    This morning, virtually no wind, and we had enough people for a quad, so we rowed despite the 40F/4C air temp and 43F/6C water temp. A double was out with us, but we kept them in sight throughout just in case. I rowed 3 seat, we did just under 7k as usual, for me about 1/3 of it zone 3, 26 seconds zone 4 😆, remainder below.

    Looking out over the next week or so, the forecasts look unpromising (either unpleasant or unsafe) for rowing. I'm probably going to end the regular 4x a week morning rowing; we might do a random day yet this season if we get a stretch of more favorable weather.

    Off to do some kettle ball weightlifting at the gym, then take the dogs for a walk.

    I got a couple shorter runs in last week, and did a 6 mile "long" run yesterday - it wasn't hot, and it wasn't double digits, which means I didn't know what to wear or if I needed water or fuel 😅 The post-marathon training confusion was on full blast.

    I'm traveling for work for a few days this week, so I'll try to get a couple 5k runs knocked out while I'm away, then get back to a more balanced strength/running routine once I get back.

    For some reason, I picture cute cartoon animals joining you while you sing and clean the place. Definitely a Disney memory of decades gone by.

    Today was a great kick off November workout. I walked back/forth from the gym; 10 minute treadmill; assisted pull-ups, tricep pushdowns; zottman curls; preacher curls; lat pull down; and some other "that looks fun, let me try that exercises."

    @BigDfromNJ what fun cardio. Too many people think cardio needs to be labor intensive and unenjoyable.

    Cardio (Warmup): Treadmill Jog, 20 min

    Strength (Upper 1):

    DB Bench Press «superset» DB Row 4x10
    Incline Cable Fly «superset» Machine High Row 3x15
    Cable Lateral Raise «superset» Cable Rear Lateral Raise 3x15

    Abs:

    Cable Woodchoppers 2x10 «superset» Cable Palloff Press 2x10 sec

    Felt wonderful to be back in the gym again! That week off was just what the doctor ordered; my back is back to normal, lots of energy today. Only complaint was my new routine trying to keep the entire workout to 60 minutes meant cutting off half my lifting day; felt like I was just finished warming up before it was over!

    Last night, I sent out then email - to 29 of my best rowing buddies 😉 - saying that our regular 4x a week morning rowing schedule is done for 2025. The water was down to 43F on Saturday, and weather looks very unfavorable the next couple of weeks. Boo.

    Today, I did another short stationary bike ride, 33 minutes, low intensity. Bike claims 7.6 miles averaging 14.6 mph, 80W average.

    Since I was going to be puttering around home all day, I also tried an experiment. I've been saving up instructions for quite a few short stretching, mobility, or rehab exercises for various body parts, some of which parts are starting to vex me on repeat.

    I picked a body part: For today, shoulders. After breakfast, I set a timer on my watch for an hour. When the timer went off, I did a few repeats of one or two of the exercises, then set the timer for another hour. When it went off, I did a couple of different exercises, and reset the timer. Repeat for 5-6 rounds. It was kind of fun, felt nice. May do again, varying body parts.

    The weather was gorgeous, so I ran 5K outside in just under 34 min, very close to race pace.

    However, my 17yo nephew ran a 5K for his school in 17 min, 20sec. this weekend. I'm so proud!

    Went to the gym tonight with my daughter and her friend for 28 min strength and conditioning -- all arms focused.

    A 5 mile bike ride at first light (27 min.); 5 miles on the exercise bike at the gym this afternoon (22 min); 4 min. Helix; 15 or so min. stretching on the mat; 25 min. outdoor walking at various points throughout the day. Beautiful weather — it felt so great to be out on my bike again after last week's cold and rain.

    Breast cancer survivors rowing team practice, indoors now for Winter because it's too dark in the evening when we meet.

    We did some dynamic stretching before and static after; the machine rowing was about 15 minutes of warm-up interspersing stroke progressions and pause drills with regular rowing, then 5 x (5:30 on, 4' rest) with the 5th repeat a slow pace for cool-down. For me, the actual rowing a mix of zones 2 through 4.

    This morning's workout was mostly arms. I walked to/from the gym, but skipped the treadmill. Besides the usual tricep pushdown, preacher curls, pull-ups, etc; I saw someone doing something different. She showed me how to do this new exercise. I don't know what it was called, but it was like a tricep pushdown but with a different bar.
