Weeknotes: 2024, Week 9

Another beautiful week.

Running

I took a break from running this week. I decided to listen to the early warning system my knee was activating. Foam rolling, sauna sitting, and regular stretching have me feeling ready to get out there.

Climbing

The first climb of the month on the last day of the month. I decided to freeze my membership again. The climbing journey of the last two and a half years has been fun. I’m finding myself more drawn to lifting, running, yoga, and sitting in the sauna.

Lifting

Made it the desired three times this week. I’ve been working the Stronglifts 5x5 regimen. My current working weights:

• Squat: 155 pounds
• Bench press: 105 pounds
• Barbell row: 125 pounds
• Overhead press: 75 pounds
• Deadlift: 145 pounds

There’s room to push it. But I’m not inclined to overdo it. I’m building sustainable fitness habits.

Highlights

Small memories that delight as I reflect on the week.

• We finished the final season of The Crown on Netflix. What a journey. Long live the queen.
• Tacos on Tuesday. Stumbling into a Taco Tuesday deal with friends.
• Two months of no alcohol. Not missing it!
• Taking a hot bath and watching Curb Your Enthusiasm.
• Taking in a University of Kentucky basketball game at Rupp with my friend and son.
• First week of taking notes with Bear has been an easy transition. The organizational options of the tagging semantics are emerging.
• Throwing frisbee in the backyard with E. Perfect throws and diving catches. Sunset signaling our need to eat.
• Conduct Together with all the kids.
• The southwest salad from Chick-fil-a with a heaping dollop of homemade chili crisp.
• Hibachi and Marikka’s for a friend’s birthday.
• D2: The Mighty Ducks movie night.
• Friends sending good music recommendations.
• Incense in the office.
