What Was Your Work Out Today?

Chilly morning, 50ish F and a chill breeze, but sunny and warmed fairly fast.
Rowed just under 8.5k in bow of the quad (splitting the river with the ski team again), then went to the park and walked 5.3 miles, 3.3mph average moving speed.
At one point, four white tail deer were browsing in the woods, then ambling across the cement path in front of me to browse on the other side. They were pretty calm, relaxed - I got fairly close . . . not a hunting area, right thereabouts, so maybe they're less fearful. Nice to see them in the middle of the day like that!3 -

Yesterday no workout, I spent the day in the car and on a ferry.
After a rough night in a bad hotel, I thought I would at least take advantage of the surroundings this morning (the hotel being called Seeblick - view of the lake).
Step 1: wait 20 minutes for my watch to find a GPS signal, to no avail.
Step 2: start running anyway, without GPS, to discover the trail isn't as nice or clear as I thought.
After 10 minutes of running, trying to find my way to the lake on trails overgrown with nettles (I was wearing capris 😛) I decided to call it quits and head back for breakfast.
Perhaps I'll have time and energy to work out this evening (but not very likely with more than 700km to go till we're home).3 -
Did 27 miles @ 13.9 mph avg this morning, will be doing chores and yardwork later today.2

Treadmill (35 min walk) and Day 14 of EPIC I (Full Body Workout w/Dumbbells - Superset)
3 -
9/23, couldn't get my usual 99 minute Elliptical in due to meeting a friend for a early lunch, so I did 60. But I came back and did another 60 minutes in the afternoon! 60 feels like a "cake walk" compared to 99 straight!3

My Dad has been ill recently, which is why I am at my parents' house. He recently moved from hospital to a hospice specialising in end-of-life care. So I got to see him yesterday for the first time since this started. He is in a lot of pain.
I did a couple of walks, getting 26,000 steps for the day. I did a spot of portable hangboarding as well, moving on to 15 second repeaters.5 -
I'm back at home now, so back to the treadmill. Short run this morning, 2.72km in 20min30sec, just to get some exercise in before heading to an undoubtedly calorie rich family reunion at a restaurant.3

Treadmill only day (35min walk). Hoping to take a walk after dinner later but it's been raining so it's unlikely.3

No formal workout today, but stayed active doing the weekly grocery runs, cleaning and trimming the front tree.
Good luck Djp!2 -

IM Chattanooga done. Current made for a fast swim, rode a very controlled bike by following my power meter numbers. Beautiful bike course, which at 116 miles is 4 miles longer than the normal distance. I felt fairly strong after the controlled bike ride. Run was hilly and tough.
After the bike split, I saw a friend who was suffering both stomach distress and light headed ness after the bike.
We started the run course together as he tried to take in calories and electrolytes (chicken broth, coke, pretzels, etc) but nothing worked. I thought we were headed to the medical tent, but he kept going. At the halfway point, his wife gave him a pep talk and I told him we’d finish together. He suffered but fought through it and we finished together.
Now riding back home and wearing normatec recovery boots. Hoping I’ll be able to climb the hotel stairs tonight.
Off season plan will be a return to the gym and no endurance stuff for awhile.4 -

Congratulations! I hope your hip didn't give you trouble . . . at least not too much?1 -
@Djproulx -- Congrats on completing it and helping your friend too! That must have been hell on your friend. Amazing that he finished. What a good friend he has in you as well! Hope you're feeling OK today. I'm sure very, very sore.
One hour today -- easier stuff. 30 minutes on rower, then 30 on Assault Bike.3 -
A run on the treadmill to get rid of excess nervous energy after my first day at work, after 3 weeks of being on holiday.
3.3km @ 8kph (24min50).1 -

Thanks. While everything hurts during the second half of the marathon, my hip wasn’t an issue since I didn’t push too hard.
I’m descending stairs backwards today, but hope my quads and hamstrings will allow forward movement tomorrow. 😂5 -
Treadmill (37min walk) and Day 16 EPIC I (Back and Bicep Dumbbell Workout)2
-
7137m rowing bow in the quad this AM, a bit windy but we had rowers to put out a quad plus a double, no singles, so it worked out well. After that, 5.17mi walk. 3.2mph moving average. No deer this time, but a very cute li'l garter snake, only about 8" long.
Wandered around a good bit at the river while theoretically supervising open rowing tonight (no rowers showed up, but I had to stay for a while, did some ambling as well as reading jewelry magazines 😆). I'm at about 18k steps, including the earlier walk, so far . . . which is not bad, for a non-steps-y person.
Also visited my osteopath today, so am hopeful some knee/hip stuff may improve, once I get past the post-treatment just-worked-out feeling. (He does nothing even remotely violent/vigorous. I have no idea why it feels later like I've worked out, nor why things mysteriously improve after that settles. Not going to over-question a happy mystery, analytic though I usually am!)
Supposed to take my rowing-naive former massage therapist out in the double tomorrow for a rowing sample. That should be fun, for some values of "fun". 😉 Hoping his feet fit in the boat's shoes. (Yes, the boats have shoes attached. It's a weird sport.)3 -

Glad to hear that worked out OK: That would be a lot of distance to manage an extra-twinge-y body part. Maintaining pace is a great thing, hard under race conditions. (Adrenaline: Such a fun drug!) Nice work! Hope things improve fast.
Nice of you to support your friend, too - I'm sure it was a meaningful help to him.1 -
Sunday
I did an hour's yoga in the morning, and a brief kettle bell session just after lunch. (100 swings and 15 goblet squats with a 24 kgs bell). I then played with my hangboard a little. Finally, I did an evening walk, ending on just over 21,000 steps.
Monday
Day off, just getting 14,00 steps.

Did a 4 X 2K rowing workout today w/ 3:30 rest in between. Not a ton of rest for that hard of a row. Also on a slightly higher DF that I'm used to (used 118 on two and 130 on the other two). Averaged 2:10.4 for the four.
HR hit 90% of max on the 1st interval, then 92%, 94% and 95% on the last. But at no point did I really feel like quitting, just had to adjust the rate a bit to keep going. That's a good sign when you can think and adjust at that HR and not panic.
My goal for this year was just close the gap between my old indoor rowing paces and where I've been since my disc injury. I was hoping to get under 10 seconds off from my old paces. I used to do this workout at around a 1:57 pace average, but that was with 5 minutes rest. If I can get sub 2:07 on this by year's end, I'll be very happy. I think I'm closing the gap a bit finally.
Strength work at the gym tonight.1
