Off.

Not feeling great, but better than I was feeling toward the first part of the year. Just still fatigued.

I have been feeling pretty rough mentally. Since I quit drinking in 2024, my mental health has vastly improved (no suprise there), but every once in a while I hit a slightly rough patch, Being sick and a drastic reduction in exercise hasn't helped. I also have a minor surgery scheduled for later in the month and that means 1-2 weeks off, and I wasn't really planning on that. Bought a light therapy lamp and it seems to actually help a bit. Worth a try anyway.

4 x 10' Tempo

A little workout to see where the system is at. 237-245 watts and my HR was 157-167 average, which is very high for tempo watts.

I got a Concept 2 rower at least a month ago and it has been assembled and between my trainer and treadmill, but I haven't used it. Today was the day. It's a very solid and efficient workout.

Failed Workout

Workout was too hard for coming of sickness even if it was a little bit ago. Fitness has dropped off dramatically as well. I wasn't super thrilled, but should not have been suprised.
