So it's hell week. Basically a bunch of different, presumably harder, more mixed up and random workouts with different themes, and different set ups and rotations. This one was called pulse, probably because of the unrelenting pulsing squats. Also "run for your life" because the poor people that started on the tread block basically stayed there for 35-40 minutes. While I only ran .38 miles, I rowed easily over 6000M. The poor souls that started on the floor did Pulsing Half Squats and burpees for a full 20+ minutes. So, everyone had a different workout, depending on where you started today.

I didn't get a bike, so I started on the rower.

3G PULSE

Rower and floor switched back and forth. We were doing work when the treads were running and transitioning while the treads had their walking recovery.

PHS = pulsing half squats.

90 sec row for distance
75 sec PHS
1 min AO row
45 sec PHS
30 sec AO row
45 sec PHS
1 min AO row
75 sec PHS

Then back to rower. This was straight rowing, no switching. We didn't have to do a recovery row. We were allowed to stop.

90 sec row for distance
1 min rowcovery
75 sec row for distance
1 min rowcovery
1 min AO row
45 sec rowcovery
45 sec AO row
45 sec rowcovery
30 sec AO row
45 sec rowcovery
45 sec AO row
45 sec rowcovery
1 min AO row
1 min rowcovery
75 sec row for distance

Then we stayed on the fucking rowers, switched with the Treads.

90 sec row for distance
75 sec run for distance
1 min AO row
45 sec AO run
30 sec AO row
45 sec AO run
1 min AO row
75 sec run for distance

Then for the last 90 seconds of the class, we switched again, back to the floor, for 90 seconds of PHS.

And so it begins. Hell Week.

So. We're going to be getting solar panels on our house $$$$ ((And)) we're going to be replacing ALL OF THE WINDOWS on our house $$$$$$!!! I am infinitely afraid of being house poor and not having money to travel and buy new outfits and do all of the fun stuff I like to do. ALTHOUGH our current windows are so bad we can feel the outside wind on the inside. This is bad. Solar is modern and will eventually save money as well. I don't know. Seems like a lot of cash outlay and I'm NOT all about leverage, so setting these things up on payment plans is causing me great consternation.

So. Knee was feeling pretty good last night and this AM... decided to be cautious and ride the bike. That was OK, but there were lots of squats and leg stuff today and I felt it "catch" toward the end of class. I think I'm OK, but whatever. More of the same shit, different day.

Well we brought him to the vet and he does not have a chip. I know from the last time I tried to find his owner (when he still had his whole tail and all of his fangs) said owner does not exist. People on various Facebook "lost pet" pages said they saw him around here and there but no one could say for sure, and no one claimed to be his owner. Furthermore, no one reported a cat like him missing.  His demeanor and his condition lead me to believe he was SOMEONE'S pet once, but I have to think that was quite a while ago. Like at least 6 months ago. His tail is now missing and his front left fang is chipped in half, so before he got injured any further, we made the decision to get him off the streets and keep him. He's our pet now. (Lucky fucker. I'd like to be MY pet) Maybe in another lifetime.

He's between 2-6 years old. No idea how long he's been outside, but he's almost 14 lbs so he's not starving.... that's a lot of birds and squirrels to eat. He's solid feeling and so very very friendly. My guess is he had a network of homes all conned into feeding him, and he made the rounds daily. I don't know why he stopped coming to us, or what made him come back, but I'm glad he did. Molly and Quentin will have to adjust... We're going to do the introduction carefully and correctly this time, which means a lot of time will be spent sniffing each other through closed doors. I am glad all of my hours spent watching Jackson Galaxy will finally be put to practical use .

Meet Freddie:
