12 February

5 and a half hours of skiing!!!  :wowthatwasnutswtf: :headbang:

It's been 2 years. Was rusty as f@ck of course, barely got to a decent form at the end of the day.
Still, what a glorious thing skiing is, a very enjoyable sport in a magnificent nature surrounding.
This totally ruined my weekly run-training plan ( no low aerobic run and no HIIT run ). Don't care , totally worth it, skiing makes me so happy! ;D

skiing weekend was a big success. it was a little warm on saturday (35/2 degrees) but still fun and then it snowed all saturday night and sunday morning and the temp dropped to like 20/-7, which meant fresh powder. and it was super bowl sunday, so the mountain emptied out. we were able to just ski right back onto the main lift after each run.

and no soreness! i did lose a bunch of hair on the front of my shins, though, lol.

nice, up a road i don't usually run on and the change of scenery was good. also a big out-and-back climb, elevation gain was 126 feet per mile which is more than even my usual hilly routes. good to know.

intentionally slow, probably should run slower. it's okay. an hour of moving is good. pretty cold but no wind so felt nice.

felt fine if a little slow. post run feel fat and out of shape. HR clocked at 160 average, which is terrible for this pace. nothing to do but start climbing the mountain again, slowly and patiently.

work has been very heavy the last two weeks, i've ramped up my mutual aid participation, i've been going on some dates...just haven't been prioritizing exercise. that's got to change at least a little, i've slid into inactivity and that sucks. wheel spinning is better than backsliding.

ETA: also, oh god, my knees are killing me like ten minutes after the run ended! this is a layoff thing, i think. i hope.

haha thanks for the report!

- run 41:44, 8.01 km
the embassy row-cathedral hill route. pretty cold, windchill allegedly in the teens but i don't believe it. warmed up fine after about a km or two.

it's slushy/icy outside after the snow we got the other day so i have not been running. perhaps i am simply a wimp.

- warm up run x 1 mile (dreadmill)

- GMB mobility

- SVJ +40 x 5

- superset x 2
-- DB OHP 20s x 5
-- neutral chin x 10,5 (lololol weeeeak)

- superset x 2
-- BSS +40 x 10
-- DB RDL 20s x 10

- low pulley row +18.1 x 10/side

- hollow body hold 30s x 2
second one quite hard

fml i am weak. well, got to start somewhere.

ETA: also, weighed myself today for the first time in many moons. 169, which is about 4 pounds more than the last time i did this. given how inconsistent i've been over the last few months, that is most likely all fat. i'm still quite lean (abs visible if blurry, as has been the case since i can remember), but it's notable. i don't think i've ever passively put on weight before, as an adult. welcome to the back half of your 30s, luke.

i am now fantasizing about moving to like jasper or val thorens or some shit next winter. like, i know why i like being in DC -- community building, involvement in politics, have lots of friends here, etc. -- but man if i wasn't single...tempting. i have been thinking a lot again about my ex. i shut things down with her in the fall, after she made her pitch to get back together. but can't get her out of my head. and she's the kind of person who'd be down to go post up in a crappy one-bedroom apartment next to a mountain for like three months. then go somewhere else. seems like it'd be fun for a while.

Some random things tryna get some upper back work without any equipment lol

you could get a band and do pull-aparts. that barely counts as equipment. otherwise, inverted rows under a table or desk?

went skiing for a couple of days in vermont this past week, first time doing that in 5-6 years and it was a blast. calves quite sore, don't usually use 'em like that.

- run 34:25, 6.59 km
hilliest route but this still felt like more of a struggle than it should. pretty out of shape after what feels like the longest layoff of my adult life. but good to end the year with a run, however short.

happy new year, y'all!
