    Recovering from foot surgery... But today I (finally) managed a 1.25 mile walk in 20 minutes. :) Running is happening soon, dangit!

    Fitness testing week. Today was my first full FTP test on the bike this season. Goal is to assess Functional Threshold Power and Lactic Threshold HR, so we can set my training zones for the next block of training.

    60 minute workout, starting with various warmup outputs, then some 1 minute Hard/Easy intervals followed by another 10 minutes of warmup before the test. Test was a 20 minute effort going as hard as possible while trying not to fade. FTP tests are very uncomfortable. Glad it is over.

    First of two swim tests scheduled this week will be done tomorrow.

    1/2 hour of supersetting (lots of pullups, pushups, barbell work, slam ball work and jump box, along with deadlifts and squats), then 250m X 6 sprints on the rower. An hour of decently hard work.

    Rooftop yoga tonight. Had to switch from Thursday to Tuesday evening as the wife and I have joined a golf league which starts Thursday night of this week.

    Legs today. Upper body is not sore, so time to add sets.

    Chest day, mostly standard bench press, and some pushups. 10k steps and about to head out for a brisk walk with my wife.

    30'-ish yoga - stretch - foam roll.
    5274m machine row, 2:32.6 avg pace, 16 spm avg, below 70% HR reserve.

    Took an extra day off yesterday (except the yoga etc.) , no great justification or rationale, just slacking. 🤷‍♀️

    Today so far I'm sitting in a ferry terminal waiting for my boat back to shore. Last two days I've visited two islands. On the first I walked some 15km over sandy beach, marshland, and sand dunes, and on the second cycled some 40km and walked around 10km over terrain where I could not cycle. My Garmin watch told me I was slightly stressed out and maybe a mild workout might be exactly what I needed at the end of both days :D

    Sounds like a great way to spend a couple days!

    First of two swim fitness tests this morning. 500 yards of warmup, then a 400 yd test, 4min recovery then a 200 yd test. Lungs were on fire.
    As an adult onset swimmer, I'm not as adept at maintaining good form as I fatigue during higher intensity swims. I'd much rather suffer on the bike or the run, lol.

    Rest day tomorrow.

    I'm following the Push, Pull, Legs routine these days. I can see really good results with it. I gained about 4 kg weight in 2 months and very good strength with it. I'm also very good at Pull-ups now.
    Anyways, Push Day for me today:

    Incline bench press 4 x 10
    Flat DB press 4 x 12
    Pec Deck Flyes 4 x 12
    Shoulder Press 4 x 10
    Side Lateral Raises 4 x 12
    Tricep pushdowns 4 x 12
    Skull crushers 4 x 12

    Treadmill walking 20 minutes.

    So been a bit sidelined as of late. First, had a back procedure that gave me a couple of stitches so had to wait 2 weeks for that to heal, then immediately threw my back out (unrelated). So just got back into the swing of things last week.

    Went back to C25K Week 4 to get my running legs back, I'm on W5D2 as of today. Doing VERY light weight/body weight work so I don't compromise my back again, too. Lots of walking mixed in when the weather will allow as well.

    So today: 2.33 miles running/walking

    Today was my favorite! LEG 🦵 Day. 30 minutes with my personal trainer. Then a podiatry appt for a cortisone injection in my foot. I'm praying I can workout tomorrow.

    * 30' or so of yoga/stretching/foam rolling
    * 5.14 mile walk, 3.9mph average pace
    * 24' upper body supersets, light weights
    * 30' easy pace stationary bike (65% HR reserve and below)

    Combo of light snow and sunshine (sometimes simultaneously!) on the walk: Gotta love Spring in Michigan, because . . . really, what's the alternative? 😆🤣 Not gonna move.

    Tuesday
    I visited my parents. It's the first time I've seen them since my Dad's cancer diagnosis (and subsequent chemo and remission.) It was good - they seemed well.

    It was 8 hours' driving, so I didn't get much exercise in, just 16,000 steps.

    Wednesday
    I went to the climbing gym. I was terrible - worse than my first session since lock-down ended. It was 90 minutes, and I was still doing harder stuff at the end, so my endurance was at least OK.

    I tried to avoid gyms before seeing my folks, due to risks from new Rona variants. Now I'm unlikely to see them for at least another month, I may start to go a bit more frequently again.

    Got in a quick circuit training workout this morning. 3 rounds of push ups, pull ups, goblet squats, single leg deadlifts, and various core exercises (leg lifts, planks, side plank/lifts, etc). Plus a 1 mile walk this morning during a break at work. I'll try for another one this afternoon...

    Got a late start today and only did 6K on the rower. First night of a new social golf league this evening. They make you get a cart to move play along faster, but I hope to get at least some walking in while walking to the ball (and I'm not a great golfer, so that could end up quite a bit!).

    Rest day yesterday, so I'm back to fitness testing today.
    Second swim test of the week this morning, a timed 1,000 yard effort after roughly 500yds of warm up laps. Don't yet have full swim speed back, but my
    endurance is improving.
    Today's other test will be a timed 5k run after work.

    8 rounds of Supersetting weights for 30 minutes. HR got up to 80% max during that. Then did 2 X 1000m rows. Around 45 minutes total, 50 including the rowing break, waiting for HR to come down.
