Pandemic Fitness Diary Phase 2 Week 1 Days 2 & 3

Pandemic Fitness Diary
Phase 2 Week 1 Days 2 & 3
I started day 2, Week 1 of Phase 2 well. The pain was down near a 3 or 2. Still careful not to push too hard too fast. Started out with Suspension Based Tabata Style Workout: (See my past post at: https://www.facebook.com/HITTScarborough for a description of these exercises and my idea for alternatives if you don’t have the equipment). 2 Sets of 2 Circuits of: Yard Sprints (More like Yard Jogs at this point. Did this in my bare feet. It was a warm enough day for this. This forces me not to run Heel – Toe, which causes impact on the joints and spine.) x 4, with Suspension Push Ups x 100, Suspension Assisted Low Squats (Didn’t want to chance Pistol Squats. Did this one Holding the Straps and Starting at the Bottom of a Low Squat and coming about ¾ of the way up to keep tension on the muscles and to avoid locking joints) x 100, and finishing with Suspension Rows x 100. Then Crossover Yard Sprints (Made sure to stay on my toes to protect my joints and spine) x 4, with Suspension Stiff Arm Pullovers facing away from the straps, then Suspension Hip Press (To do this one you face the Straps Standing Upright, allow your Hips and Butt to Fall Backward so that your body forms a V Shape, and then Squeeze your Hips Forward until they are over your feet and you are Standing Straight) x 100, and finishing with Suspension Stiff Arm Pullovers facing the Straps x 100. Standing Hatha Yoga Stretch and Meditation. Met up and hung out with a friend. Pain up to around 4 or 5, but nothing I couldn’t handle. We finished by going to a grocery store. Standing Still in a line up brought the Back Pain up to 6 or 7. When I got home to Back Pain got worse, from bad to terrible, at 9 or 10 at some points. When I went to bed once again I turned too suddenly and ended up in raging agony that would not allow me to sleep.
Day 3 was a Scheduled Day of Rest. Which was good because I was in agony. The Back Pain was back in spades, and, because I hadn’t slept, had a massive headache and was very shaky. Couldn’t get out of bed until late. Wasn’t asleep. The pain was just paralyzing and the Depression came back. I didn’t want to get up. I didn’t want to be alive. When I did get up couldn’t bring myself to do much of anything and watch TV. A very dark day. But I will not allow it to last for more than a day or two this time.

That’s it for Days 2 & 3, Phase 2 Week 2. So far so... Not good. But not done either.

faller Chapter 5 Dianne

Chapter 5 Dianne Her name was Eliza. Eliza Darquisse Dumont. But everyone called her Dianne, and nobody knew why.  Nobody, including Dianne, could remember why. She was a pretty young woman, Dianne. And, while she had many suiters, she had no intention of becoming anyone’s wife or anyone’s mother. Not if she could help it. Olive coloured skin dabbed here and there with soft freckles and high cheekbones and shimmering black hair with copper streaks that reflected the sunlight on clear days. Her eyes were ever so slightly almond shaped and the colour of almonds too, which led some to speculate that she might have Oriental blood in her.  Oriental. That’s what they called it then. It was an obliquely musical and distant word for something that the people in that place could only understand within a very uncertain frame. There was only one Chinese family and their take out food place, some half remembered thoughts of Marco Polo or Genghis Khan or Bruce Lee. It raised he

  faller: the whole thing so far…. faller Chapter 1 Ohkwá:ri - The Bear by Jules F. Delorme There was this bear.  This ohkwá:ri A long time ago.  Way back.  Before there was too much of everything. This bear.  Not a good bear or a bad bear.  Just a bear. For most of her life this ohkwá:ri had it alright.  She was the only bear around.  I don’t know if she was the only bear in the whole world or anything, but she was the only one around in those parts.  Nothing messed with her.  She just went around doing her thing.  Being a bear. But then one day people started to show up.  Everybody knows how that goes.  Just a few many at first. Then a few more. And then more and more until there are so many you can’t even keep count.  The way it always goes with people.  At first the people just did their own thing. Hunted and fished. Planted some corn.  Stayed away from the bear.  But then, when there was enough of them to do something they started to talk about the bear.  She was dangerous they s

faller Chapter 7 Suckers

Image
There’s a sucker born every minute. Every single fucking minute. The wife doesn’t like it when I swear. She keeps a swear jar at home. I put money in every day even though we’re never going to have kids to give the money to. She’s a good woman. She’s entitled to her delusions, after all I put her through. I never mention that the jar doesn’t really have a point. Every day I put money in and it just stays there. It just sits there. We go to church every Sunday and she holds my hand, and I’m just glad that she stayed with me all these years. She knows who I am. She knows the kinds of things that I do. She knows all about me. I never lie to her. I don’t talk about the things that I do and she never asks, but I never lie to her. She knows. And still she stays. Still she loves me. So let her have her swear jar that gets so full of money that neither one of us will ever touch, that gets so full of money that I keep having to buy bigger and bigger swear jars, and
