Today's workout

[MikeNice]

I drank way too much Vietnamese coffee with dinner last night. I ended up falling asleep at like 0200. So, late start again.

I loaded up my old cross body hiking bag with 10lbs of old ankle weights and hit the big hill this morning. At home vestibular therapy is in the plans but first water and a smoke.

That's some strong juice, Mike.

Truth. My first experience with it was also my first experience with Vietnamese food in general, over 20 years ago. I remember letting my friend order for me: Shrimp spring rolls, grilled lemongrass beef vermicelli bowl, and that delicious coffee. Was a true game changer! Stands out to me as one of those "a-ha!" moments where from that first bite, you know you've found something that you're gonna love for the rest of your life.

Now, the family and I go almost every week to our trusty pho place.

Yeah, I didn't realize how strong it was before I ordered. I thought it would be about like Starbucks or Caribou with condensed milk. Nah that stuff was like ordering dark roast with two shots of espresso. After the second glass I was getting caffeine jitters.

The food was awesome though. Duck fried rice with Chinese BBQ Pork Bao, Char Kway Teow, and spring rolls. We split it three ways. I am not that much of a glutton.

Now I'm hungry, Mike!

Heading in for back and bis shortly.

I skipped my post breakfast walk. I had to go take care of something this morning. So, what you see here is the efficiency of bureaucracy.

Waited about five hours and tried to do a light work out. Instant dizziness, headache, pressure, and nausea. Apparently driving for an hour today was too much. The concussion is still very real even if the medicine covers it up.

2 mile treadmill session. Gotta make this happen.

3 miles

International Chest Tuesday, with some traps and tris tossed in the mix.

 

[Texican]

Shoulders/back.

In a world where change is the rule and few things can be relied upon...50lbs is always 50lbs, and effort with the weights is always rewarded. Sometimes that's enough.

Bouncing back after getting wiped out Monday

A quick walk before breakfast to beat the storms and rain.

Back and chest superset day.

Chest/400 squats

 

[MikeNice]

It is a lot slower if you do it in flip flops and on gravel. I also added in some vestibular ball tosses. I knew if I didn't the whole week would be a loss.

I ran a small shoulders and arms routine yesterday evening. I'm still trying to get back in the swing after Monday.

Hit the post-breakfast walk this morning. It would have been faster, but I spent part of it walking backwards and uphill.

A couple of neighbors refuse to fence or chain their dogs. Now the dogs have formed a pack and harass walkers. This morning the dogs came out like they were going to chase me. So, I walked backwards and uphill to avoid turning my back on them.
