What Was Your Work Out Today?

Two one-hour Jazzercise classes, first one was Dance Mixx. Second one was LO-Flip Fusion, with incorporated cardio and strength training. I'm trying to get a streak going, of any exercise. Today is Day #1.

Completed a 2500 yard swim workout last night. Focused on putting in a third swim each week to build endurance.

This morning I joined a very large group ride designed as a cancer research fund raiser. Three of us decided on the 50 mile route. It was humid, hilly and fun. We didn't push too hard, averaging 16.3pmh. I rode the nine miles to the ride starting point, then rode home, for a 68 mile total ride. Once home, did a quick change into my run gear for a 25 minute transition run. Swim and long run tomorrow.

120 mile bike ride

Nice work.

1:40:00 trail/road run today on tired legs after yesterdays long bike. 8.75miles done at slightly slower than HIM pace. Short endurance swim this afternoon. 2300 yds includes a 1000yd steady state swim, then 2 x250 @ race pace.

Rest day tomorrow.

Sunday's usually rest day, but I took a easy pace bike ride today, just over 15 miles. (I'd missed or scaled back outdoor workouts earlier in the week due to weather problems complicated by schedule issues, and it was nice today, if on the warm side of my comfort level at mid 80s F, sunny, around 50% humidity.)

Diving weekend! I spent Thursday packing - Friday promised a long drive and I wanted to be ready.

On Friday, I worked for about 5 hours (having booked the afternoon off), and set off at about 2 p.m. Traffic was terrible, so I got to camp site at about 9.30 p.m. Fortunately, there was still enough light to see what we were doing when we pitched the tent.

I only got 9,000 steps in, making the first day this year I've got fewer than 10,000.

Saturday went reasonably smoothly. We did a 26m wreck dive in the morning (although due to faff, I think we got in the water at about 1 p.m. missing slack water. It was neaps, so the current wasn't too bad - you could swim against it with a bit of effort.) Then we had a chilled reef dive in the afternoon. We saw a dogfish, loads of crab, wrasse, blennies, congers.

On Saturday evening, the boat trailer broke. The two doing the towing ended spending the night in the van where it broke down.

So Sunday was not effort-free: after breakfast, we packed the tents and cleaned up the site. We drove to the van to pick up tanks and kit off the boat. I drove to Port Gaverne, where we dropped the stuff off, and then to the top of of the hill about a mile away where the nearest non-full car park was. It turned out that some of the tanks were not full, so I went back up the hill to my car, back to the boat, and picked up more tanks. Then I went back to the port; dropped off the extra kit; back up the hill to park; and walked back down to get ready to dive,

The nice upshot of this faffing was that I had my 10,000 steps before the dive. I think I got into the water at about 1 p.m. The shore dive was lovely - we saw a cuttlefish, as well as the usual suspects. It was a 75 minute dive in the shallows.

I then drove home. Traffic, amazingly, was not too bad - it took about 5 hours, and I got home at about 11.30 p.m. There was then one last effort needed to move kit from car to my dining room (which serves as a kit store at the moment).

@drmwc - That's a lot of walking for a trip designed as a dive weekend!! Boat trailering has caused me some problems as well over the years.

I'll just stick to the weight room, thank you very much. Today was leg day, so squats, stiff leg deadlifts, heavy leg presses and machine hamstring curls.

3 mile walk and 30 mins online pilates class.
