    On today's menu: a 7.43km hike in 2h08min. Overall ascent 323m (1060ft).

    A few steep parts where I was unsure of my footing, and we also walked (very gingerly) over a very rusty looking metal footbridge with most of the wooden floorboards rotten or missing, after first having to hoist myself onto the beginning of the bridge, which was probably around 1 meter of the ground. Definitely wouldn't have done that 65lbs ago.

    Aside from that little adventure, a fairly easy hike (by Norwegian standards). My biggest frustration is my Garmin Vivoactive that is soooo slow to find a GPS signal. Seriously, hanging around for 10 minutes on a parking lot waiting for a signal is like watching paint dry 🙄

    I went for a couple of walks yesterday, I think getting in around 20,000 steps. I replaced my smashed Fitbit yesterday, so I will start tracking accurately again as of today. (I smashed it by wearing it whilst climbing, and then took it under my drysuit wrist seal on a few dives. At the risk of anthropomorphising, it didn't seem to like the combination of a crack and salt water.)

    I need to decide if to get a South Coast dive in this Saturday. The dive will be in Portland, Dorset; and I am currently in Norwich, Norfolk. It's a long trek between the two, and Sunday seems to be blown out.

    I'm sick so it may be a rest day. If I do something today it will be yoga or a walk.

    A shorter hike today because of the not so nice weather forecast: 6.16km in 1h44min, 232 meters (760 feet) total ascent. Easy path (aside from the incline, yet again 😁) and good pace most of the way, except an iffy steep descent with tree roots and mossy stones wet from recent rain, which I descended at a snail's pace.

    Injured reserve for the next few days. Pulled my hip flexor playing badminton so rest, ice and stretching for the next couple of days.... Hopefully it isn't serious and heals up quickly...

    Today is a rest day - no bike ride this morning. Will be doing some lighter body weight stuff this afternoon.

    Muscle tension intervals on the bike trainer today as part of a short endurance ride. 1:18:00 total ride time included two 10min endurance paced blocks and 8 x4 minutes at sweet spot power output and low cadence. Purpose is to simulate IM bike course.

    After 3 months of base work and 24 weeks of a race build, this was my last workout before leaving for Chattanooga. Will leave tomorrow afternoon and break up the drive into two days, arriving on Thursday. Race check in/packet pickup on Friday, bike check in on Saturday, race on Sunday. IM Chattanooga is 144.6 mile event, with the slightly longer bike course generating some added mileage. Swim is a 2.4 mile downstream river swim. Bike course heads south, most of it in northern Georgia. Marathon run is a two loop course that starts with some hills, then mostly flat. Starts and ends in town by the river. Athletes must complete the full course in 16:30:00 to avoid a DNF.

    Really looking forward to riding the bike segment of the race, since it is done over rolling hills in a beautiful setting

    @Djproulx -- best of luck and I hope that the hip stays good throughout for you!

    Did a brisk (not quite all out) 5K today on the rower. 2:14 average pace. Decided last week that I need to add more stress and see how far it gets me. I had been really taking it easy on my easy days and I'm not making much headway so we'll see how going harder (at least on the power part) of my rowing days might workout. Did another 500m X 3 after that.

    Finished with 15 minutes or so on the LateralX. Gym (lifting) tonight.

    Pretty much decided to take a rest day today, given that the weather forecast was iffy, and based on how I was feeling physically after skipping my usual rest day on Sunday and getting some unaccustomed movement type in there besides. However, I did take a walk, a little over 3 miles at 3.5mph, while my car was in for service: Beats sitting in a poorly-ventilated waiting room, even though it was sprinkling a little outside.

    Wore the HRM at the gym last night. It mostly worked with the exception of one drop. Was curious to see how many calories I burn at the gym. I was there around an hour and burned 630 calories for the lift. I superset, just like at home, basically straight from one set to another with no rest. Definitely feeling the legs are getting stronger with consistent heavy weights again.

    3rd outdoor run on my trip in Norway. Up and down run again, some downhills so steep I had to slow myself down (worried about falling, loose gravel) before finding an area with less 'extreme' inclines.

    Short but intense run, especially when the sun came out: 3 km in 21min. New 1km record (6.23min), undoubtedly helped by a downhill section.

    I never thought I'd say this, but perhaps I might venture outside a bit more for my runs when I'm back home, seems to be good for increasing my speed 🙂

    I aimed to go for a walk befir work, but didn't leave myself enough time. So I went for a run instead. It wasn't very far - 1 mile in 9 minutes.

    I got an evening walk instead.

    No workout today, spent the day browsing second hand shops and then spent the evening with family before we start the 2 day journey back home tomorrow. Still managed to get 15k steps in today.

    Morning ride - 17.83 miles @13.4 mph, 80 minutes on the bike. It has been chilly (upper 50's) the last couple of mornings which has made for a more enjoyable ride. The only thing is that I have to remind myself to drink - less sweat, less obvious need for water replacement.

    Oh, I surpassed 700 miles for the year with this morning's ride - I should come close to 1,500 miles for the year, depending on when it gets cold and shuts me down for the year. Not bad since I didn't get back on the bike until July this year (lazy so and so that I am).

    Took yesterday off and had to go to the dentist. Today was back at it with supersets X 8 with 500m rowing sprints all together. 500m sprint, do 15 to 20 each of chest, shoulders and legs, repeat. Only 4 minutes between rowing sets to get the superset in and rest. Worked out to around 90 seconds of actual rest.

    Goal was to hit 2:00 pace for all 8 intervals. Barely missed it, in large part because my neighbor wanted to say hi and thought my rest period was actually rest. Not the worst thing could happen and certainly wasn't going to tell them I couldn't say hi.
