Pandemic Training Diary Week 3 Days 4 & 5

Pandemic Training Diary
Week 3 Days 4 & 5
Day 4, Week 3, started out far better than the previous day. I got some deep sleep and the pain, when I woke up was more of a dull roar. Had a hard time getting moving though. Contentment for me is both an unusual feeling and not in my toolbox as far as motivation goes. I also wanted to stress with myself to not overdo it just because I’m having a better day. So I allowed myself to start out slowly and took my time. I always start with Joint Circles to get my joints lubricated and ready for motion. Just a few simple circles around each joint starting out with small joints like the wrists and working towards larger joints like hips and back. Today was a Suspension Tabata Based Workout (See my past post at: https://www.facebook.com/HITTScarborough for a description of the basics of these exercises and my ideas as to alternatives). Kept it down to 2 Sets of 2 Circuits. Very brief, so as not to overdo it. Yard Sprints x 4, with Suspension Push Ups x 100, with Front Pistol Squats with a Suspension Assist x 50 Each Leg, with Suspension Rows x 100. Side Crossover Sprints x 4, with Suspension Pullovers facing away from the straps x 100, with Suspension Assist Side Kick Squats x 50 Each Leg, with Suspension Pullovers facing the straps. Notice that I’m alternating Lower Body Work with Upper Body Work. The idea is an old one called Flushing, that bodybuilders used to reduce fat, forcing the heart and lungs to work harder to supply blood to opposite ends of the body. Inside, because it was a cold day, for Plow Series Hatha Yoga and Meditation. I hold each position for Four deep inhales and exhales, moving from position to position fairly slowly. Rested and Ate. Walk with a friend. Rested and Ate. Walked Benji with Stretching and Breathing. Wrote. Read. Relaxation Yoga.
Day 5 started off interestingly. I got another good night’s sleep. In fact, I may even have overslept. First time I was able to put 2 days in a row of decent sleep. I felt good when I woke up. Less pain. And I started out by planning on doing my Plyo workout today. But, even though my back pain was better, the best it’s been in a while, I could feel a definite weakness there and every instinct in my body said to take it relatively easy, to not punish myself for feeling better. I did do a Dog Run, but no sprints and didn’t push myself very hard. Only did a quick stretch afterwards. We have to remember that Yoga and stretching, while they are far less stressful to your body are still exercise. So I kept it brief and easy. Rested a bit. Then walked with a friend. That’s it for exercise. Kept my diet clean and didn’t push myself too hard. Did some writing. Some reading to wind my day down.

That’s it for Days 4 & 5, Week 3 of Isolation Training. So far so good...

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
