    @Djproulx -- that trip sounds wonderful! Glad you got to unwind!

    Just two days of easy steady state cardio for me -- yesterday and today after my hard workout on Monday. Neck is feeling much, much better. Feeling like myself again.

    Tuesday
    Climbing. 2 hours. I was a bit disappointed in the session. I guess it wasn't bad; I got two new v4s and vast horde of v3s. It was all really hard, I didn't flash anything; one the v4s took about 20 goes. This one was about 10 moves, which is long by my bouldering standards.

    Thursday
    Climbing.
    2.75 hours
    Again, my flashing skills were poor. However. I did get 3 new 6B routes. One took me about 20 goes; I fell off the top a lot. (The top wasn't hard, but it was also very long. So I was always pumped when I got there.) Good fun.

    My slab climbing seems to be pretty strong at the moment. Another new route only had about 3 holds, but in my previous 7 sessions I couldn't work out how to start it. (I was trying to dyno ti a poor thumb catch; by shifting my feet against the volume I could do the move slowly.)

    Doing the usual stuff, haven't posted.

    Monday: Stationary bike, an hour plus cool down, 100W average, 16.4 pseudo miles, Z2/Z3. PT shoulder exercises.

    Tuesday: Rowing machine, 5,329 meters, 2:24.0 average pace on the pieces, Z2-Z4. Stationary bike, hour plus cool down, 91W average, 15.8 imaginary miles, Z2. PT exercises.

    Wednesday: Physical therapy appointment, very strength-y. Stationary bike, hour plus CD, 93W average, 15.1 miles, forgot to start Garmin but I'd bet on Z2. PT exercises.

    Thursday: Rowing machine, 5,365 meters, 2:29.8 average pace on the pieces, Z3. Walked with a friend, just over 2 miles at 2.9mph. Intentionally extra easy stationary bike (fueled with enchiladas and sangria again!), hour plus CD, 85W average, 15.4 miles, Z2. PT exercises yet to come, before bed.

    Not sure I'll get in a workout tomorrow: Complicated schedule.

    Did a quick 6 X 5 minute hard interval cardio session yesterday (one minute rest) -- my new favorite if I can't row -- I row on my deck and the winds were like 30 MPH yesterday. No way I'm rowing in that wind. Did first two intervals on treadmill, next on LateralX and last two on Assault Bike. Gradual HR climb from first set at around 80% max to last one at 92% max.

    I have a handyman coming today. Hope to get a lift in and a steady state cardio session at lunch. We'll see, will have to play it by ear.

    Did an early morning workout with my trainer yesterday, then an evening ride on Zwift with some Tri club friends. The 60 minute ride wasn't too bad, since we chatted about upcoming races to pass the time.
    Hit the pool today for a short swim of 1400 yds. Swim fitness is returning slowly. A couple more weeks of easy sessions and I'll be ready to build volume.
    Weekend weather looks iffy, so it may be indoor workouts.

    Handyman came and went in time for me to get my lunch hour 60 minute cardio session in. I did have to shorten my lift from five sets to four, but that's fine. Not a terrible disruption from my routine!

    You know you got the workout bug when the first thing that ever comes to mind when scheduling something is, "will it interfere with me getting a workout in??".

    I agree. I make most of my appointments, on my days off, for the afternoon so I can do my elliptical upon waking up.

    Stationary bike again (of course) . . . another one of those times when the surprise isn't that it's a great workout (because it wasn't: 64 minutes, 82W average, 15.3 pseudo miles, nearly all Z2) . . . but that it happened at all, starting at 9:40PM, after a very busy day, so I was already kinda dragging.

    Concept 2 Mud Season Madness Challenge completed as of yesterday, 5000m RowErg or 10,000m BikeErg (or a combination) on at least 25 of the 31 days in March. Still on an MFP team that's in the 3/15-4/15 World Erg Challenge. (We're not distinguishing ourselves big time, but doing OK for a tiny team.) I'm not very into team challenges, but I don't think I'm dragging the team down currently, so that's OK.

    Winter(-ish) will end . . . soon, I hope - so I can do funner stuff, not so much use schedules, challenges, etc., to stay active and engaged. :D

    Climbing. I went to Vaux East, my first time there in a while. It was a bonkers good session. I got 3 v4s and a shed load of v3s.

    It was a long session, just under 3 hours. I was doing a v3 overhang at the end on the highest wall, with the crux at the top. I fell embarrassingly three times, and then decided to do easier stuff.

    I waited most of the day for the rain to stop, so I wouldn't have to do an indoor bike workout. The weather improved around 2pm, so I saddled up and managed to squeeze in 27 miles at a 16.6mph pace. It was really very pleasant today.

    Swim and run on the schedule for tomorrow.

    Sticking with the plan, 3 x 1500m machine row, total 5,389m. 113W average, 2.25.8 split, 21spm on the 1500s; then 63 minutes stationary bike easy pace, 85W, an alleged 15.4 miles. Still need to do PT shoulder exercises. Rest day tomorrow (that I almost shifted to today, but no).

    Started with a 1000 yard recovery swim, then an 80 minute trail run this morning. This was the first week of a training build to an Olympic distance race in June. This past week consisted of 3 swims, 2 bikes, 2 runs and 2 strength sessions.

    I plan to stick to a 6 day/week plan. Swim and run distances are modest at this point, as I refocus on weight loss before doing any real volume work. My bike fitness has remained fairly solid over the winter, so I'm not too worried about that discipline.

    I did a hike. It was really nice. Fitbit reckons it was just over 12 miles with a little over 2,000 feet ascent.

    The biggest hill takes about 20 minutes to go up. I'm not particularly fast downhill, but up hill I tend to be alright. Someone actually overtook me up this hill, which is fairly unusual. (He was a fell runner, though.)

    Woke up yesterday all excited for the week to come, as I'd get to step back into the weight room for the first time in 4 months! AND I was scheduled to work swing shifts (2-10pm), meaning I didn't have to wake up at the crack of dawn to get my workout in.

    But went to bed rather dejected, because a coworker had come down with Covid (he's young and healthy, he'll be fine) meaning I had to take his shifts...his MID shifts (10pm-6am). In the past, I refused to lift when working mids for fear of dropping weights on my head when tired. Bummer.

    But this morning I woke up and decided, heck with that, I took last week off from the gym, the recovery program I found is light enough, I'm gonna lift anyway. And my first "workout" proved it won't be a problem, as the entire thing took only 15 minutes and wouldn't even qualify as a proper warmup before my layoff. Yes, things will ramp up in the weeks to come, but this first round was basically a joke.

    BUT it was still lifting, so yay! It's designed to reintroduce lifting gradually, waking up dormant muscles and joints to the idea of lifting while preventing crippling DOMS. Good news is my elbow and grip felt great, zero pain. True, I didn't work back and pull anything, but still. My legs felt strong, like I never took time off, on account of using them doing cardio.

    Did my lift this morning and then my first of two timed rows (machine rows) I have to do for the month for my indoor rowing club. This one seemed easy on the face but was sneaky hard. It was 700m, 70 seconds rest, 600 meters/60 seconds rest, all the way down to 100 meters. Others have said it's a good indication of where your 2K time is at (it's around 2 seconds faster pace), so this was a 1:59 average pace for me after a lift. That means I'm right around an 8 minute 2K. I'd like to get at least a few seconds faster on pace to get back in the 7:50s for a 2K by the end of the year.

    Machine row, like recent usual, 3 x (1500m on, 2' row out/in or CD) for a total of 5,385m, averaging 2:24.2 pace at 20spm on the 1500m pieces, about half Z3, 5' Z4, remainder Z2 and below

    Then stationary bike, also usual, 63' at 86W average, supposedly 15.4 miles, virtually all Z2.

    Still doing physical therapy exercises, too - pain/discomfort almost entirely gone.

    Joke? Nah. On-ramp. Without on-ramps, there can be no highways. 😉

    Oh, c'mon, @nossmf: Cardio only burns up your muscles and makes you skinny fat. All the bros say so! 😉🤣🤣🤣

    Glad you're getting back into the routine you love, and pain free. Good stuff!

    Monday: 20ish minutes on a stationary bike, assisted pull-ups, hammer-stength row & chest press, core superset of plank + dead bugs, 30 secs each. The core superset used to be easy for me but I've neglected core for a while so I'll have to rectify that.

    Spring temperatures and a light breeze today, so two of us got outside to ride. We went for 23 miles in 1:24:00, a 16mph pace. We climbed a few hills and enjoyed riding through the woods. The spring peepers were out in force, making quite a pleasant din whenever we rode by a pond or vernal pool.
