    29 min. walk with my dog this morning. Colder than expected, so two of those minutes were jogging.

    Thursday
    Climbing, 2.5 hours.
    Good fun, I got a couple of projects.

    The most fun one was thuggy v4 overhang, going from a cave to a less steep wall. The crux took me about 30 minutes to work out.

    I needed to heel hook the left foot, which let me get enough momentum for a big hand move. I cut loose with the foot immediately, which generated momentum for the next hold (which was also far away).

    Good news from the neurosurgeon today: The aftermath of the brain bleed has healed enough that I can do whatever activities/intensities I wish, . . .
    I'm glad for this great report @AnnPT77.

    And I have one of my own: today's colonoscopy was clear. This is the one year anniversary of their finding a malignant tumor during my first ever scope--so very relieved that the news today was positive.

    I am so happy for you, @DiscusTank5! The anxiousness awaiting those early post-treatment tests is challenging, and the good result such a relief. Hooray!

    Back to stationary bike, still keeping things moderately moderate ;) , but energy level pretty good, all things considered. Average watts up a tiny bit to 84, average HR down to 124 even though peak was up a couple points (mostly from a little push near the end); only 34% Z3, mostly Z2. 19,165 imaginary meters in 51 minutes.

    Thinking I'll get the 28k more I want by the end of Christmas Eve, as long as no big bad surprises trip me up.

    19k steps around Dollywood, including plenty of stairs up to Rollercoasters.

    I did upper body today, it was however not a great workout. I just felt really tired today and had a hard time pushing myself like I usually do.
    Chest Press, shoulder press, skullcrusher, bicep curl, lat pulldown, lat raises, bentover row.
    I also had to do my physio exercises.

    @showpoodlegirl, you may not have felt it was a productive workout. But a lousy workout is still better than giving up and doing nothing!

    Of course, I say that while I'm at the start of a week-long no-workout break myself, but that's different: I schedule one week every few months to do nothing but relax, let the body heal. Listen to your own body: if the fatigue becomes frequent, that might be your body saying it needs a short break as well.

    Supposed to be a rowing machine day, but I felt very fatigue-y even after a nap - I never nap! - so back to the bike, at a very easy pace again.

    Back to nothing above Z2, 75W average for the 18k + 3' CD (that wasn't really a cooldown because why cool down from intensity that low?), around 53' total, bike fancifully imagines this was about 14mph average.

    Hoping to have more energy tomorrow.

    Today was leg day (hip thrust, squat, RDL, bulgarian, abduction, adduction) but let me tell you that it sucked. THe last couple days I have been really tired for some reason and I barely finished my workout and most exercises I either did less reps or less weight than previous. I yawned the entire workout.
    I also did my physio exercises.
    I've been back to the gym for almost 4 months now and I've never had such tired workouts as I did the last couple days. Hoping a break over the weekend and I'm back feeling good for next week.

    "Yawned the entire workout"??? I have had workouts where I felt fatigued and low on energy before, but never once have I yawned during one! That's not a sign of workout fatigue, that's simply not enough sleep!

    Still dragging today, so bike again, the usual recent format, a little bit more peppy pace than yesterday, but not much: 82W or allegedly 14.4mph.

    Scheduled rest day tomorrow, one more day of row or bike to finish the holiday challenge after that, then probably cut down the schedule for a while, either fewer days or less time/meters, and work in more rest.
