TGIF? Right!!! At least by the time Helen is reading this, she'll be on the "wind down". (I'm off today!)
Checking in before I get the day started.
Lili: I really can't stand
(no pun intended!) when an instructor (Peloton) spends more time standing than not. It really, really, really bothers me. I am so used to Matt, Denis, Olivia, Christine (during power zone rides) who ride along with us. Some standing is ok. Like ally does in some of her Sundays with Love, but mostly she rides along. But the instructors who spend more time standing than cycling really bothers me. I should mention, I think I've done one maybe two rides of Cody's and he's not my favorite. YMMV!
Meditation is good. I bet it felt great after all that raking you've been doing.
Helen: We're beyond that. (Apologizing for not posting). I think it was more to me than you anyway!!! Nope, no guilt trip intended. We all post when we can. Sometimes it's daily, sometimes it's once a week. Life gets in the way. So no apologies please!
Sounds like you're headed for a Christi party!
Pam: How's the hip? Are you feeling better? Come say hi!
Waves to Kay and anyone else lurking.
On to my favorite subject. Me! Me! Me!
11/11/2020: Power Zone Endurance ride (45 mins.) with Denis for the challenge,
Post Ride Stretch, 10 minute Row (which ended up being Tabata. They didn't call it that. But I thought of Helen - it was 40/20 split.Yep....Who would have thought?)
PM: "Sweat" workout (aka endurance) Row. It was "Dancing with the Rhythm Row" and I loved it. Steady pace, with some pushes.
45 minutes. Great music. I was smiling away as I rowed with Dani. I laughed out loud TWICE. Once when the theme music from Gilmore Girls came on. I thought, "Ha! This is the theme song from Gilmore Girls" and then SHE MENTIONED it.
and another time when she nailed a bridge (going under it) with her oar. Made me jump and giggle! (the sound was kinda loud). It was funny. She was fine. But at any rate. . . I did it because Daphne told me there was a badge available for any Hydrow row longer than 20 minutes for Veteran's day. But alas. NO BADGE when I was finished.
Fast forward to the next night? It showed up! 24 hour delay ?? But hey - I got another badge. ONWARD ....
11/12/2020: 30 minute Holiday Fun Run on the treadmill with Becs. (it was fun and I hit some pretty fast ~ for me ~ speeds). Followed by a
45 minute endurance power zone ride for the challenge.
I was going to do a couple of power zone rides when I got home from work to get a boost on the challenge, but well ... it didn't happen. I sat down. (Big mistake) and that was it. I decided to get caught up on my tivo'd shows instead. (aka sleep). But shows are caught up and I survived! Today I will do a ride or 5 and get ahead.
I am thoroughly enjoying the Hydrow App. I think I say that every time I post. I need to get some gloves for rowing. I have cycling gloves which I was wearing, but they are old and kind of disintegrating. I've already done 7 of my 18 sessions for this month, so I have no doubt I will get them done. I probably will subscribe to the app as well. We'll see. I know I have some Itunes cards laying around, so I will put them into the Itune store and be good for a couple of months!
Ok, gotta run. Lots of stuff to do this weekend.
Make it a great day.
