Tonight is golf league night. 2 1/2 hours of finding my wife's golf ball

LOL, I"ve been there!!

Easy 55 minute run tonight. I love recovery weeks.

Enjoy the easier week!

The thing about my wife, she's likely more athletically talented than I am. If she actually would practice, she'd be really great at golf.

@dethstar77 -- hope your knee feels better soon.

Walked over 17 000 steps today.

Cycled 74km. Average speed was only 21.5kmh, but that’s including waiting at traffic lights, bridges, railways, and taking a river pontoon.

My garmin gave me 596 intensity minutes this week so far 🥰

Weather cleared up. 40s F and sunny. It was almost scary windy/wavy . . . or would've been in singles/doubles, luckily we had enough rowers for a quad, 4 rowers in a 40' boat, our 30-something y/o one-time Big Ten champion in stroke (of course!), me in bow because I'm loud enough to shout steering orders, and confident enough to risk it. 😆

There was a bass tournament going on, on the river. Not a big deal, as they mostly sit still and fish structure on the sides. But since there's a time limit, they'll zoom from spot to spot sometimes. Usually most are aware and considerate, too. It's OK when they're hydroplaning, mostly, but one gifted us a really major acceleration wake, close up, right next to a bridge with big concrete pillars, at the spot that had the worst wind-driven waves, when we were in the middle of spinning the boat. 🙄

Later, 38' mostly upper body strength work.

Regular rest day tomorrow (Sunday), probably do some stretch-yoga-foam roll but no other formal exercise. Expecting 5 rowers (including me) on Monday AM; I may cox instead of row for collective safety if it's windy again, we'll see.

Today I did roughly an hour of bodyweight workouts, Reddit recommended routine. In the evening I went for a run, trying to improve my ability to run 10k, and possibly to run it a bit faster. Today it was 5.6km at 0.12min/km faster than a 6.6km run last week. I'll have another 6.6 run this week. Lets see if I can run that one faster as well.

Back into a more normal (?) schedule:

* 7100m rowing bow in the quad, on a lovely, lovely, day.
* 5.1 mile . . . amble? . . . at 3.1mph on a bike/walk trail. (Extended the turnaround end of the trail to a sprawling local produce/grocery/food market, got a big cup of gelato, half chocolate caramel pretzel, half tiramisu - so yum!)
* 36' strength workout.

Last week's break was good for me (resting HR dropped), and I should do a slower ramp-up since I took the break thinking I'd overdone, but I have an annoying eye surgery thing scheduled on 6/10, so I'm anticipating an even more annoying total hiatus in all exertion, minimum one week, but could be longer - won't know until after surgery, when we know how much she needed to do. Hate that kind of cr*p!)

Garmin's given me another walking VO2max estimate downgrade to 39, boo-hoo. 😉😆

My dive trip is over.

The final dive was a bit epic - 62 minutes on a 24m wreck, with about 15 minutes outside the wreck (most of which was my buddy's deco stop) and the rest squirrelling around in small, silty holes. I was on nitrox 32%, so I had no deco, but my buddy was on air.

My air consumption was why we needed to end - I was on a single tank, and ended on 60 bar. So it was a perfectly judged dive from that regard.

That gives a Surface Air Consumption Rate of 16l per minute, which is relatively high by my standards; but it was a relatively challenging dive. The current was running; and my drysuit leaked. So I was proper freezing at the end. The vis was probably good on the outside, but not so good in silty holes. The SAC is still probably on the lower end of the spectrum of UK divers.

Normally I'm just a walker but recently started volunteering at a therapeutic horse riding center and it's still just walking but a lot more fun

That sure sounds like fun!
