    Did 1.44 miles today on my walk including going up the steep hill next to my house to start out then walking all through one section of my neighborhood and back for a different view.

    Taking a recovery approach to this week. My wife and I are heading out for a 3 night camping trip at the beach. We're planning to do some cycling and kayaking as well as plenty of hanging around. I'm also going to continue learning to jump rope. That's been a big dose of humility so far, lol.

    My walk was 1.41 miles today and I felt pretty good through most of it. I noticed my left leg was a little more sore because that was the side with the driveways (which puts that foot at a weird angle every time I cross a driveway and the houses are close together here so lots of driveways right on top of each other) but it didn't bother me too much. I was lost in thought most of the time and didn't even realize I was almost home at the end.

    This marks two straight weeks of walking at least a mile every day. I'm thinking of adding some wall pushups. I used to try to do 5 every time I used the bathroom which can be quite a few, especially with my morning coffee, lol. But maybe a solid three times a day with ten wall push-ups each time. Just to add some upper body stuff.

    Swimming early this morning, 50m lanes, 1800m all as 100m repeats with lots of rest. Just adding up some meters to get reacquainted with the swim. Shortly after getting home, I used the elliptical for 15 minutes at an easy rate just to loosen up. I've been eager to get back to some kind of cycling but lately its either been too smokey or severe thunder storm warnings. So to stay inside, I went to the gym this afternoon and spun the pedals on a stationary bike for an hour. I've yet to get the cycling trainer set up in the basement again but soon.

    I went climbing yesterday. It was a pretty poor session, although it was good fun. I did flash a v4 slab, which was truly terrifying. (Most v4s I get are probably softly graded. This one actually felt quite hard; I made some good decisions en route.)

    I lifted today, doing:
    Hangboarding, quite light as I had an A4 pulley injury recently. (I ignored it, and it seems to have gone away.)
    Finger curls. Again light, I went to 40 kgs.
    Bench, light (notice a theme?), 49 kgs, 3 sets of 10.
    Squat, light, 60 kgs, 3 sets of 8.

    I have been slacking on the reports!

    Monday, 7/17, rowed a double with a guy I've never rowed double with before. Silly-big weight differential (he's 210, I'm 130), and the boat's rigged weird so I have to row bow (usually you'd put the heavier person in bow). It was a little rocky - literally! - at first, but we made some adjustments including foot position (the shoes are attached to the boat, but you can move them closer to stern or bow) . . . and it ended up fine.

    Yesterday, just a short and lovely meandering walk in a local garden with a friend.

    Today, 7/19, I rowed a double again with the same guy. Right after, I and another club member moved a bunch of boats/oars displaced when workers installed a French drain at the boathouse. (I think the robin that had been nesting in our oar rack was scared off, sadly!). Tonight, I volunteered at open rowing, but merely carried a few boats, and did a tiny row to demo/teach river turns for one of the new rowers. (River turn = back on one side, row on the other . . . but don't think of it that way because that overcomplicates things!).

    I did the early morning 15 minutes elliptical yesterday but got distracted (or lazy) and didn't do a planned run. There are other commitments later today so if any workouts were happening then I had to start early. That got me to the pool in time to use the 50m lanes again. 2100m in a few longer continuous swims. Then shower, change, home, a quick piece of fruit, and change again to run on the treadmill for 20 minutes. All done before 8:30.

    Went on a slightly longer walk today in another part of my neighborhood where there wasn't such a steep incline on the way home. Did 1.48 miles but my knee was bothering me the whole time. It was doing well for a while but now it's back to aching and creaking really loud. At least the smoke cleared sometime last night so I didn't have to worry about that.

    Slacking on the posts, but updates from the last few days:

    Tuesday - pilates class

    Wednesday - arm and core work at the gym, finished with 20 minutes on the bike

    Thursday - yoga

    Not been able to get my steps in as much as I'd like this week because of work, will try to do some extra at the weekend.

    Not scheduled to go to open row session, went anyway; rowed around 6k in bow of a double with one of our new learn-to-row guys (nice guy who's probably 1/3 my age :D ). He's rowing quite well for this stage, so I rowed in most of the time with him. (Usually I spend a lot of time setting up - i.e., stabilizing the boat - so the new person can row more without tippiness. He was doing well enough not to need that.)

    @mtaratoot - You post the best scenery pictures. Paddling and camping in that area must be a great getaway.

    Back home from a beach camping trip. Rode the bikes both days and did a nice kayaking trip on Long Island Sound yesterday. Got lucky with two sunny days in a row. Rain on us today during the ride home.

    Tomorrow, I'll join a small group of friends who are preparing for a HIM race on Labor Day. It's one of my favorite bike routes. The weather forecast calls for sunny skies. Will see.

    back/pull day.

    In order:

    5x5 barbell bent over rows (strength focused workout today).
    2x12 ez curl bar pullovers
    2x12 Standing staight bar pulldowns (lat isolation, getting too much activation of my triceps on the ez curl bar pullovers today)
    3x12 ez curl bar curls standing. Feels good to get in a cheat rep or 2 on the last set.

    das it.

    I'm sure you'll be super-surprised: I rowed this morning, bow of the double, usual distance. Pretty perfect day on the water.

    It'd been a while since I rowed double with this guy, so we did a certain amount of "just row", but we did throw in a few more intense power pieces. In between, we worked on some focused technical improvements, and each power piece was a little faster than the previous one, which was fun.

    ETA: @mtaratoot, I'm envious. Michigan has way too few mountains for best visuals. Yeah, we have things called "mountains" in the Northernmost peninsula (the "Porcupine Mountains"), but they're only called that in contrast to the flat extreme South of the state, I'm pretty sure. Your photos are excellent.

    Nothing yesterday as I was in a job interview/assessment all day, did get my steps in walking around London though.

    Boxing class today along with a trip to the dump with a very heavy door! And lots of cooking and cleaning so far just getting odd jobs done. Every little helps.

    Nothing but wind and rain here this afternoon (summer? What summer?!) So definitely indoor jobs for the rest of the day.

    Rode one of my favorite routes today under sunny skies and lower humidity. Four of us did a 55 mile out and back route with a loop at the top. We faced a stiff headwind on the way out, but the air was refreshing for a change. The big rains have left our rivers swollen, so we enjoyed lots of white water viewing for much of the ride. Rode at a 15.7 mph ave pace, which is a base building effort according to Garmin.

    Another coached row today, total around 9k. We had 3 singles, a double, and a quad in the group, with me in bow of the quad. There were several timed pieces, multiple practices of racing starts (most of them going into a timed piece), and one 2k piece.

    Two of the guys in singles are racing Canadian Henley in a couple of weeks, so they did the 2ks according to their race plan. Those of us in the other boats (race plan-less) just worked for a strong pace we thought we could sustain for the distance. We also did some one- and two-part pause drills, and a couple of different "cut the cake" drills.

    I have to say, steering - my job in bow - is more difficult and stressful when rowing faster, and with that many boats strung out across the width of a non-straight river, plus other more-beginner rowers out here and there in singles and a few fishing boats besides. My performance was sub-ideal, but we didn't hit anything, at least. Kinda close, though. 😬
