I have a few things to log:
Tuesday
Rowing, 8k metres in 2.22 pace. I was happy enough with this, as I finished at around 1 a.m., so doing the exercise showed some WIM on my part.
Wednesday
Day off
Thursday
Bouldering for 75 minutes. I nearly got to the top of a v3 I've been working on for months. The last move is really scary, and I didn't get it. But it's the first time I've been close.
Today
My only opportunity to exercise was this morning. So I did 2x8 minutes rowing; with 2 minutes rest between sets. 2.14 pace overall, with the second set being slightly faster than the first.
Climbers tend to make really good indoor rowers. I have a good online training buddy that does a ton of both and he's become a very strong rower. Like ridiculously good and he's a British "lightweight" (under 165 lbs). Just be careful with your rowing grip and make sure it's light -- wrapping just the fingers and not the thumb. Climbing and rowing can be very tough on your fingers. My buddy only has to usually take time off both if he has a finger ligament injury, which used to happen a lot more often when he was getting acclimated to both.
I honestly can't fathom doing both but my fingers and toes have never been particularly strong.1 -
Friday Yayday
30 min personal training, trx working shoulders and chest (back, triceps and biceps are going to be hit on Monday)
45min total body conditioning class, basically legs, bums and tums with a bit of arms thrown in for good measure
Total of just over 3 miles run, 1.2mile warm up, run up a nasty hill, half mile cool down then a mile with my 5 year old. I think it's really important the children see me active and have a chance to join in at their level if they want.1 -
LesMills Body Combat-1 hour
Walked dog- 45 min
Les Mills Body flow 45 min, training to be instructor so practicing by myself1 -
Spin class yesterday (7/11), 6.9k rowing the double today (7/12) . . . continuing the routine that makes me happy, but isn't all that fascinating to write about.
Feeling a bit of . . . I dunno . . . either training envy or training intimidation on this thread (in context of an personal routine I actively enjoy btw). There's a sense in which I miss doing more-structured rowing training (which I quit quite intentionally, for reasons of life-balance satisfaction as well as a perceived need to vary training load away from a "best performance" goal because of some physical issues). The other rowers on the thread, especially, sound like they're having fun, so maybe I just have FOMO.
Keep up the goodness, all!5 -

If you find the answer to balance in life, I'll be first in line to buy your book! Speaking for just me, personally, this week wasn't fun at all but I did find out some answers regarding if I can hold up OK with more rigorous training, for now at least.
When you swing too far to any side, whether it's life or training, you give up something. To me, just from what I know about you on here, sounds like you have a very fulfilling life. You certainly help and motivate many, including me, on here. If you want to swing back to more competitive work, it doesn't have to be all consuming. I think much of my indoor training is so I can be like you when I retire and simply have the capacity to learn OTW rowing.
If you're looking for challenge, but not too much seriousness, I thought of the "Nonathlon" for you. It's a bunch of indoor rowers that row literally every distance and keep fun scores. You get handicapped for being a lightweight or female or older. You work on distances from 100m all the way up to a Marathon. Most do it for fun and just to make training more interesting. Plus, the community of folks is fantastic. I've never done it but have thought about it. Sounds like a blast.

Oh, today was 30 minutes on the rower (finally kept my HR down, I think it never crept above 132) and 20 REALLY easy minutes on the Air Bike. Real easy recovery stuff.4 -

Last week was vacation. Some pretty active days, and a good deal of laying around. It was fabulous.
This week- as of this morning I had gotten in 3 Krav Maga classes and 2 full body lifting sessions. Feels good to be back!0 -
I went on a 3 mile walk with my husband this morning to get coffee. Not very far, but I haven't exercised in a long time, so this was a pretty good workout to start. Yesterday I started the 30 day shred level one and realized how out of shape that I have gotten- I had to pause it half way through and give myself a break. I plan on completing the 30 days and incorporating a bit of cardio this month to gradually get back to working out more.0
