What Was Your Work Out Today?

Yesterday I ran for the first time in several months (due to injury). It was a short run (1.5 miles), and I’m going to have to keep them short for a while, but I ran. And it felt amazing.5

Three mile walk. I’m trying to fit in stretching and abs before I leave for the weekend, and then it’s body surfing all weekend and lots of walking in the sand. I pushed myself and I guess I lifted too heavy on bis and tris day because my elbow is too sore to do shoulders today. I’m hoping it will be well enough by Monday, but if not, I’ll have to lay off the upper body weights until it feels better and ease back into it with yoga first.2

I love trail running. My trail running time is about equal to my street running time - I think it’s totally mental for me. I spend so much time watching wildlife and my footing that the time goes by faster so I don’t feel like I’m slogging through my run. I only do about 2.5 miles though. Five is a long trail run!2 -

Rowed another 7.3k in the double.2
-
Trailered boats for an hour and a half: de-rigging, moving shells (boats) to the trailers, moving oars, making sure we had enough oars (thank god me and another person voiced our skepticism to each other, counted, and then consulted our coach...), etc. Lots of walking back and forth.
Drove to Seattle, walked around the university district, and now I'm about to go to a cafe before going to my airbnb. It's not even 4 and I have nearly 8,600 steps, and that's despite little over three hours sitting in my car driving up here.
edit: and after walking to said coffee shop, I'm up to 9,780 steps and I'm sure my garmin thinks I've walked up more floors than i have - Seattle being hilly and such.1 -
SS (steady state) day today. Made it 50 minutes on the rower until my HR creeped above 145. Was very pleased with that (over 10K meters). Numbers looked very consistent on speed, SR and HR throughout. Around 2:26 or so average pace. Very happy after the hard day I did yesterday. Finished with 10 minutes on the AirBike.2

Climbed blueberry mountain and picked a 1L container of wild berries with the fiance, kiddo and dogs.

Thanks and will do! The preview is that it my day will involve a half an hour walk from my AirBnB to the regatta at 6:50am. While I am 3 blocks from the lake, I am not three blocks from where my club's tent will likely be

Same. My road time is practically zero just now. I'll do a treadmill run Mondays and my two other weekly runs have been trails for a while now. The boredom is real on asphalt! I got my five done yesterday and it was 900' - took me like an hour twenty but felt really good. I'm thinking yoga and light cardio today

My workout today was a 45 minute Bodypump class. I've not been in well over a year so started light with the weights but I am looking forward to getting properly back into it.1

Rowed 8.2k in my single. Only the 2nd time in the single this season. Regaining the feel, working my way toward a little more push, at least in sections of river with less of the blade-grabbing weed carpet. 1

Today was 5/3/1 bench followed up with some close grip bench, arms, abs and for the grand finale I did some tire flipping which really made me question my sanity2

55 min run.
My knee feels great. I’m a teacher and I started back at school this week with an hour commute. Feeling the exhaustion and only got in 5 workouts this week that were pretty simple. Hoping I can get through the next week with 180 new students and figure out how to get my workouts in too...3 -

Thanks to you guys for the rowing advice. I did a very short row the other day to look at my form and I loosened my grip quite a bit—made a huge difference!2 -
Regatta report:
Green Lake is pray to some really awful wind so save for the races early (like anything before 8am) the water was really choppy. I was in a quad and a 4. The quad was my first sculling race and it went pretty well all things considered. I mean we were more or less last, but we knew that would be the case given the makeup of the boat. I sat 2 and was complimented on my outside voice* by one of the people in my club who was helping us with or oars**.
My 4 went a lot better. We were 5th on the water (out of 7) though had a crab not happened we probably would have been 4th. The conditions were marginally better than the race in the morning and our warm up was much better.
After eating dinner, I walked around playing Pokemon Go for an hour - like one does on community day
*For people who have never sculled - if you're in a quad that isn't coxed (so 4 people rowing with two oars - one in each hand), the person in two makes all of the calls and essentially coxes the boat (save for steering - but you do relay the steering calls from the person in bow to the rest of the boat). I am, generally speaking, a very quiet person and am not especially confident with regards to rowing when all is said and done. I'm improving quickly, but I'm also likely the least experienced sculler in the whole club.
**For the people who don't row on the water/haven't competed in a regatta - often (almost always?) when you go to the dock you have someone helping you/the crew with your oars due, in part, to speed but also because oars are long and cumbersome and, depending on the regatta, there are a lot of obstacles (people, other boats, etc), you need to maneuver in such a way so that an official can check the boat (which would necessitate dropping your oars, etc.2 -
