Welp, didn't measure my distance and I'm too lazy to check it on OSM, but I'm pretty sure I ran at least a half marathon today, maybe more. I know that a 15k on a track usually takes me around 1.5 hours, and I ran about 3-ish hours, so it was probably in the 30k range. 🤔
The route took me through the flood zone forest next to the Maros, so I got to see some cool nature, and lots of doggos.

Found a new, even more overgrown route while #running. UwU

cc #running folks: am I weird or do others also make faces like the guy in this music video?

Went skateboarding a bit today after not having touched it for more than a year and I'm glad to announce that I am still approximately just as bad at ollies as I was a year ago. I honestly thought I'd fall on my face, so I'm pleasantly surprised.
Also TIL you can use an air compressor to clean your grip tape.

Finally timed my 15km and did it in 1:18m. UwU
A bit fuzzy on the exact number because I forgot to stop the watch for a few minutes at least.

Aaa, my team won the Santa relay #run UwU.
And we (well, I) even sang Jingle Bells on the last hundred meters.
Also shoutout to my mom for helping me finish the Santa hat.

Got assigned a more difficult exercise on swim class compared to the others. This is my proudest moment. UwU
#theGym
(My front stroke still sucks but less than it did months ago.)

Improved my 1000 meter freestyle (but tbh mostly breaststroke, my front still sucks) time by 4 minutes compared to the beginning of the semester and/or I'm getting better at counting laps and not going an extra lap by accident. Either way, it's progress. UwU

Cool blog post by @Are0h that resonates with some stuff I've been thinking about:
https://roiskinda.cool/2022/04/a-gentle-man.html
cc #theGym but I guess it's not really (just) about exercise.
Do we have a tag for like... soul searchy or mental health stuff? I feel like we should...

#Running folks, here is something I've been wondering for years:
do yall listen to music/audiobooks/podcasts/etc while running?

I've tried to a few times but it always messes up my rhythm, even if it's just plain prose.

#theGym

Been trying a sort of "squat table" setup the past week or so, because I'm both metaphorically and often literally sick of sitting at my desk, but despite being in pretty good shape and having pretty strong legs, it's... pretty challenging. Often I find myself lying down instead.
Anyone tried something similar?
Idk what tags might be relevant. #health ? #standingDesk ? #squatting ?

and #theGym I guess

Ran 15k and scored a free chair. Today was a good day. UwU
And yeah this time I actually ran on a track so for the first time since high school I actually measured how far I ran. Didn't measure the time though.
I consider dragging the chair with one arm next to my bike as the second half of today's workout.
#theGym

Ran like 10k today to celebrate getting a 5 on my logic test. UwU
I don't usually like running on tracks because I always kept pushing myself way too hard to run faster than everyone and ran out of juice too early, but this time I made an exception and actually managed to not try to show off.
Well, I still probably showed off a bit. 😇
It's been a few months since I ran any substantial distance, so I think today's performance was pretty impressive. UwU
#theGym

First time climbing with own chalk and chalk bag and wow, it makes climbing in the heat a lot easier, who woulda thunk it.
Now gonna do a short run with the doggo too, to round things off. UwU

#theGym

First time climbing with weights. UwU
#theGym

I did a boulder problem today on climbing and it was so cool to see the reaction of others who it turned out were trying to do the same problem. UwU
I'm still not at the level I used to be but at least now I know I'm not the noobest.

#theGym

Went climbing with sis.
I think we finished one (1) wall. In our defense, all the easy ones were taken and we haven't climbed in a year.
Still, a good start. UwU
#theGym

Ran ~2 hours in the rain. UwU
#theGym
