    Started a body weight program. 3-sets each pushups, inverted rows, diamond pushups, deep squats, single leg calf raises, stationary lunges, lying leg raises, and floor crunches. This is week one. Sets increase by one each week for three weeks phase 1. Staying out of the gym currently due to Covid....Turning 62 next week and this is a great workout!

    Hardish 5K on the rower, then another 2.5K. First 5K @ 2:15, then at 2:24 or so. Hardly fast but got the HR up to around 90% max and kept it there. Stayed around 170 once I got it up there. Just working on building up time on these sustained harder rows for now. Will worry about strength later once I finish setting up the garage gym.

    Intentional solo roadside walk, just over 4mi, slightly slower pace (3.4mph) to pay attention to glute engagement, try to protect my evil knees (the waterproof boots are not good walkers, especially on hard surfaces).

    Then get some kinks out with 2 x 1k rowing machine, first one with WU in it at 2:27.1, second one at 2:15.8. 2825m overall with a CD and whatnot.

    Knees, ugh. Foam roller & lacrosse ball later, I think.

    10K row today. Steady state, just trying to keep HR at or under 75% max, which has seemed hard lately for me. Managed to do that, though it was slow (around 2:36 pace @ 20 SPM). Real light DF.

    I did an hour's yoga today, and then climbed. I started off surprisingly on form. However, I got pumped quite fast and was falling off jugs by the end. It was good fun, if a little cold (around zero Celsius.) It was about a 70 minute session.

    I will finish off the day with a 7 or 8 mile walk.

    I've bought myself a continuous glucose monitor. I haven't put it on yet - I'll do it later this week. My plan is to tailor my diet and exercise to minimise glucose peaks. There is a very English, coffee, breakfast related video on it here:

    Another 10K row today -- same pace as yesterday (2:36) but my HR average was 8 beats lower. Nearly the entire row under 70% max. So nice improvement in HR.

    I attempted hangboarding yesterday, but I was terrible. So I gave up on it, send also gave up on my planned upper body lifts, since did a 6 mile walkv instead.

    I will re-try today. It may be that I didn't give myself long enough to recover after climbing the day before

    Indoor bike session this am.

    Repeat 3x's 8 minutes @ Zone 3, 50-60 rpms in a big gear, stayed below threshold.

    Lower back pain subsiding slowly. Trying to swim it away.

    Don't know if this would help you, but I use both a foam roller and tennis ball on my lower back to counteract soreness brought on by cycling and running. In addition, I perform several sets of "Up Dog" style pushups. I typically do one or both of these things daily. Finally, I get significant relief from deep tissue massage every few weeks.

    Good luck with healing.
