Illinois is in Phase 3 of reopening so I took advantage to visit Tracy for a short while; we maintained social distance and she has been strict in her shelter in place.
That added .82 miles of walking each way..not that I am keeping track. My Prius ran out of battery juice as I neglected to keep it going. I’ll call for a jump on Monday.
But I got a workout prior to that; deadlifts followed by a 7 mile walk at about 16:50 mpm (easy pace, easy effort; sort of warm)
Deadlifts before: 10 x 134, 10 x 184, 10 x 217, 10 x 184 (deficit for the final working set); quite a bit of glute warm up.
The walk: 1:59 for my 7.04 mile course. Walk was pain free.
About my weights and sports in general: Yeah, I played that game; maybe making this change or that change in my technique might help. And maybe it did…a few seconds here, a couple of pounds there. But ultimately, I suck because...I am slow and weak. That is all it really is. Sure, technique can help with injury prevention and maybe help a little. But only a little.
Social
I did feel some pain walking to Tracy’s as I didn’t warm up before.
Her cats (3 of them) greeted me.
Issues
This is from the point of view of a Black Naval Academy graduate. A little bit of this resonates with me and it sounds very similar to what Black colleagues have told me.
Beating Trump: The Lincoln Project is run by Republicans who know how to win. We should listen to them.
Republicans are better at this than we are.
