June has been quite the month. Like most Junes before it, it started with the end of May. But then a difficult May. So, on what looked like a random Saturday (coincidentally the 1st of June), I did a workout. And another one the next day. And again.
It was all unplanned and just kind of happened, but at the end of the month, I'd done that for 28 out of 30 days.
Nobody cares, but this is what I did:
1 June: Run (5km), 25 mins + Bouldering, 2 hours
2 June: High intensity interval training, 35 mins
3 June: Weight training (back & biceps), 45 mins
4 June: Weight training (legs), 45 mins
5 June: Run (9.3km), 56 mins -> This one was a surprise, because I didn't want to run and it was 10:30PM, but it felt weirdly good and became my longest run in 1.5 years
6 June: Weight training (chest & triceps), 45 mins
7 June: Weight training (full body), 1 hour
8 June: Bouldering, 1 hour 55 mins
9 June: Run (6.5km), 38 mins
10 June: High intensity interval training (light weights), 35 mins
11 June: Weight training (legs), 50 mins
12 June: Run (11.7km), 1 hour 11 mins
13 June: Weight training (shoulders & core), 45 mins
14 June: Weight training (glutes & core), 50 mins
15 June: Run (8km), 52 mins
16 June: Bouldering, 2 hours 10 mins
17 June: Weight training (full body), 1 hour
18 June: High intensity interval training, 45 mins
19 June: Run (8.5km), 54 mins
20 June: Rest -> Attended an all-day conference 1.5 hours away
21 June: Weight training (full body), 50 mins
22 June: Bouldering, 1 hour 40 mins
23 June: Run (8.2km), 52 mins
24 June: Weight training (arms & abs), 45 mins
25 June: Weight training (glutes, hamstrings & back), 55 mins
26 June: Run (12.5km), 1 hour 18 mins
27 June: Rest -> Felt like shit
28 June: Weight training (full body), 1 hour
29 June: Bouldering, 2 hours 40 mins -> Hadn't done such a long session before, but I was taking it easy because Michelle was with us and suddenly it had been almost three hours
30 June: Run (6.6km), 41 mins
And now that June is over, what has changed?
Nothing, really. I'm a bit stronger now and a slightly better climber. I messed up my left wrist two weeks ago and am on the verge of messing up my right one. My knees are doing okay and runs feel mostly good. I weighed 62kg with 24% body fat at the start, and now weigh 60kg with 20% body fat, but it fluctuated between these values for the whole month so I expect these numbers mean nothing to me and will continue to rise and fall with every measurement. I'm craving sweet things, but I always do that. And those two days I took off were tough, because they were tough days (not because I took them off).
What is the message? Maybe that it's okay to do some things unintentionally. Or at least be intentional about being unintentional. Something wise and profound like that.
Okay, that's all. Bye.
