A brick workout this morning:
20 min pool swim, 600 meters, then a 30 min outdoor run, including a flight of 100 stairs. Not sure how far I went because my watch didn't start when I meant for it to.

Treadmill - 1 hr, 12% incline, 3.0 mph
I've decided to move leg day from Wednesday back to Saturday, for a few reasons. First is wanting to soak in the hot tub after, which I cannot do on Wednesday's now that my commute is back to the long version. In addition, I think my CNS was starting to object to doing heavy lifting on three consecutive days, something I used to do fine with but have to admit I'm getting older and need more time to recover. My legs were remaining sore for days after, it was impacting my cardio performance in the gym and comfort at the office. At least on Saturdays I can soak, then either active-recovery through walking or stretch my legs out at home while watching TV with my wife, rather than sit cramped during long commutes or bent in an office chair.

I went climbing. It was a relatively quick session, at 2 hours. I was good; I go four v4s including a flash. I got near the top of a v5, but was too scared to get the final move.

A rest day, but . . .
I walked across campus from my car to the gym (and back), & got in a 20 min strength workout:
2 sets 30 sec dead hangs, 12 reps bicep curls, 15 incline bench sit-ups, 15 heel lifted squats with a 10 lb kettlebell, lat raises (5 with 15# and 10 with 10# weights), 8-10 tricep pulls w/ a resistance band from a push-up position, sets of walking lunges interspersed throughout. One set lateral bounds.
And also 36 min treading water/ jogging in place in the pool with my son this evening, zone 1 the whole time.

My bike ride this morning was interrupted by a flat tire. Lots of rock and gravel in the roads after last night's storm and flash flooding. I was able to walk it to my coffee shop and am currently waiting for the nearby bike shop to open. "Learning to fix a bike flat" is now on my to do list. I would have had to carry all the materials with me, though, so maybe it wouldn't have helped.

The tools are small. They fit easily in a small bag on the back of your saddle. You will, of course, also need a pump.
Many years ago, I came out to my bike after work and saw I had a flat. No problem; I had tire levers, a tube patch kit, and the tools I needed to remove the rear wheel from my belt bike. Alas - I had no pump! I walked my bike home. It is only about three miles. It would have taken longer to go find a bus stop. I lobbied the Active Transportation program to buy a pump for employees to use. We used to have one…. He got two of them and left them in two different parts of the compound. I now carry a small frame-mounted pump on all my bikes. I use a floor pump most of the time; those small pumps have a limited number of pumps before they stop working well. They are just for emergency flat repair.

Good to know! We have a pump at home but it wouldn't fit on my bike or in a small bag either. Must investigate a small pump option.

Turns out a flash flood warning was still in place for my county this morning while I was out riding. No emergency notification except last night's, which expired at 2:45 am.
But all's well that ends well. The bike shop changed out the tire and I got in a 13 mile ride of sorts (11 mph pace rather than 12). Had to walk my bike over some non-drivable road sections near the lake before the flat occurred. I turned around at one point because of swiftly flowing, if shallow water over the road. I watched a car navigate it and decided "heck no!".
