Light strength and balance at home

light skating around my room, including a few plow stops! 0 foot pain for either foot!

At the gym! I heard all the undergrads partying last night, so figured the gym would be emptier, so went to the room with bosu balls that's usually more crowded. And there was room!

Highlights:
- one-legged bosu balance, for right leg passed 15-lb kettlebell around. Then tried 25 lbs, was too off balance, but tried on the floor first and went back to the ball and could do it. For left leg, was either 0 lbs or 10 lbs and fewer sets.
- tried some balance on the upside-down bosu--it was hard, but improved fast.
- lat pulldown (I think mostly 70 or 75 lbs with a few 80, but couldn't do that many reps)
- hamstrings curls--30 lbs individually, 60-70 lbs both legs, several sets
- more balance stuff

Walked to and from campus, foot hurting a bit walking but not the worst. Was tired today!

sitting-down ski erg today bc feet still recovering. Mostly pain-free walking today though, so hopefully recovers quickly! Head iffy towards the end of this, but nothing I'd call definitively a "headache". So that's good :) HR stayed low without trying too hard.

Highlights:

- First time doing 60 lbs (dumbbell) bench press since undergrad! Warmed up with 40 lbs and then just did one set of 5 at 60 lbs after. (HR was up my that point and was frustrated waiting for it to go down.)
- Also first time doing 40 lbs right-leg RDL, ever :)
- And some pain-free 20-lb goblet squats
- Tried some 20-lb bicep curls and it was a little too heavy

First walk in awhile yesterday, then walked to and from campus today, and my feet were hurting again... resting up and hopefully they're better tomorrow!

home stuff, a mix of balance, single-leg RDLs (8 lbs both legs), and some flying squirrels

Suuuuper slow again, but standing up. Feet felt ok till just before I was done. Watch beeped when HR went above 120.

Lifting again, watch beeped when HR went above 120. Head felt good most of the time, feet felt good most of the time. Knee hurt after a couple mini-sets of 20-lb squats, so stopped. Super busy time to be there!
