I took advantage of the break between the weather warnings to go for a very muddy 5k run. 28min 48sec (hard direction, with added water hazards). That’s my 8 runs for September target completed.

Well done OublietteBravo!
4 mile walk - I'd like to say it was my dedication to health and fitness that forced me out into the lashing rain, but I had my nieces dog, so I had no choice. I have discovered that my Regatta waterproof parka is no longer waterproof - even my bra was wet. Happy spaniel though.

Well done, Oubliette!

Planned rest day yesterday, started T25 Beta week 5 today (we draw a veil over my having taken the whole of September to get through week 4).

T25 core cardio. Not a good day, my hip is niggling more than usual.

That's frustrating Professor. I hope it's not too sore.

S&c this morning. I upped my deadlift again today, 67.5kg.

Alittlefrustrated · 28/09/2024 19:38

That's impressive MotherForkinShirtBalls
I"m sure you posted an increase very recently!
2.5 mile brisk walk tonight.

Well done on the new PB, MotherForkin!

T25 Ripped Circuit done. Hip marginally better than yesterday but now my lower back is niggling. On the whole I feel pretty positive and content with middle age, but I do wish it came with fewer ‘ouch’ moments. On the plus side, two more workouts and I’ve finished Beta.

OMG Professor I hear you about the niggles. There's a new one every day! 🙄

Keep going frustrated! 🥳

Well done on another PB Motherforkin and for reaching your target Oubliette!! Hope your calf is okay spikeandbuffy 🫶

6 mile dog walk at a local NT property. Saw a few squirrels, which always cheers me up, and a good natter with a friend.

S&c. My back was a bit tired and achey over the weekend so I took an unplanned rest day yesterday.

OP posts:
ProfessorRadcliffeEmerson · 01/10/2024 21:09

I too had an unplanned rest day yesterday- couldn’t drag myself out of bed to exercise before work, and work went like a rocket all day and into the evening so by the time I got home there was no time. Hope your back was better for it, MotherForkin.

You’re charging towards your target, Alittlefrustrated - it’s very impressive.

T25 dynamic core done this evening. The end of Beta is in sight, but then I have to start Gamma. At least that’s only 4 sessions a week instead of 5.

Alittlefrustrated · 02/10/2024 19:16

Thanks ProfessorRadcliffeEmerson
It really helps knowing I've got to post my efforts.
3.3 mile brisk walk am

Yes, the accountability really focuses the mind, doesn't it, frustrated!

My back is fine again, thanks Professor, but I was still tired yesterday so I went a bit easier. My run this evening felt much harder than the last couple of weeks.

OP posts:
ProfessorRadcliffeEmerson · 02/10/2024 20:30

T25 upper focus done, and that’s week 5 of Beta. Planned rest day tomorrow and then I’ll start Gamma on Friday.

S&c this morning. I'm sleeping really badly at the moment and finding everything hard going.

4.6 mile dog walk

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 03/10/2024 22:03

I keep forgetting, frustrated, I don't know if you want to check your watch's accuracy, but I use this route plotter sometimes. It's a bit fiddly but does the job if you want to get an idea of how close you are.

Sorry about your sleep,Motherforkin: I have spells like that too and it’s so frustrating.

T25 Gamma, Speed 3.0 done. I’m not doing this one again, I’ll get injured. There’s nothing in there that I actually can’t do at all, apart from the burpee into a push-up jack, but they’re mostly tough moves and it goes too fast. I’m just too uncoordinated for these speed workouts.

106 - I look on track for my target of 150 for the year.

Alittlefrustrated · 04/10/2024 20:17

I'll have a look at that thanks MotherForkinShirtBalls.
You've cerainly put some work in ProfessorRadcliffeEmerson - I've become too injury prone and arthritic to even think about you've been doing. Those days are gone.
Morning swim today - don't know how many lengths after 30, as I was too busy silently raging as I had to weave in and out of too many people going too slow. I was practically swimming on the spot at one point - hemmed in.
One girls bikini was so tiny I felt like her gynaecologist. 🤣
