What Was Your Work Out Today?

Another improbably warm, calm November day in mid-Michigan, warm enough to row the double in short sleeves (for the usual 7k-ish), and so calm I didn't much worry about the guy out in the single with us (even though he really, really can't steer yet . . . 😆 . . . he goes much farther than we do, with the zig-zags, but he's getting some speed nowadays so we don't need to slow down much to keep him in view for safety purposes).

This isn't today, it's a similar day late last week; and it's not the double, it's the quad. Our mix'n'match lineup: Me in bow (at right, in yellow, age 65 in a week), two women in stroke and 3 seat who are 73 and 74 respectively, and our 29-year-old dual medical doctor (DO) and PhD student guy buddy in 2 seat.



Fall colors are fading, as you can see, but man, this weather lately has been amazing!

Walked to the mall, hoping to go to the dog park later

Climbed over lunch. I seem to be pretty weak at the moment - I got a forearm pump very quickly.

1 hour on the stationary bike at Level 3 although the competitive guy in me said you can do Level 4 the sane guy in me said but but your right knee is not ready for it yet, and going swimming after work, and it aint summer any more folks

Just a li'l intentional walk, two birds one stone, getting outdoors for some fresh air (no sun, but warm), delivering a pair of earrings I made to a local friend who wanted them. A little over 3 miles, 3.8mph.

For some reason, my Garmin lost its mind on the walk: It was only gently rolling terrain, but it decided I went up 415 floors, and down 338 floors. Um, what? (Yesterday, when I was up and down the full flight of stairs in my house *at least* 10 times, and probably more like 20, it thinks I went up 7 floors and down 9 (trust me, I was up & down the same number of times - all my living areas are on the 2nd floor, so there's no way for it to be uneven up/down unless I sleep in the garage. I would've noticed. 😆)

Veteran's Day morning session with the legendary Team Body Project:

• "Walking Cardio Evolve"
• "Boxing Resistance Express"
• "H2O Refresh"

Happy, Blessed Veteran's Day!! Thank you to those of you who have served, who are serving, and thank your loved ones who have served and are in the service. God bless you all, courageous heroes.

Update: Tragically was sent to the hospital and now a neurologist to see what this back pain is about. Sigh*

I worked out like a beast yesterday doing 95 minutes of circuit training, so today was an active "rest day." Squeezed in 35 minutes of ab/core workout. 💪

Oh no!!
I am so sorry you are in pain.
Try not to be discouraged.
I am praying that not only you heal soon, but that you are in the most capable and graceful hands, and the neurologist figures it out. (:

Ironically, the doc was like 'pls continue to lift weights, we don't want you to become any weaker!!'
