I was gonna go to the gym today but my gym buddy bailed for an organizing meeting (lame), but also I'm so sore from work anyways, must have moved a few cubic yards of material with a transfer shovel.

I've been doin alright.. my parent came to visit for the first time in over 5 years so we took her around the area and whatnot. Walked FAR more than we usually do so big plus there, but I wasn't doing my crunches at night. Started back up again Monday night.

how i wish everywhere was so walkable there was no alternative but to be at least kind of in shape

That's kinda what my mom said. She's super jealous that we can just walk to get groceries, to get coffee, or to the library among other things. We are indeed super lucky in that!

It's funny, I live in a classic US city: walkable downtown surrounded by single family housing

But I live downtown

So I can walk anywhere, coffee, bar, library, etc. But heaven forbid I want groceries...

Yesterday I got a quick 20 minute strength circuit in and I'm planning another short set tomorrow. Going to keep going! Short is better than nothing!

fuck yeah, okay, you've inspired me, 5 sets of psuedo-planche pushups tonight

[–] OgdenTO@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Running like 5 days a week instead of anything else because my shoulder still hurts. Excited to get back to strength training but damn it takes a while to heal
