I’m turning 30 in 3 years and am so far off the track of what I thought life’s gonna be, that I am quite sure I’m going to have more than a few thought shuffles.
However, life is no computer game and it’s not following a stringent logic.
Sounds to me like you’re actually doing pretty great. If you want to do more, do more. As long as you’re not missing out on enjoyment, I like those life assessments and following adjustments.

This is akin to saying “Aside from winning the lottery twice, I haven’t made much money”.
Raising a good future human is a massive undertaking. Doing it twice even moreso. You’re doing the world a lot of good by populating it with good citizens. Don’t forget it.

@T3hPwnisher thanks man, that means a lot.
@Koestrizer maybe it’s an element of midlife crisis or something, I don’t know.

@ChongLordUno kind of. I was already convinced that strength work matters and that conditioning work matters. I’m now convinced endurance work matters.
Work for today:
5 rounds:
5 TBDL @ 105kg
600m run
Notes:
- Wanted to run and wanted to deadlift, so I did. Forgot how light the Kroc deadlift program starts.
- Breathing is still not 100% made the runs trickier than I’d have liked.

I do not think this can be overstated.
Every 50/50 call of go home or spend more time at work developing a career is that much harder.
Treading water while raising kids.

That sounds better, yeah.
Work for this arvo:
30 minutes of interval running. Tried to push the pace a bit on the intervals to make up for having to take breaks. Mostly coughing up crap.

20mins running.
Not quite the same spring in my step I had yesterday. A few knee pains on downhill sections.

That’s your body and subconscious telling you to stop running.

This is your body signaling you to stop running.

@boyce79 running sucks but being old and unhealthy sucks more so lesser of two evils.
@Cyrrex I get where you’re coming from, but the running was good yesterday, it was the bits inbetween that weren’t.

Notes:
- All sorts of supersets and stuff going on here. Too lazy to figure out a usable notation to describe them though.
- Press was unpleasant today, lots of neck pain and light-headedness, maybe a lingering after effect of the plague.

Maybe so but 50kg x 12 is pretty good.

I was secretly pretty pleased with it.

If I’d known you were going to do that I’d have stuck 50 on the bar instead of 47.5 yesterday!

Yeah, was gonna say that was pretty good. Now I won’t say it.

Quite suprised that with minimal training, illness and a pretty serious calorie deficit, I still seem to be gaining strength slowly. I’ll take it.

- Mentally struggled today, but to my surprise nothing felt especially heavy or difficult. Everything went pretty smoothly. Some of the earlier Squat sets where not pretty, but technique seemed to sort itself out as I got to weights where it needed to be better.
