Gorgeous day.  Definitely feeling some global fatigue just d/t how busy my week has been with less sleep than usual and work stress.  This went well though, just overall tough.  The jog in the sun felt amazing.  The best thing was I had massage at the chiropractor's office after, was really great.  Thanks!

I don't have a rope so I looped my dogs leash over the pull up bar and used that for the rope pull ups, worked well.  Not my best HS walk day, did a few 10 foot walks and worked shoulder taps and freestanding holds.  Thanks!

Step overs were tough mostly do to the awkward burden of the sandbag.  Managed each set unbroken though.  Banded donkey kicks were cool, tough.  I couldn't manage 45 seconds unbroken on the GHD hollow body hold, had to split it up.  Side plank x1 minute is a good challenge, definitely felt it.  Everything else went well.  Thanks!

Done x3/leg x5


I did this one tonight because I think I'll be able to squeeze in everything, even maybe the swim workout this week.  Complex went well, barely made the last hang power clean at 120, definitely starfished.  Legs took awhile to warm up on the bike after the weekend and felt pretty shaky when I was done with the bike.  The first set of squats was heavy even though it wasn't much weight.  Feeling good.  Thanks!

January 27, 2019

Daily score: 6 (sore low back, legs feel great though)

Workout:

Mountain biking, 10 miles, 2000 feet elevation gain, 2 hours

Snow shoeing, 2 hours easy

I had a swim and a gym workout but it is so rare to get this weather in January and not be working that it seem more prudent to take the opportunity to ride outside again.  I HATE missing programming you write, but this just seemed like the right thing to do.  I took my dog snowshoeing so he could play in the snow and then hit the mountain bike trail on the way home.  I could feel my low back on the climb again.  It probably just needs some time to get used to the position again.  Thanks!

Daily score: 8

Workout:

Outdoor day- mountain biking

Sandy Ridge x2, 20 miles, 4000 feet elevation gain, around 4 hours

We had a strange break in the weather, nice and dry and warm for a few days.  So got out on the mountain bike trails!  This is a trail I have only ever rode one lap so two was a cool accomplishment.  However, it is still only one fifth of the race, about one third of the elevation gain for the race though.  The race is 100 miles and 11000 feel elevation gain.  I had a few issues.  First ascent my low back got pretty tight, second ascent it was pretty uncomfortable.  Could just be that I haven't been on the bike in two months and was trying to push the pace.  If it keeps happening, I'll work on trying to find a better position on the bike.  It's just the muscles, nothing else.  Also, on the second climb I felt low on fuel.  I think I started snacking too late.  This was a great experience though, so happy to start practicing it now.  Thanks!

Daily score: 7

Workout:

90 minutes on bike trainer practicing nutrition/hydration

Sadly, I got stuck at work until nearly 11pm doing an emergency and had to miss this.  But it all worked out because I got some good outdoor riding in over the weekend as well as some time to practice with some new homemade trail snacks.  Thanks!
