Why did you even join Strava?I did a long, high altitude bike ride yesterday with a ton of elevation change, but I left my garmin watch at home.. it feels like it didn't even count

So in other fitness news, the wife is now a full on crazy crossfit person, down 20 lbs since January - I think she just wanted an excuse to buy new clothes... but as I mentioned in the past I have gotten suckered into going to the "partner workouts" with her, usually 2 times a week, I buy a punch card which gets me 2 days a week for about 2 months.. Last week on "partner workout day" the workout involved lots of running, it was hot out and the wife didn't want to do it and cancelled at the last minute. I didn't get "the memo" and I got to partner with a nice young lady, super fit, cool crazy arm tattoos, a little scare looking, id totally buy her a house if you know what I mean.. (she was also way above my fitness level) for a fun workout consisting of :
1) rowing a mile - each partner does half a mile
2) running a mile while switching off carrying a 20# "wall ball
3) followed by another mile on the rower.
yes it totally sucked..
But we were the #1 scoring team for the day, meaning we finished ahead of all the other people that day.
The next morning my wife was at the "box" and this gal was also there and was talking about how funny I am , and how strong on the rower I was ,and then yeah I have been getting shit from the wife all week for this. Oh your funny with Aimee? Oh you can row hard when you partner with Aimee!
Jesus F'n Christ- I wasn't even supposed to be here today!

I need a beer.
Man, these innuendos are getting really weird...
Sounds like a killer workout though!

Something about eating a grape?
I do totally dominate on the Rower - but suck at most everything else they do...
One workout was just how many burpees you can do In 15 min? I was just like why am I doing this to myself?

Turns out that having pneumonia still isn't helpful to overall fitness. However, I hit my second weight loss competition goal and the running is getting back to somewhere. However, any kind of physical activity then causes lung pain after, thanks to ongoing inflammation, and I'm exhausted. It's a weird balance that I'm not sick, but I'm not well.
your wife will think twice before canceling next time!So in other fitness news, the wife is now a full on crazy crossfit person, down 20 lbs since January - I think she just wanted an excuse to buy new clothes... but as I mentioned in the past I have gotten suckered into going to the "partner workouts" with her, usually 2 times a week, I buy a punch card which gets me 2 days a week for about 2 months..

not sure if any of yall use this or not, but I have been using the kiosk thing in the pharmacy section at our Kroger. It looks like a blood pressure machine but it also checks your weight and has a set up to check your % bod fat. I've been logging in about once ever 2 weeks and its cool to see that data change.
I believe its called a higi - & of course it has an app
Helps my brain when I am not losing a lot of weight but losing body fat % makes it all seem ok!
