    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.

    Today, I completed a shoulder workout. Debating if I should get some cardio done later...

    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.

    Did roughly 50 minutes of steady state (moderately easy) cardio. First half on the LateralX and then second part on the Assault Bike. These will likely be my two main cardio workouts for a week or two. Even though I enjoy the rowing machine the best, on easy days, it's much easier to control the HR with these two machines. I had no issues keeping the HR right around 62% to 67% max. Much more challenging to keep it that low on the rower.

    Rowers that are way more experienced than I am tend to keep it between 60% and 65% max HR on their "base" days so they can push it really hard on the interval and distance timed pieces.

    Before dinner, I did a treadmill run: 7.25km in 51min08. I was planning a steady-state run but ended up increasing my speed at the end to the point of setting a new personal 1km and 1mi best.

    46 minutes on the spin bike to start the morning, upper body work out this afternoon.

    Gym session again this am. Stability and core work. Swiss ball rollouts, curls w/squats, TRX rows, dumbbell back flys (1 leg extended off ground), med ball pass throughs, etc. 1 min assault bike between rounds.

    Just signed up for a 6 week combo spin class/core session on Sundays. Its a 75 minute spin followed by 15min core workout led by one of my training partners. A group of friends who I've named "The Torture Sisters" have signed up as well, so it should be both painful and fun. :D
