W-Th-F

Well, it isn’t as if I’ve done nothing.

In terms of working out:

Wednesday: pull ups: 3 sets of 10 (ragged), 6,5,4,5,4 (some chin to bar pull ups)
bench: 10 x 134. Incline: 3 sets of 6 x 134
trap dead: 10 x 134, 10 x 184 low, 10 x 228 4 inch
commuter walking of 2 and 1 mile.

Thursday: 5.15 right at 14:00 per mile. Then a commuter walk of 1 mile. BUT..seeing that a colleague got COVID, I got my shots: covid, flu, pneumonia.

Friday: weakened by the vaccines, two 2 mile commuter walks.
I got the shot a 2:10 on Thursday but really started to feel the effects at about 1 am on Friday; had a lot of trouble sleeping. But I did finish my Morse novel.

Gearing up..

Yes, the “inevitable summer visit” is coming.

But this weekend: I saw the Chiefs win 4-0 on a day when the whole team looked sharp. Then on Sunday, they got bombed 10-0. It was 3-0 when the Chiefs put in a usually reliable short term reliever-closer who got bombed out of the box. It was soon 8-0 after 4 and it never got better.

I guess some just go to be with their loved one.

Book notes: I am reading an Inspector Morse novel. Early on, the author describes a woman’s nightgown by using an offensive racial slur as a modification for the color brown. This was written in 1979! Evidently, this was a common practice at the time (I looked it up). Wow..that was 46 years ago and this was from a different country (UK) but, at least modern dictionaries describe that as being “taboo” and “offensive.” I admit that this startled me a bit.

Workout notes: Sunday: I did a slow 5 mile walk (16:32 pace) and it actually felt good; it took some of Saturday’s stiffness away.

Monday (today) 2 mile slow walk with weights.

pull ups were a CHORE. 9 sets of 5, one of 7, no set felt super good. I did PT in between sets, outside.
downstairs:
Bench: 17 reps of 134, 3 sets of 7 x 150.
4 inch trap bar: 10 x 134, 10 x 184, 10 x 228, 10 x 244
high incline: 10 x 94, 6 x 105, 6 x 105
curls: 3 sets of 10.
I honestly got a small pump in this workout.
