Well I only made it to the gym 4 times this week, as I spent Friday buy dirt bike and gear, Saturday riding, and Sunday resting from Saturday. I did get some volleyball in Tuesday and riding made me more sore than going to the gym, so I think it's still a 5/5.

And that's the last two done.

Week 8 in the books, 4 to go.

Still need to hear from ergophobe though.

First time online in a week.

DISMAL - 1/4 last week. I also managed 125 pushups in the plane, but that's not enough to count.

So far this week, I'm 3/3 and planning to make it 4/4 tomorrow. Might go 7/7 this week if all goes well.

Drastic

Ah, that's ok, A for effort. Why not count those pushups as a workout though, close to it. Doing it in a plane makes it a multiple of normal IMO. Any funny looks?

4/4 this week

Actually did five straight days - one run, two ski tours, two days using ski lifts (but plenty tiring on the legs). Rest day today and then skiing tomorrow. So it will be six this week.

I told myself 250 was the min, so it is what it is.

Some. Some thumbs up as well. But the real problem was the flight attendant who was chewing me out and complaining that I was creating a hazard (which was BS). But since they can have you arrested on landing if you talk back, I decided to be furtive. Might have gotten in 250 without her.

In any case, that would have left me with at least a 30 minute run in Frankfort airport and that place is gross. So it would have been tough

7/5 and worn out. Think it may be time to try supplements.

One volleyball session for 2 hours.
Three dirt bike rides for 2 hours or so each.
Five gym workouts.

Solid 5/5 me thinks.

3 weeks to go!!

0/4 this week... and we'll see about next week.

Bad fall skiing on Sunday. Perhaps the most painful thing I've experienced in 46 years of skiing, 39 years of climbing/mountaineering and 48 years of life and it happened at a ski resort on a maintained and easy trail.

Thought for sure I had broken my pelvis and/or vertebrae (it's possible I do have a hairline fracture, but was skiing with a surgeon and a radiologist and they said that in any case, the only treatment for hairline fractures in those regions is rest, so there's no real advantage to getting a CT scan).

Came close to puking and passing out from the pain - bad landing off a jump (actually just a high speed rollover) onto flat ice - i.e. no slope or give to cushion impact. Landed flat on my butt with the shock very efficiently transferred to the spine.

All in all, I'm feeling very lucky. It looks like I got away with only a moderately painful herniated disk and a really sore low back. I'm surprised (and thrilled) that much pain did that little damage.

Did a lot of walking last week and I think it was a mistake. Spent all day in bed today and feeling better, but most activities still hurt. Planning to spend tomorrow in bed and then see about resuming gentle exercise this coming week.

Oh well... my wife didn't get the backcountry ski touring adventure in the Alps she was looking for, but it did free up some days to see the Louvre, Tour Eiffel and lots of Parisian pastries.

0/4....  I think you should get a pass considering the circumstance.   Please take it easy and give yourself tome to heal.

4/4 for me.  Nothing very adventurous,  just heavy lifting.
