    I actually didn't go climbing on Wednesday; I ended up jumping up and down at a punk rock gig in East London. It was fun.

    27 min exercise bike; 20 min strength; stretches. 20 min walking outside.

    A loose dog in the neighborhood ran up and attacked my old dog this morning on our walk. She's okay but it was upsetting.

    Back to stationary bike today, straight back to 60' plus 3' cool-down (we'll see if that was wise after a break), 97W average, Garmin thinks 60% zone 3 and the remainder below, 16.2 pseudo-miles at 15.2 mph.

    Same as above, except today it was about 1.85-1.90 mi. Surprised at the improvement, even with going at a slow pace.

    Short rowing machine warm-up (around 5', 1k), then Bulletproof Knees class. The usual targeted stretching and strength stuff, mostly. Adding weight to squats, but still just medicine ball or kettlebell.

    Funny (to me) moment: Instructor didn't want me to do step-downs with the others because I'd been grimacing (yeah, they hurt to do, but didn't seem to hurt after, so I was OK with doing them). He had me try something like single-leg TRX-assisted box squats, but that was a big "no" from me - not just more pain, but also worrying instability. The funny part: Instead, he finally had me do multiple rounds of 30" wall sits, but didn't like it that I wasn't shaking, so added weight and made me keep going with repeats until my legs finally shook. 😆

    I did a little more machine rowing after class, mainly helping the class instructor improve his machine rowing technique. He'd been doing Orange Theory classes - which have lots of rowing but in some places don't teach it well. He was having trouble getting back up the slide without pulling against the foot straps, for one example.

    Ideally, I'd do more, but only got a couple of hours sleep last night, so I'm feeling pretty drained. Among other things, the mystery "water dripping" noise that's awakened me a few times and tends to keep me awake worrying about what's leaking . . . turned out to be my neighbor's girlfriend's dog, because its annoyed-to-be-outside-alone bark, muffled by closed windows, turns out to sound like water dripping. 🤣 Yes, really.

    I'm out of town visiting my folks, so I went for an early morning walk around the neighborhood.

    Yesterday's was a 38 min treadmill run. I wanted to go for 40 min but not enough sleep affected my energy (storms overnight). Also 10 min walking, then stretching.

    Today is a rest day. Happy Easter!

    Upper Body, BB Day

    Bench Press 5x5
    BB Row 5x5
    Incline Bench Press 3x10
    Pullups 3xAMRAP
    BB Shrugs 3x10
    Seated BB OHP 3x10
    Preacher Curl 4x10,15,20,25
    Cable Pushdown 4x10,15,20,25
    Cable Woodchopper 2x10 «alternate with» Palloff Press 2x10s

    Happy International Bench Press Day! (Also known as every single Monday throughout the year.) Lifters were really out in force today at my gym, with one guy doing sets of 10 using 315 (I can't even do that once), and another guy (only slightly bigger than me) lifting 405 for doubles. Then there was me, nowhere near those numbers. What can you do but be motivated and humbled at the same time? I was slightly less impressed by the 405 guy an hour later, as I was finishing up my entire routine and he was still on the same bench press station, doing one set every five minutes, hogging a bench for over an hour on a Monday. Made me think he was something of a one-trick pony.

    Today's workout: 3 x 15 minutes jogging on the treadmill with 5 minutes brisk walking in between. Then stretching and the Helix for 3 minutes and an 8 min or so walk back to my car (also a walk to the gym).

    Today: 25 minutes on the exercise bike, then 20 minutes strength training. Also 20 min stretches.

    I tried some new things today, like hanging from the chin ups bar for 20 and 35 seconds (I'm lighter than the last time I attempted that three months ago!) and with my hands, tapping the floor behind me while kneeling on a mat. Can't remember what that's called.

    Rowing team practice, lovely evening out in the barge on the river. My old rowing-double partner M and I sat stroke, the seats at the back of the boat that all the other rowers can see and that set the cadence. There are two stroke rowers in the barge because it's a giant rectangular thing about the size of my living room, two rowers abreast, one port and one starboard; plus there's a raised platform between the two rows of rowers that the coaches can walk up and down to help individual rowers with corrections.

    Again, we mostly did basic things to integrate the newest rowers into the activity, plus refresh the skills for a few rowers who haven't rowed much at all in the several years the team was on hiatus. A few, like me, have been rowing steadily at the local club the whole time - total of about 22 years steady in my case - but mostly sculling, not sweep.

    We did some stroke progressions, some pause drills, then a bunch of repeats of a few strokes with a pause between, starting with 2 strokes then pause, working up to 10 strokes then pause.

    It was fun.

    Wednesday
    Climbing, decent session.

    Thursday
    Swimming, 1km

    Friday
    Gentle caving. The scariest bit was walking down the centre of a stream (outside) to find an obscure, little cave I realised I had lost my car keys. They were in the water, 5 minutes upstream.

    Saturday
    Caving. Good fun; a slightly bigger trip (around 7 hours) to a little visited passage in the UK's second biggest cave.

    Sunday
    Caving, a gentle bimble. I led some beginners, and didn't even get lost.

    Monday
    No-one wanted to cave. All the youngsters said they were broken. As a doctor, I told them all they were fine and the best way of fixing aches was to cave more. They didn't believe me.

    So I went climbing in the evening when I got back to London. 3.5 how session. I was rubbish.

    Me on a climb on Sunday.
