The FAF AFAP Digest

Bike, 60 minutes:

It was much much to hot to go outside today except to hop in a pool. This summer just seems insanely hot and humid. So I rode my indoor cycle while reading The Girl Who Played With Fire.


Drylands, 50 minutes:

Went to the gym with Mini Fort this afternoon and did the following:

chest passes w/med ball, 20
(Mini yelled at me to keep my thumbs up so it would mimic the lunge in evil)
tricep passes w/med ball, 20
med ball slams, 2 x 10
goblet squat, 60 x 2 x 15
squat X press, 40 x 2 x 15
one footed push ups, 2 x 25
box jumps, 2 x 10
russian twists on incline bench w/25 lb plate, 2 x 25
flutter kicks on bosu, 2 x 50
deadlift, 80 x 2 x 10
(haven't done this in many months)
leg press, 330 x 2 x 10

regular RC exercises

I was tempted to go to hot yoga tonight -- I haven't had a stretch in eons -- but it simply too appalling hot to go get even hotter.

Commentary:

I still felt pretty energetic today after my double yesterday. My shins can feel the drylands though. I'm going to try to sneak in a swim during the day tomorrow, and do some slow swimming and hypoxic work. I have to get up at the crack of dawn for a SL meet to go watch my short axis girls. I will have to indulge in Geek's metric ton of coffee to pull this rare feat off. Sunday I hope to get to my LC practice and I will be keeping my fingers crossed for Fort Son who is rowing in the finals (seeded 6th) on Sunday am. Oddly, the son of my former "secret nemesis" will be rowing on Sunday as well (but as a heavyweight). Small world.

FYI, I ran across this video on core stretching on FB. I haven't watched it yet, but will.

Today's photos are from Stockholm. The old town, Gamla Stan, with its tiny alleys and cobblestone streets was amazing to walk around. The first photo is the square of the Parliament building, the second is 14th century Riddarholm Church where many of the Swedish monarchs are buried. The interior, which you cannot take pictures of, was decorated with hundreds of elaborately carved coats of arms. Lil Fort was creeped out by walking over dead people. lol
