D113: 11.02.21

Workout: Cardio
Equipment Used: Schwinn AirDyne
Duration: ~8mi/~40min
Driver: Entombed A.D. - Bowels Of Earth
Calories: ???

Quality Level: N/A
Observations/Intel: Well...didn't expect it to be 2 months to the date of the last workout post, but here we are, I guess. Both Legs and Air were pretty good throughout. Last night, I was amped to finally get back in the seat, but this morning, woke up feeling kind of blasted. So, I meant to go in and kind of ease back into things, but found that, after a fairly lengthy warm-up period, that normal to slightly higher cadences felt pretty good and air was keeping up, so I extended it from the initial 7 miles to 8. I am still going to ease into things a bit more, though, as recovery was somewhat of a problem before and it wasn't exactly great during my time away.

The time away was definitely not spent loafing. Sure, there was a bit of booze, but I didn't stray off-diet and what I was doing tended to be very physical, so, in many ways, it was like a very extended workout. When I came back, resumed my own box-moving project for another week (basically I didn't take days off until I had re-filled my trash bins and couldn't go further until they were emptied) and felt I had things back at a level I could consider resuming workouts, once body healed a bit. Achilles seems fine, have not braced Left at all in months and Right only once in that time period, so that is also good news.

I did a couple weigh-ins last week, both at 242, but rather than continue to press my luck, I really want to get myself back on track, both with a somewhat cleaner diet and with the bike again to work Cardio. I presume a vax will be available to 5 - 12 this week and if so, that means my son can be potentially fully vaxxed by the end of the year. I do not wish to resume the gym in January with the resolutionists, so I'm looking more at a Feb 1 return date, if all works out. So...plan to keep trying to hit it as hard as I can for the next 3 months...
