Resentment

I am going to have to make my PT routine more efficient. But the quickest I can do it is about 35 minutes..IF I am super efficient. 40-45 is more typical and frankly, I resent doing it. But..If I want to swim and walk..that is what I must do.

And yes, I know that someone with invasive cancer would gladly trade “problems” with me. It is just that I am mentally weak and prone to whining.

Today: round 1 of PT, stretching, 1 mile walk, round 2 of PT, more stretching, 1 mile walk, round 3 of PT (shoulders) Then downstairs:

deadlifts: low: 10 x 134, 10 x 184, 10 x 225 (for real this time..last time it was only 220, which FELT different) 10 x 270 8 inch.

belt squats: 10 x 50, 10 x 72, 12 x 94 (depth was lacking; last time my load pin was hooked in an unusual way which kept it higher up.

I think that I can mix it up; one day do split walks, next day do it all at once. Second walk was the faster of the two.

Note: doing “bird dog” showed me that afterward, my left leg was “heavy”; I am losing nerve signal there. I need to do some open book prior to walking.

not ready for 5K

Ok, how did it go? PT, then out: I’d say the first 2 miles were ok and around 2.3-2.5 I knew I had a decision to make. At 2.7 I knew I needed to head home.

But after 2-3 minutes I was good to go again.

Yes, the pain at 2.86 was similar to what it once was at 1.8 or so; 50 percent improvement. And I recovered quicker; the second walk WAS faster and easier.

Afterward, I fought off fatigue (embarrassing that this little workout fatigued me so) and did 60 reps of pull ups (10 singles, 10 singles, 10, 6 sets of 5 with various grips)

5 sets of 20 push ups (final 20 inclined)

bench: 6-6-6-7 with 150

rows (dumbbell) 3 sets of 10

curls 3 sets of 10

high incline: 3 sets of 10 x 94

Shoulder slightly sore afterward (later)
