Do you even lift bro?

I've been working out all summer.  I will bike to the gym, work out, and bike home.  School started up again so I can't pull that off, but I hope to at least keep up 3 times a week at the gym.

Nice. That's the life.


I think I'm finally getting back into things. I set my first post surgery personal record, a 5k in 26:57. It has been so hard though rebuilding the momentum.

It was.  
I think 25 minutes is the best I ever did for 5k.

so my current workout is a mixture of strength, cardio, balance, and flexibility.   ..but it's pretty heavy on strength.  even though different work outs focus on different areas it can still be hard to do them 4-5 days in a row.   plus i decided that my current routine never really does sustained cardio.  it's always in 20, 30, 60 second bursts.   

Anyways, last week i did a run in place of a normal workout.   there is a park no so far away that has a loop that is 0.7 miles around in a nice area.  natural fields and forests.  it's exactly 1.5 miles to get there so i'll have a lot of flexibility on how long of a run i want.   3+0.7x miles.  

last week i did just the 3 miles.  i didn't want to overdue it on my first run and my main goal was just to not stop (walk) too many times.   i did the entire 3 miles without stops.   i started pretty slow and at the half way mark i even picked it up a step because i didn't feel like i was pushing myself hard enough.  i didn't time myself but i did the 3 miles in the 30-35 min range.

today my target was 3.7 miles.   i started my run at the higher pace too.  i did not make it.  i had to stop after 2.8 miles.   but this time i timed myself and i did those 2.8 miles in 27'30".  nothing to brag about but i feel pretty good about that for my second run ever.

I need to start doing some running. I love rowing on a concept2 rowErg though. Tried to do that 5 to 6 days a week and then a few strength training days as well

Hey that's pretty good! Great that you're getting into running.

If you already row 5–6 days a week, I'd say just replace one or two rowing sessions with running instead of adding more. That way you don't overload your joints all at once. Rowing fitness transfers well to running, but your legs and ankles need time to adjust

Been slacking off the past month.  Past couple weeks were intentional though. Was sick with a cold last week, and the week before that wasn't sleeping well and everything was hurting. 

Trying to get back into it.  Was especially difficult this morning.

No problem to slack off, just as long as you find your way back.

But I'm slacking today and tomorrow. Making nachos.
