7/4/2025 Independence day, Friday.
Ran 3.2 miles, 30 minutes. Personal distance record for this route. Walked the balance of the way home (about 1.5mi).
Wrist is still destroyed, can pull but not push. Typing and holding coffee is hard.
Its problematic for surfing too, can’t do the burpee thats needed to stand up on the board.
I think it took about 6 weeks to heal last time, and this feels exactly the same so here we go. I am taking some really expensive supplements but I have a feeling they’re just a rip off.

Such a bummer about your wrist, again!! Get a brace to wear for awhile, it might help manage the little stuff better (coffee carrying, typing, etc.) I’m sending lots of healing prayers and vibes for a speedy recovery!!

Sucks to fall and hurt yourself again mate. I have an old pair on thongs (flip slops) that are slick as hell too. After reading your story I am going to start wearing my new ones.

I had a great Independence Day weekend. A family trip to a different beach each day.
Friday I think was surfing, Saturday was boogie boarding, and today I did some paddleboarding.
All of it is good exercise.
First meeting of the day tomorrow is at 04:30 so I hope for a decent nights sleep tonight.
Wrist still pretty messed up but I’ll heal. Doing the gym tomorrow after work.

I have GOT to replace these. Been procrastinating on that for a while. I’ve used the same pair for many years and they are SLICK.

Had early morning calls, so no morning session - went to the gym in the early PM.
Squats:
5x135
5x155
5x175
5x195
5x215
DAMN I haven’t squatted in a LONG time. I was going to do a backoff set at 155 on the way down, and my left hamstring cramped up - NOPE! Could barely bend down to take off my knee sleeves. Need to acclimate before going ham on squats.
Several sets of OHP (BTN and strict) with an empty bar.
Two sets of 8 of:
biceps curls
Arnold press
With the 35lbs bells.
And some pullups.
Super quick session but that was it. Not feeling much else.

Ran about 2.5 miles at about 4:30 AM. Did not match the distance of last time, but I went faster I think.
Walked the rest of the way back with podcasts.
Wednesday’s surfing session turned out to be a date with my 9-yo son. So it was good physical activity, but no catching waves for me - I’m not good enough to catch the small waves that he needs to stay in. But he had a great time, so I had a great time and it was well worth it.
For any parents of multiples who may happen to read this - you need 1-on-1 time with each kid. It’s hard to do, esp with 4, but when you get it, it’s so precious.
