That looks SO inviting!
Thanks!!
Itās one of my favorite places. Two Olympic-sized pools surrounded by trees. Iām always happy when Iām there!
I think I recognize that pool!
Iād allow a substitution of the 5K for a āTriple Lindy.ā
(from Rodney Dangerfieldās 1986 movie "Back to School)
37 degrees wet, wet - I always say Cold Rain is my least favorite weather. Give me colder/snowy over that and day (for walkingā¦ Iām actually a rather timid driver in the snow and ice).
Nice emoji!!!
I walked 4.2 miles today, but didnāt take any pics. Will post pics when I do a better walk :).
Amazingly sunny today, but another Pineapple Express or something is moving in early next week. Went to one local town and walked along the lake.
Today is my 61st birthday so I ran a 6.1k. PHEW. It was pretty plodding, but I did it!
That means you can have two pieces of cake!
I did!
Sundays are my bonus days. Donāt have to go to the gym, but I usually go and do some cardio and abs. Today is warm! 63 degrees this morning in contrast to the 17* degree windchill earlier this week. Prefer the 17 I do! The gym was warm and I sweat a ton in the 40 min on the stairmonster. The steps get slippery
I ran 3.5 miles today. My route was around a nearby lake where I often run. I had heard something about a ādip and saunaā and on my run I passed by 2 portable saunas and saw a bunch of women emerging in bathing suits. sure enough, they went into the lake for a dip. It was 37 degrees which is actually not considered that cold here!
Iāll stick to running and walking.
Years ago my kids did a polar plunge (on the coldest/windiest day in the eventās history). They had to stand in line a long time because it was timed such that each person could go directly from the water to one of the portable hot tubs (I think for 2 minutes?). My kids donāt usually like advice from mom, but they thanked me later for the suggestion to bring blankets and to wear shoes from the car to the beach.
I mean, cold plunge is such a āhotā thing right now! So many people actually buying plunge units for their homes.
One of my exercise programmers, who moved from the SF Bay Area to NC, bought one of those cold plunge tubs within the past few months, and heās a big believer in cold plunges. He wakes up, goes outside on his porch, drops into the tub, and thereās snow on the ground!
But thereās no way Iām doing it. Iād probably have a coronary plunging my body in ice.
Sundayās are also a ābonus dayā for me too. Usually, Iāll run, but today I bench pressed and then my HIIT was:
100 Wall Balls
100 Toes-to-bar(s)
100 KB Swings
100 Calories on the air bike
30 minutes or less was the goal and I just barely made it. By like 2-3 seconds.
Wow! Good Job! Did you break all that up into smaller sets? T2B are my nemesis! I would never be able to do 100 in a row! 10 of each movement times 10 rounds would be how I would tackle that one!
