First day since last week that I can tolerate "hard" pants (anything but leggings and yoga pants) 🤣 Mostly just stiff today, so planning to take it easy with hopes that I can do a short, easy run tomorrow 🤞

Flying today (wish me well on that!) doing some stretching before getting on plane and will get a good walk in after I arrive. Wearing compression socks for the flight!

Yesterday: got in a half mile on the treadmill, then took a call from my DD so had to make a trip up to the HS with clothing; returned to the gym and decided to finish the run out of doors, nearly 2 miles, maybe 5.1 mph pace. Really felt the lack of full recovery since I ran Sat., not Friday.
Back to the gym in the evening with both daughters for 40 min. strength / conditioning, including 6 pull-ups with a strap and 10 push-ups, 20# medicine ball throws with pylometrics, that shoulder machine with a bar, lat raises and bicep curls, other exercises. Two sets each.
Today: 29 min. biking outdoors, glorious weather.

Yep, I'm truly in my routine annual Fall transition/Winter denial phase. We got early snow and cold here, just to underscore that. I'm hibernating to excess. It's temporary.
Only a couple of actual workouts lately, in addition to some physical therapy stuff.
Saturday, 33' of stationary bike, an imaginary 8.12 miles at 14.5 mph, about 40% of the time in each of zone 3 and 4, the remainder below.
Today, breast cancer survivors rowing team practice, machine rowing close to an hour total, not including stretching before and after, but including rests between rowing machine pieces.
This was an interesting workout: Power progressions (after a warm-up with stroke progressions, and a few minutes of steady state at 20 spm). We took our average power (in watts) from the steady state at the end of the warm-up, in which we were already trying to get reasonable power at the 20 spm. All the other pieces were also 20 spm.
It was a sequence of 1000, 750, 500 and 250 meters, rests between. The goal was to add 5 watts with every next piece, so each piece was shorter but harder than the previous. Since spm was held constant, this had to be done with technical changes in power application. (Rest times varied, because the faster rowers finished the distance of each piece sooner than the slower rowers. We'd then all start the next piece at the same time.)
After those pieces, we did an 8' cool down at steady state intensity and spm of choice. I started at 22spm for 2', then dropped about 2 spm at each 2' mark, making sure to drop HR sub-aerobic during the last minute.
Across the workout, I accumulated about 9' in zone 4, 15' in zone 3, and the remainder below.
Yesterday was my birthday: Turned 70. If eating delicious Indian food at a wonderful local restaurant were a sport, I may've PR-ed the event. 😆

Starting working on my cardio again. I'm not much of a runner, never have been, but timed my mile on the treadmill last week (more of a walk/run) but was 14:01. Today was down to 13:36. I'll try to get as close to a 10:00 mile as I can so we will see.
Also started working on calisthenics, trying to do a frog pose. Yikes! It's ugly. They say if you practice a few times a week you can get it in 30 days but I am NOT hopeful after the first two days trying!

Happy 70th!!! Your fitness level is inspiring!

Stationary bike, longer duration but no intensity. 😆
Rowing is usually pieces with short breaks between, not continuous. Winter bike, I like to ride for an hour straight at moderate intensity most times, aerobic base: This was this Fall's first 60' (plus 3' in the saved settings for a CD, which I didn't really need 😉). Because this was the first full hour, I kept it very easy.
Theoretically 15.26 miles at 14.4 mph; less theoretically 82W average for 63'. Around 5' zone 3 at the end primarily from HR creep, 50' zone 2, a little zone 1 at beginning and end to fill out the 63' total.

Today's workout is going to be a 6 mile run. I usually hit the treadmill before sunrise but today should be decent enough to get a run in outside.

Machine rowing, 3 x (2k on, 2' off/CD), back to my usual home routine of the 2' off bits being 5 strokes row-out, drink water/wipe sweat, row easy for the last minute-ish of the off. Last 2' is cool down.
Very slow rowing in pace terms on the 2k pieces, 2:39.5 per 500m average split, 19 spm average, an extremely modest 86W average. Still ended up as 80% of the time zone 3 HR 🙄😬.
Trying to break the stroke cycle down and work on the most basic basics, legs-body-arms drive, arms-body-legs recovery; keep my right shoulder down (it's malfunction-y). On the water, one of the coaches thinks I'm breaking my right arm (the side with the wonky shoulder) before the left arm, so I'm also thinking about keeping the arms matched.
I like Concept 2's force curve display for working on the stroke, pretty much leave the monitor there all the time, unless in a coached row where they require something different. For my birthday, I ordered a new monitor, the current PM5 model, for my RowErg. That came today, so I need to install it. Among other nice features, it will auto-log workouts in my Concept 2 logbook if I use the ErgData app on my phone to connect the monitor to the app when rowing.
Holiday Challenge starts next Thursday (eek!), so the new monitor should simplify logging that. Goal will be 200k row or 400k bike or proportionate combination between then and Christmas Eve. I usually do 6 days a week, alternate bike & row. Hoping I can finish it again this year.

Snuck in a short, easy-pace stationary bike ride this morning before a busy day, 33' again, 83W average, supposedly 8.06 miles at 14.4 mph, mostly zone 2 with a cumulative 7' here and there of lower zone 3 when I intermittently drifted over that boundary.
Because I was short on time, just to vex me, the bike wanted me to do a million-meter-boundary recalibration before the ride. I did, but that was Not Ideal first thing in the morning: Without any warm-up, pedaling to recalibration speed at the higher damper settings felt punitive. 😆
Later in the day, physical therapy session with some oddball hamstring/glute engagement and strength exercises.
I'm working on a workout plan for the early part of Winter, and currently trying to shift into "workouts aren't a decision, just something I automatically do 6 days a week" mindset in preparation.

Been getting into low impact aerobics on YouTube. I have a new favorite called Burpee Girl. Due to the name, I had a mat ready but the videos I've done are standing workouts. I aim for 10k steps a day and she'll get me there. I'm amazed at how she keeps a smile on the entire time. That's dedication lol. The only thing I'm not a fan of are the titles to some of her videos promising weight loss in x amount of time. Weight loss maybe... But you'll definitely feel good after.
