Day 40

Today actually ended up being busy and Street Parking through out a rucking challenge so that kind of shifted my plans.

I waited until the temp was above 0f and then did a 2.5 mile ruck with a 20# pack. It was the Street Parking Super Pup Ruck! So I took Daisy too!

Then in the afternoon I went to V3 for some lifting (did the 5/3/1 bench press) and then tried swimming for the first time post-concussion. I ended up doing 400m total, but it was 1 length at a time. And I only did a few of those as front crawl. I think it went okay. So I’ll try to get back again sooner than later to see!  I think my chest might be sore though!

Today I rode my bike on the trainer for an interval workout in the morning and then skiied in the afternoon.

I tried the natural snow, I should’ve known that it wasn’t enough for good skiing, but it was enough to make it work. Crossing the lake my poles just slid on the ice and skipped on the pavement. I was still able to enjoy myself and the sun was setting as I finished so that was a nice way to end the workout.

Over half way through the challenge now! It’s actually feeling harder now than at the beginning. I’m sure the weather and stress of work/life isn’t helping though.

It was also a hard few weeks with schedules too. I’ll continue to push through!

Finished another nonfiction book today. Another CrossFit related one. The Heart is the Strongest Muscle by Tia Claire Toomey.

I’ve not read her other book yet, but this one was more about mindset and also some of her stories about decision points she had throughout her life. It’s easy to forget her origin story from rural Australia to the Fittest Woman on Earth!

She offers some workout advice throughout but that wasn’t the main point of the book.

Day 36

Today was my 800th day of working out with Street Parking. Street Parking is an online based community that offers hundreds of workouts including a Daily WOD. Think CrossFit plus so much more. I started in April 2021 and have really enjoyed the programming and challenges. Their biggest mantras include Simple, Not Easy, More than Nothing, and Fitness Freedom.

Fitness Freedom has been important for my recovery from the concussion. Each workout has modifications and then you can modify those as needed too.

They offer rewards when you hit 75 workouts, 365, and 1000. I’m well on my way to 1000 workouts done and today felt like a good milestone! My goal is to hit the 1000 milestone this year!
