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...

a rose by many other names

Image
her name was probably not rose. she had changed her name so many times over the many years that i knew her that i could not recall her original name or if i had ever known it. i had known her since i was a kid on the rez. she was older. enough for me to see her as an adult.  and almost every time I ran into her she was going by a different name. rose was just the first one i remember hearing. she wasn’t beautiful. her presence didn’t carry the weight that beautiful people do when you’re young. i once heard a guy her own age refer to her as pig face and that was pretty close to the truth. i did not feel the sadness that i do now on reflection that simply because she had not been born the lucky winner of the lottery of beauty that she was so easily dismissed, not just by others, but by me. she wasn’t particularly kind. but then I doubt that she was dealt much kindness in her life. she wasn’t funny or charming or crazy enough to be frightening. she was just this older gir...

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 ...

Why People Got Disease

Why People Got Disease This is not a Mohawk story. This is a Cherokee story. It’s a good story though. An important story. It’s about when the first People showed up on Turtle Island. It’s about why we have disease and sickness. How when those first People showed up they got on the other animals’ nerves. How they didn’t respect the other animals and didn’t respect the earth, so the other animals got together around the sacred fire and decided to do something about it. We like to think that some People are better than other People but as far as animals are concerned People all have to be taught respect. People have to be taught how to behave. People need something to keep them from crowding the planet and doing nothing but harm. Back near the beginning of People they hadn’t learn to respect the earth or respect their animal cousins so all the other animals got together and decided to do something about it. They gathered in a circle around a sacred fire and passed...
