August 2023. Over here we are curb stomping one climate record after another.

In the past week I did three (3) strength workouts and I went running twice. Unfortunately I did not have my phone with me on my runs, so I wasn't able to track my speed and I can't tell if there is any improvement yet. When running I was overtaken by a madlad who must have been going like 14km/h for multiple rounds straight. I hope to one day achieve whatever he can do.

Anyway, this week went steady enough for me to lose all focus on tracking my lifts and runs, so I don't have any specific PRs to mention. I have more than a month left before competing in the trail run and I can already run 5km easily. It should not be a problem 🤞

How was your week?

My gym doesn't have parallel bars for dips, only angled bars and it's messing up my chest cartilage. So I found out that two treadmills beside each other actually have bars that are parallel. I'll let you figure out if I used them and will keep using them to make a case for parallel bars.

Blood to muscles makes brain dumb sometimes.
