Fever

Monday, February 19, 2024

Yesterday, my body revved up the thermastat wide open as it continues to provide a stalwart defense.

Today before daybreak, I earned a cascade of Garmin badges:

  1. 30-Day Goal Getter - Hit your daily steps goal 30 days in a row.
  2. 10K a Day Challenge - Get 10,000 steps a day for 30 consecutive days.
  3. Hydration Streak - Track at least 64 oz. of water intake daily for 30 consecutive days.
  4. 30 for 30 - Record an activity of at least 30 minutes every day for 30 consecutive days.
  5. Walk Streak - Walk 1 mile in a single activity every day for 30 consecutive days.
  6. Deep Breathing - Record 1 breathwork activity.

I didn't have it in me to press for today's new training regimen. Quitely honestly, it hasn't been completely mapped. I do know I want to do the following three times a week (MWF) at a 5x20 implementation:

  • Arnold press
  • DB bench press
  • DB incline row
  • Corkscrews
  • Upper circle crunches

Some time ago, I wrote how I thought of how I wanted three roles out of my training, a martial artist, a lean bodybuilder, and a runner. In two of those, I have invested a significant amount of time. On the martial arts side, it largely has been a quick checkbox. I'd like to change that. Also, I want it to involve my DnD dice.

While it is not specifically a part of any of those, I'd like to return to my meditation & breathwork. I did 10 minutes of square breathing this morning though I'm unsure how everything can work together for a seamless morning.

Speaking of this morning, while I did not lift, I did face a 26℉ walk. I only put in 3.9 miles to open up the opportunity for my wife to head up to the gym. The pace wasn't great at 20:57, but it's a couple of minutes faster than yesterday's zombie stroll.
