    Skipped the indoor ride in favor of a long outdoor walk with my dog and a shotgun.;) Put in several miles walking through brush and corn fields on a friend's farm. No pheasants today, but plenty of exercise and quality time spent with my dog. :) Spin class tomorrow.

    Spin class today. A fun 75 minute workout set up as a race format, designed to simulate parts of the Lake Placid bike course. 15 minute core routine followed.

    I've been working out, just been too lazy to post here 😁
    Anyway, this afternoon I went for a walk in the woods after buying a second hand Garmin Vivoactive 4 (my current one is on the fritz and I'll need a backup while it's being fixed, might take up to a month). It was already nearly 3PM when we started the walk, so we did 12.5km in 2hr25, quite a good pace and by the time we arrived back at the car it was dark.

    My run yesterday wasn't great, so I did a run tonight, 6km in 42min50.

    29000 steps today, not bad!

    Shopping with lots of walking the last two days... my wife is Mexican and its tamale season so we are also in the middle of prep for that... the next couple of days will be rather hectic around here.

    I lifted on Friday, doing:
    3 sets of 5, bench, 55 kgs
    Deadlift, 1 set of 5, 120 kgs
    Hangboard.

    Yesterday, I did a 21 mile walk. My step count average has been over 21,000 a day for to the last few weeks.

    Today, I played on my home climbing wall for an hour. I hadn't used it for a while, I was out of practice at it. My dynos were good, though.

    90 minutes super easy row -- 16500 meters. On my "long slow" day, I try to keep HR under 65% max. It averaged 65% but got up as high as 72%, but nearly all was under 70%. All unstrapped again on the rower (you sacrifice a bit of speed for working on form).

    I go to the office less than once a week lately, but my commute seems to have issues half of the time. Today it took me 2hrs to get home instead of 45 minutes, so no strength training before dinner as intended.

    Instead, a short but intense run after having given myself enough time to digest my dinner: 4km in 26min29, starting at 8kph and increasing by 0.5kph every 5 minutes. Z1 for 1%, Z2 for 16%, Z3 for 38%, Z4 for 40% and Z5 for 2%.
    I don't often do cardio that intense, but a good way to let off some steam.

    Rowing machine, 8,214 meters, 18spm, 2:35.0 pace, 77% Z3, the balance below.

    This is the last few days of the Concept 2 Holiday Challenge, and I'm at 180,637 of the 200,000 meters I told myself I'd complete between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. That's about a day's worth of meters ahead of schedule, no more rest days prescheduled.

    After the Challenge, my usual annual routine is to be out of patience with this unnatural consistency, then take a rebel few days to week or so and completely slack off. Soon enough, I'll start feeling so tense and grumpy that I realize I really must get into an active routine again in order to stay happy and even remotely semi-sane.

    Oh, wait, I mean: After the Challenge, I have scheduled a vital annual formal full recovery week, before I recommit to training in preparation for Spring.

    Heh.

    So true! For quite a while, my PR fasted 500m rower piece was one that happened when I was really, really mad at my oncologist. 🤣 It did help.

    My routine today was simple and a little random. I was more tired than usual but I feel it was an effective workout nonetheless.

    Warmed up with a mile on the elliptical with some resistance, only takes a few minutes.
    After that I stretched for about 10-15 minutes as usual.
    The strength routine is as follows:
    Seated Row 3x20
    Assisted pull-ups 4x10
    Assisted dips 3x8
    Seated bicep curls 4x15
    Weighted abdominal crunches 3x15
    Push ups 4x10

    Total time: 1 hour 45 minutes

    Gym workout today. Two trainers combined groups and set up 3 different circuits with one minute high intensity cardio intervals between each 12 minute round. Bunch of different movements: TRX rows, med ball crunches, mountain climbers on sliding pads, chest press while lying on BOSU, split squats, etc. Cardio options included treadmill, assault bike, elliptical, rower, sled, etc. First time I've pushed the sled in a while. It hasn't gotten any easier. :)
