I made a batch of lip balm today. The only way to get it with no petroleum in it. 11 tubes ought to last me awhile. I even remembered to put peppermint oil in it. I couldn't come up with my stash of zinc oxide, so it's sunscreen free for this round.

70 miles this morning and felt way better than I expected to. I’ve been stretching and doing push-ups every morning and I really think it’s been helping.
At the very end of my ride I saw someone on the ground looking hurt but they had a big crowd surrounding them so I didn’t stop.
It really sucks how fast you can get hurt riding a bike on pavement. I try not to think about it.

N+6**********? I’m tempted. Currently asking way over what BBB says it worth but if I can get it for the actual value I will be stoked.

I peeled apples and my mother made apple pie today. I peeled them like a boss since I'm so buff due to my rigorous weight lifting routine. The pie was delicious and ice cream and coffee may have been involved. This was all done in an undisclosed location.

I did 45 dead lifts today for the first time in a year. Supposed to do intervals tomorrow we shall see how that goes.
Wife has gotten into running. Super proud of her. She has never liked anything fitness related. She enjoyed cycling but not to the point of it becoming something. She told me today she wants to do a 5k race.
However, she doesn’t have good shoes and her knees have already started to hurt. She broke down today because she couldn’t run the last 2 days. Tomorrow I am taking her to a running specialty store and getting her fitted, also picking her up a new jogger stroller. Shhhhhh don’t tell her.

Can’t remember where I read it last year, but the article stated that the ‘average’ middle aged male should be able to do 40 pushups. Worked my way up to 40 and have been maintaining for 6 months. Added that to planks, free weights and balance ball for core strength. No more sore shoulders or back.

Apparently her obsession with running is about the same as mine with cycling. Work is my off days, rain is hers…
I told her to take it easy she just rolled her eyes.

When I prepped for my 5k a few months ago I only did 1 mile runs about once a week, then hiked up desert mountains 2 or 3 times a week.

Yes, but you are already in better shape than she is, she’s only been active about 2 months. She started with walking the first month, then tried running. She surprised herself, and me. She even bought a fitbit to keep track. If she does a 5k I might do it with her, but i’m not running before then. If I can’t finish that’s okay with me.

When I was weight training and wrestling I could not do 40, don't think I could ever do 20. Something about my back, maybe. Now, with 2 back injuries and shoulder surgery, forget it.
