Day 73

Comments (0)

There was a full lunar eclipse that hit totality between 1:30-2:30am this morning.  I figured that if I got up at 2am, I would get some sleep before and after and see the eclipse. I decided that I would go for a 45 minute walk at 2am to the lake and see what I could see! Then I could sleep in later since I would already have my 1st workout done! It worked pretty well. The moon was tiny way up overhead and the cell phone doesn’t do it justice. 

Being outside and walking around at 2am was a weird experience. Lots of houses had interior lights on but I only saw 1 other person out. I saw quite a few police (more than during the day for sure) and some other cars. Otherwise it was uneventful.

I ended up being more tired than I thought but made it through the day. This afternoon I went to the concussion clinic and got some exercises for my eyes. My left eye is a little off and the hope is that with some exercises I can strengthen it and reduce the headaches while working out.

When I got home I couldn’t decide what my workout should be. It was also 74f so quite nice. I ended up going for a relaxed pace bike ride. And got a headache from it.

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!

It was going to be another busy Monday evening so I decided to workout in the garage/driveway again for my outdoor workout. And use my trainer in the evening.

This morning’s workout was the weekly Vault and I opted for the sandbag version instead of double dumbbell snatches! I had to modify the burpees and box jumps, but it was still a good workout! 

The Bike trainer was boring, but I used the time to also get my reading for the day done! A little double duty time for the win!

I snapped this pic on my way to work!

Day 54

It’s almost spring like. I did my morning workout outside and did the Rogue Excavator workout (unofficially). I added my weight vest to my sandbag, but I’m not sure how much it actually weighed.  But I’m sure it’s way under 150 pounds, which was the Rx weight. My time for the 30 sandbags to shoulder was 3:37. That seemed fast, but the winning time was 1:19 with the 150# bag!

That obviously didn’t take much of my 45 minute workout time, even with a warmup! Luckily Go Ruck’s Tribe N Training workout of the week was also a sandbag, so I did it as well! That put me over time! And was a solid workout, the shuffle was a little tricky with ice still in the alley, but I didn’t fall.

We went out for ice cream and I didnt get any, even though the flavors sounded good. It was a small sacrifice to the challenge! Maybe I’ll remember to go back after!

The afternoon I went for a bike ride! I took my commuter and enjoyed the sights along the way! It was such a beautiful afternoon! 

Day 47

I did some of the TriDot Assessments today.

The Bike assessment is a warm up then 15 miles as fast as possible. Today was 29:06, which is a 3 minute improvement from January’s assessment.

This afternoon I did a 5k walk, the actual assessment is a run. But I’m still not able to run. I was surprised that I dropped 2 minutes off the walk. Some of the sidewalks and stuff was messy from the recent snow, but it didn’t seem to slow me down. My time today was 51:40.
