Pandemic Fitness Diary Phase 3 Week 2B Days 4 & 5

Pandemic Fitness Diary
Phase 3 Week 2B Days 4 & 5
I started day 4, Week 2B of Phase 3, having a very difficult time getting out of bed. The Pain, Migraine and Sciatic, was back. I don’t know if this is connected to the humidity or why, but it has so far occurred on the most humid days. I lied in bed without sleeping for a long time. Just couldn’t gather the will to get out of bed and face the pain. I also had no actual appointments for the day, so I could just lie there for a while. Eventually did crawl out of bed and determined that, despite the oppressive humidity and heat, despite my Pain and Depression, I was going to exercise at least a little. So I gathered myself up, went outside (it was like walking into a blast furnace...) and did a short simple Bodyweight Tabata Series. (See my past post at: https://www.facebook.com/HITTScarborough for a description of this workout).  Did not even attempt to do more than I have been doing and made sure to drink copious amounts of water. 2 Sets of 2 Reps of: Yard Bounds x 2 Laps + Assisted Wide Grip Pull Ups x 20 + Walking Lunges x 10 Forward and 10 Backward + Push Ups x 50. Butt Kick Yard Bounds x 2 Laps + Assisted Narrow Grip Pull Ups x 20 + Sideways Walking Lunges x 10 Forward and 10 Backward + Push Ups (Use a Higher, above the Shoulders Hand Position on the 2nd Series) x 50. Seated Series Yoga and Meditate. Was soaked in sweat just doing these simple exercises. The Pain did not get better as I moved but the Yoga and Stretching did help with the Sciatic Pain. Inside to where it was cool to write and correspond on Social Media. Headache remained blinding, but was determined to get at least some things done. The Pain may not have gotten better but how I felt about the Pain definitely got better by me doing so.  Went for a Walk with Benji. Got full on the full on thunderstorm, raining going sideways and zero visibility. Awesome! Relaxation Yoga and Inversion Work. Reading to wind down.
Day 5 was a Rest Day. Did work with a client on Iaijutsu. And walked Benji. Then watched TV to wind down and rest. Pain not so bad. Much better than last week at this time.
That’s it for Days 4 & 5, Phase 3 Week 2B. So far so... Better. Getting better...

faller Chapter 5 Dianne

Image
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
