    One of those days where you don't feel like working out. Wife wanted to go to a bar last night, on a whim after dinner, and it was close enough to the UofA that it was a nice mix of all ages. Band was amazing and we were up WAY past our normal bed times! Got to let my wife get that wild side out occasionally!

    Did 6K this morning and 25 more minutes on the Assault Bike, all pretty easy recover pace.

    Had a nice day for a fall group ride, so 7 of us headed out this morning. Nobody in the group is race training currently, so it was an easy paced ride that included a few stops for pictures. We rode a 56 mile out and back route at just over 16mph. Climbing was modest at 2800 ft of elevation gain.

    Colors were either at or just past their peak. We just won't get many more 65 degree days to ride this fall!

    Stayed active all weekend doing chores around the house, baking stuff for Halloween (we had family over), running errands, etc.

    Got up this morning and did a brisk 18.4 miles @ 13.4 mph avg. Will be doing upper body stuff later today.

    I spent the weekend "dry" caving in the Medips in Somerset. It was really good fun - I ended up joining the caving club. We did a very small portion of Swildon's Hole on Saturday and a bit of GB on Sunday.

    I was filled with energy on getting home, so went to my local climbing gym. I should have checked online - it was shut when I arrived. So I went for a walk instead.

    I got a short 40 minute training climb on my home wall over lunch today.

    9K easy rowing today. Lovely day outside. Hand slowly feeling better.

    Finally figured out how I hurt it. I was letting an irrigation contractor through my side and the gate was broken by the pool guys. Wasn't too upset as it's an old gate anyway and planned on replacing it. But the inside bracket is out of the wall and the whole thing fell in and I hammered it with my hand. At the time, didn't think much of it. Funny how you forget how you hurt yourself at times.

    Dinner party today (lunch actually) at our house with some friends and their two kids.
    We went for a walk together before dessert, 5,5km just before this downpour came along:

    To offset all that food (the highlights being meatloaf, gratin dauphinois and sticky toffee pudding) I did a 4km interval session this evening on the treadmill.

    Rowed 6.8k in 3 seat of the quad, on our chilliest day yet, in the thirties F, so not much above freezing.

    There was frost on the dock when we launched. (For those not in cold places: There can be frost on the ground in the morning when the air temp is a bit above freezing. I think it was around 37F/2.7C at that point. Sunrise was 8:12AM, we got there about 8:45.) Between the frosty dock, and recent rains making the bank between boathouse and dock very muddy, it was very slippery for carrying the boat. Four of us carry about that's around 100 pounds, on our shoulders, mostly, two people on each side.

    We're running out of season . . . .

    I spent about 2 and a half hours hand pulling the roots of a tree out of a flower bed that it had invaded (the tree died a couple of months ago and was cut down). In the process, I found a bunch of medium sized rocks that used to be on the surface as a sort-of mulch. I moved those to a pile. I have no idea how to record this as exercise. I chose Yoga, since I was moving slowly, but definitely using muscles. I'm going to be sore. haha...

    Here is an out of focus shot of me from the weekend.

    I didn't do much exercise last night, as I signed up for a ghost walk around my town. It was interesting - there is apparently a friendly ghost on my street. (It' Sergeant Green, who was killed in riots by Canadian soldiers against the police station just after the end of World War 1. The murderer was never charged, due to political considerations, and eventually committed suicide.)

    I did a walk this morning, so got 10,000 steps before breakfast. I should be able to get a climb in this evening.

    Gym work with small group and trainer this am. Focus on stability while performing movements, such as curl & press while standing on BOSU ball. Band pulls while on BOSU, dumbbell pull throughs while holding a plank, etc.

    Was going to repeat last week's 4 X 2K on the rower, but middle right finger literally feels broken. Hurt so bad I aborted on 2nd interval. Finished 3 more intervals on LateralX and Assault Bike. Might have to take time off rower to heal it.

    Luckily, I have other options for cardio.

    This morning I was tired and just not feeling it, so I walked on the treadmill for an hour while watching a movie. I plan on hitting the gym a little harder tomorrow.

    30 minutes of legs. Lot of lunges & squats. I'm hoping after a long weekend "off" I can get back into the grind again this week.

    Around half an hour of stationary bike, moderate pace, fit in around some other activities.

    Later, functional strength workout 😉: Helped a friend load up many boxes of books (from her sister who's moving due to health issues) in both our vehicles, driving them to a local library that accepts donations for their fund-raiser book sale, unloading into their storage room there.

    I walked 8km this morning
