Welcome to this week’s edition of Friday Thoughts, where I share what’s been on my mind. Let’s get into it.
Thanksgiving Hours
Just a reminder, GAIN is closed on Thursday 11/27 and Friday 11/28.
Training Ramblings
Operation SkiErg has begun! What’s that mean? I needed a conditioning thing to focus on and to give my training some structure. The plan is to get on the SkiErg in the garage at least a couple times week throughout the winter. I’m using the same system I use for running, which is 3-types of workouts. Short intervals, anything 30 seconds to 2:30 minutes. Long intervals are typically 4-8 minutes. Then occasionally I’ll do a tempo or stamina workout, like a 5k or 10k.
I’m mostly hoping that I won’t have the issue on SkiErg as I do with the bike and rower in a cold garage; frozen butt!
November Challenge
For Time: 100 cal Concept 2 BikeErg
We already have 20 names on the board! I know we’ll get to 30, but can we get 40?
Winter Meal Time
I need this soon.
Lord of Chaos
I’m nearing the end of the 6th book in the Wheel of Time, Lord of Chaos. I’m reading a library copy and man did they cram lots of words on every single page. Nearly 400,000 words! Such a great book name. My favorite WOT-ism (so far), “Elayne dodges my questions as if she has a pocket full of figs and doesn’t want to share any.” Or, “Thom had a snore like a wood rasp on an oak knot.” Also, Hulk.
Thanks for reading, see you in the gym!
