I’ll delete the photo after you’ve seen this.

See full update in run post. I went straight to the gym after the failed run.

The music and people of the gym were a welcome respite from the introspective quiet of the night. They were even playing Daddy Yankee’s “Bailando Reggaeton” which = dancing across the gym floor to the cable machines.

A lot of things still make me sad, but overall it’s good to feel like myself again - I lost who I am over the course of the last year and 2 months (July 2024 - September 2025), and not in a good way. I had stopped being the girl that dances between sets at the squat rack and belts out songs at the top of her lungs in the car. I had missed her.

I added 4th sets to everything that isn’t an isolation/accessory lift. This will be standard moving forward.

Posterior chain: 1.5 - 2 min rests inbetween.

Cable rows 4 x 10 @ 66.

Lat pulldowns 4 x 10 @ 77.

Superset x 4:
1. Single-leg straight-legged deadlifts x 8 each leg @ 25 lbs.
2. Calf raises x 10 @ 50 lbs, tempo 3s up, 4s down.

This was super quick bc I had to get home to get ready for work. Fridays have been a clusterfuck that I really regret signing up for. (I’m just about done with Dr. Fry.) It’s one of the many things I had done specifically to allow for time with you on the days that you were available…
