I went to the gym and did 5/3/1 bench and shoulder press. I decided not to swim to give my head and shoulders a little bit of a break!
It so warm right now that I did my afternoon ruck with only a sweatshirt. Seeing people out running in shorts really makes me want to run!!!
Friday!! This morning I did the next Out in the Open workout- Stonewalling. The workout looked awesome, I was just bummed I had to modify the workout again. I had signed up for the Performance division and couldn’t do either movement!
It was wall walks and single unders! I was able to do the inchworms and mountain climbers in the Movement Division standards. Still a good workout!
Then I actually had a doctors appointment to check in about my concussion recovery. The doctor is a runner and totally understood my frustration about still not being able to workout like I want. He made a referral to the Concussion Clinic to see what suggestions they have.
In the final stretch!! I started a yogalaties challenge at the beginning of March. So a combination of yoga and pirates. Some of them have been core killers! And some more typical yoga flows! Today was a solid combination of the two.
I finished with a Thruster and bike workout to hit my 45 minutes!
Then a nice warm walk through the wet melting snow! Most of it will be gone in the next day or so, especially if it continues to be so sunny!
The storm was about as bad as expected! We ended up with about 8 inches of wet heavy snow! And a snow day off from school due to the ice and timing of the storm!
By the afternoon it was sunny, though still very windy! And a great afternoon to walk or sled! The wind made a lot of cool designs in the snow! I realized about half way through my walk that I should’ve counted some of my shoveling towards my 2nd workout! And that I could’ve used snow shoes to make the walk a little different!
With the snow day I also finished my next book. Adrift, is the story about a sailor whose boat sank in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. He was able to make into his his life boat and floated for 76 days until finally being saved.
The book chronicles his journey and the many peaks and valleys throughout. Including multiple equipment failures, catching fish, and getting fresh water.
The book was part of Go Ruck’s Tribe n Training group. But really anyone doing 75 Hard should read it! The connection of the number of days is real. A few times I thought about parallels to his experience and mine. Though ultimately 75 Hard is much easier!
Another morning workout outside! The weather in the afternoon wasn’t going to be great so I wanted to get it done. It was around 33f in the morning. It warmed up some before it rained and then snowed!
I rode my trainer in the basement doing some short sprints! And then snuggled up for the evening wondering if the storm would be as bad as expected!
