RogueLibrarian Posted January 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Aw, you guys are such good crewmates. So, TODAY: I hit the gym again (that's three workouts, for those keeping track). I did 5k on the elliptical while watching Netflix on my new tablet, which I like a lot. I think I'm going to try to make 5k my new regular cardio/running target. I didn't do any strength work today since tomorrow is kickboxing class. Next week I get the suspension straps out again, I think. I enjoyed the last day of my quiet gym; next week it's going to be packed with students. 2 Quote "We can be heroes" Level 13 Assassin | climbing | meditating | running | writing | bodyweight training | kickboxing | Backyard gym project Current Challenge | 39 | 38 | 37 | 36 | 35 | 34 | 33 | 32 | 31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 Link to post

RogueLibrarian Posted January 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 So, last night they called a snow day for today (on the first day of classes!) even though it has turned out to be ... partly cloudy, as far as I can tell. This is, I think, also partly a reaction to the fact that there's some kind of huge football game today, and there's an orange public figure in town, and they were already forecasting today to be one of the worst traffic days ever. So I was planning to do a gym workout this afternoon, but that's not happening. I think today is going to be mostly a nesting day. I'm going to get to the store and do some meal prep, (sesame peanut noodles with broccoli for brownbag lunches, and vegetable fajitas for tonight's dinner). I'm going to meditate, vacuum the whole house, and ... if I'm honest, probably play a couple of hours of Assassin's Creed Origins. 4 Quote "We can be heroes" Level 13 Assassin | climbing | meditating | running | writing | bodyweight training | kickboxing | Backyard gym project Current Challenge | 39 | 38 | 37 | 36 | 35 | 34 | 33 | 32 | 31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 Link to post

RogueLibrarian Posted January 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 So, our "snow day" was light drizzles and 35 degrees. Still, free day off. I pretty much nailed that nesting day. Vacuumed, cooked two meals, played some AC, meditated, spent most of the day in sweatpants. No complaints. Just came from the gym -- it was packed, as expected for the first week of classes and right after new year. It'll ease off in a month or so. I got the suspension straps out for a strength workout today, and enjoyed the challenge. I'm trying to keep it simple enough that I can keep my workout routine in my head without having to look at a list, and challenging enough that I'm not bored with it. I think I'm at a good sweet spot for now. I want to get back into climbing, which I miss -- but I'm going to focus on fundamentals for a few weeks and get the routine back in the groove first. 3 Quote "We can be heroes" Level 13 Assassin | climbing | meditating | running | writing | bodyweight training | kickboxing | Backyard gym project Current Challenge | 39 | 38 | 37 | 36 | 35 | 34 | 33 | 32 | 31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 Link to post

Twilight Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Ok so if I make a rowing playlist with music specifically for rowing, what should I put on it? Quote Link to post
RogueLibrarian Posted January 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I am sad because a friend just asked me to be on his obstacle course race team, and I ended up saying no because the registration fee was more than I felt like I can justify this month. This is still a thing I want to do. I'm still in "new year motivation" mode, and I've been thinking about my quest list for the year. Does anyone else do this? Today: another gym break. I'm aching from yesterday, but I think today might be a rowing day. Speaking of: 3 minutes ago, Twilight said: Ok so if I make a rowing playlist with music specifically for rowing, what should I put on it? Uhhhhhhhhh let's brainstorm that one.

After the 2008 snow storm, King County (2,307 sq mi, 2 million people) only had 1 snowplow, they decided to to add to the fleet. As of 2010 I think we had 3, maybe more now? I usually just stay home anyways. Our "normal" snow is a sprinkling that will melt as soon as it hits the ground. 2 Quote Spoiler Previous Challenges: 2020: 1.20 - 2019: 1.19 l 2.19 2018: 1.18 l 2.18 l 3.18 l 4.18 l 5.18 l 6.18 l 7.18 2017: 1.17 I 2.17 I 3.17 I 4.17 I 5.17 l 6.17 l 7.17 l 8.17 I 9.17 l 10.17 2016: 1.16 l 2.16 l DA v.1 l DA v.2 I DA v.2 Reloaded I DA v.3 I DA v.4 I 8.16 I 9.16 I DA v.5 I 11.16 2012: 1 2013: 2 l 3 l 4 l 5 l 6 l 7 l 8 2014: 9 l 10 l Not Done Yet l Time to Conquer l Conquering Fitocracy GoodReads HFC for Life!
