It is reflective gear season again and my first 3 miles were slow.
Ok, this ap doesn’t show that; my Garmin had 3 14:5x miles but, you know how it goes; watch recorded 6.3 and there was just a bit of tightness. I might next try this with the wide turn in both directions.
This semester: tons of meetings. But…this is going to be a very hard semester.
I post videos of some of my sets so I can post the videos here. And from time to time, I get encouragement and someone will say “someday you’ll be able to do more”, when in fact, that “someday” was in the past.
Working out is different for older people.
I am trying to slow the downward slide down.
Back: I’m pleased that I can walk much further than I could 2 years ago..even 1 year ago. But..the number one signal is my feet: tingling in the soles. That is a classic S1-L5 stenosis symptom. I need to be a bit more intentional with my lower lumbar stretches…several times a day. The radiating glute pain and the lower back stiffness is much, much, much better. But that is L3-L4 stuff.
And no…tingling feet is not a reason for surgery, I think.
Workout notes: PT with pull ups (chins too) and push ups.
Pull ups: sets of 5 singles to 20, then 8 + 3 pull ups 7+3 chin ups, 5 pull ups, 5 chins and 2 hold sets (one pull up, one chin).
Push ups (mixed in): 4 sets of 10 flat, 3 sets of 20 slant.
Downstairs: 4 sets of 5 x 94 high incline, in between:
10 x 134 4 inch, 10 x 134 low, 10 x 184 low, 10 x 225 low, 10 x 266 4 inch (tough set)
belt squats: 2 sets of 10 x 45 kg plus pin.
Later: 2 commuter 2 mile walks (15:56, 16:36 pace) with an outrageous hat.
