Exercise club

A few minutes skipping as warm-up then core and chest workouts.

1.5 miles run. Yes, run. 1.5 miles. Followed by bicep and shoulder curls and a little core work (improvised wall plank and side planks).

Yesterday was triceps and a little core, plus 20 min. of skipping rope. I'm not going to put planks at the end of arm workouts anymore.

Did the walk around town, trips to the post office, truck stop and all. About 30 minutes.

Yesterday was my weekly, more complete core work. I came to the last page of my little notebook where I record date and type of workouts, so it was bittersweet.

Yay!, that's brilliant Avid!

Today was a 4 miler run-walk. Got outside before the heat. : )

Just finished night walk to total 12000 steps walked today.

I did get in 30 minutes on the rower here today.

Good luck today.

Managed to run about 5k this morning. I went out while it was still below 21ºC, so, not too bad.

Well done @seabird 🏃🏃🏃

Did my 2 miles run. Walked to the edge of the woods and set off. Felt like hard work as there were some little hills and it was quite warm, and I'd been feeling really fatigued mentally as the afternoon wore on. Decided to turn back part way through the woods, and run all the way back home to make up the 2 miles. I crested the hill again just as I clocked mile 1, and then something let loose in me, part of the second mile was uphill but that didn't deter me, I got to the top then broke onto the streets and everything melted away. I was breathing hard and finally not thinking about anything at all except surviving the next breath and the next step. As the watch clocked 2 miles I sensibly stopped, gasping, and walked the little distance back to the house. Then did some bicep and shoulder curls and a bit of core work. I did the second mile in 11 minutes and hit 9.27 minute per mile pace, likely a bit quick for a 3rd or 4th run back....

I had no niggles at all during the run and the original nerve issue has stayed quiet. Less fortunately, I seem to have irritated my left knee which is now protesting, so am hoping it's just grumbling from being expected to bear impact again and not some stupid new injury that will swiftly undo all the progress I have made.

That's great @AvidFan. I hope the knee pain is going to go away. How old are your runners?

It's not terrible, likely just from overdoing the pace on muscles that have deconditioned so the load annoyed it. Runners are only 100 miles in or so, so they should still be fine for a while yet.
