    Took a spin class this morning, the first one I've done in over a year. It kicked my butt. I needed that.

    Full body workout in the gym this morning, my usual split of 4 lower body/4 core/4 arm exercises. All the machines had been moved around in the gym so I was very confused for a while!

    Monday
    Climbing. A training session. I was terrible, but the session was fun

    Wednesday
    A new yoga place has opened near me, so I did an hour.

    Thursday
    Climbing. It was fun; I was in form. I got a load of new projects. I also got a 6b+ graded one, which is quite rare for me at this gym. It was an utterly terrifying slab.

    Saturday
    Climbing. Another very good session, with a mixture of successes on scary slab an thought overhangs. Some of them were grade v4, but I think they were easier than that.

    Sunday is meant to be horse riding day but pony is still a bit lame so we did 40 minutes of long lining instead. Then I went to the gym, warmed up with elliptical and then did a combo of machines and weights. Tried to focus more on core and arms today as will be cycling partway to work the next two days so thought I'd give lower body a rest.

    More rowing, bow of the quad for me, sharp breeze and temps in the 40F (maybe 5-6C). Kept the pace moderate, newer rower in the boat still learning some basic technique. We did some technical drills for things that were needing it.

    I was in a quad rowing shell on Saturday, but as a coxswain for the club's Fall color row. The only workout was lungs/vocal cords, because we don't have a cox box (amplification system for coxswain's calls). Gotta yell, sitting at one end of a 44-foot (13.4m) boat, so all 4 rowers can hear. (No, we don't say "stroke, stroke, stroke' :D . Like not ever.)

    Cardio: Elliptical, one hour, hills - 812 calories

    Lifting:
    Bench Press 5x5 (Last set 10 reps)
    Cable Row 5x5

    Left elbow's sore, and my schedule is still wonky, but should return to normal in just a couple weeks. So I'm laying off lifting for a couple weeks, only getting a bare minimum amount to maintain where I'm at.

    Had an active day today. Started by pulling 4 old room air conditioners and some other stuff out of the cellar to donate and/or throw out. Then moved outside for the first round of leaf blowing followed by mowing the lawn. Sunny and mild today, so after the chores I got out for a quick ride. 16 miles in 58 minutes, or just over 16mph.

    I got a cold. I decided to recover by having a three hour climbing session on Monday. It was fun; I was reasonably powerful. I found a bathang from a kneebar in a cave. I didn't really need to rest at that point; but I was so comfortable I hanged upside down for a good while.

    Today. I did an hour's yoga.

    Big surprise, rowed again, bow of the quad. Carried a few boats at open rowing tonight (as volunteer supervisor) but didn't row myself.

    We're running out of rowing weather here in the North. ☹️

    Did a workout with my 7th grade son.

    I did 3 warmup sets on squat (including one significantly heavier than my working set).

    Then I did one working super set of leg extensions to failure immediately into a set of squats.

    Then I did 3x12 of extensions and seated leg curls .


    Kiddo’s workout was as follows:
    3x10 barbell backsquats
    3x10 dumbbell bench press
    3x10 dumbbell should press
    3x10 Pendlay rows
    3x10 palms facing pull downs

    Nice work, but man--if we have to give our age AND weight on this thread, I'm out!

    I got in the usual walk with my dog, then biked to work and back. (About 25 minutes--faster going because it is mostly downhill.)

    Gym today for full body workout. Struggled through for some reason, have had past two days off so no clue why.

    30 minute walk after lunch too.

    Short gym workout and then went to boxing class. Usual instructor wasn't there today so we had a taekwondo instructor instead and have to say I really enjoyed it! Something very satisfying about it, may have to look into that a little more...

    Spin class this morning. I wasn't crazy about the rapid standing/sitting transitions during class today, but there's no question that the workout pushed me a bit.

    Looking forward to an outdoor group ride tomorrow. It's been advertised as a social paced ride, but I know better, lol.

    Dragged myself again to the gym today for 22 min. on the elliptical. Hate that I'm off my routine of regular workouts.

    Rowing rained out (with cool temps and unfavorable wind besides) yesterday and today. I previously mentioned running out of season: This would be the start of that slippery slope.

    I assume I'll go through my usual denial/doldrums phase again this year and skip some workouts for a while, but I'm working on attitude adjustment.

    It's some time since I've biked even outdoors, but I got on the stationary bike this evening for a mere half hour (plus 3' CD), around 7.8 pseudo-miles, to try to start gradually phasing in some Winter routine. :| Mostly Z2/Z3, a little Z4.

    I'm much more willing to freely give my age (67) and weight (133 pounds this AM) than to admit how sub-par my exercise activity has been lately, but I'm admitting it anyway. :D

    Demographics optional, though, AFAIK. ;)

    Onward.

    Spin class this morning, 20k completed and really pushed as hard as I could muster!

    Then went to see my horse, rode for an hour but only in walk as he's recovering from lameness.

    Legs and hips are definitely feeling it this evening!

    Disc golf.

    It was a slow 3.5 mile "walk" (hike) on a course on private property out in the Coast Range called Blodgett Woods. The property is owned by a friend of a friend, and I've been encouraged for quite a while to go out there. I finally did. Gorgeous day, and I didn't lose any discs. Pretty difficult course. Very tight fairways, and lots of hills. We had five people, so we could always have a spotter for holes where it's easy to lose discs. I'll go back again. I might even start playing more in general. I haven't played a round of disc golf all year, and I only even threw an Ultimate disc a couple times over the past year - once in Redwall Cavern down in Grand Canyon and one morning at Oregon Country Fair I joined a few folks hucking a disc before the fair opened to the public. I might just go play the local course a mile and a half from my house tomorrow.
