Put together a miss mash bodyweight and band whole body session. Not ideal as Anja's house doesn't really have anything solid enough to attach a band to, but it worked.

Finished off with HIIT. 7 minutes of burpees then 5 m bear crawl. 10,9,8 etc burpees, then 30 seconds rest. Felt pretty hard but HR still not that high.

Red eye to Copenhagen last night. Am getting better at getting some rest on these flights (being exhausted helps I guess!). Took a nap at my Air Bnb, was woken up by two adorable girls under the age of 8 who managed to converse with me in english about where their dog now was (the countryside, with my host), then went for a run in the rain. I always forget how much I love running in the rain. It was great. MIC was easier today, maybe the lack of heat, but also probably the tiredness. 25 minutes feels a bit limiting when there are new places to explore!

Conference all week now but the schedule is as hectic as I choose to make it, which may be not very. Lots of fun sounding things but not much totally relevant. I came to network about going home, not really sure where that aim stands now! Jen and Pete are coming to share the Air Bnb from Monday, really excited to see them!

Arms workout. Found a good weight on some exercises, still a bit light on others. Felt good!

1. DB bench press, 4 x 8, 20#

2a. Bent over BB rows, 3 x 8, 55#
2b. Standing DB OH press, 4 x 8, 20# (tough)

3a. Push ups, 3 x 8
3b. Tall kneeling band lat pulldown, 3 x 10, 6# (cable machine)
3c. Front plank, 3 x 4 x 10 second holds

Worked late last night to finish the library preps for the huge experiment, because my brain couldn't get up another day and have to face doing them! So took it easy this morning - baked Rob's no knead bread (delicious) and washed some clothes for the trip. Then did MIC run into work. Wasn't moving very fast at that heart rate. It was warm.

Full strength warm up, then a 9 minute EMOM of 10 kettle bell swings. Technique still needs some work, it's been a while. Used a 20# KB, still felt a bit light as HR didn't go that high.

Had to do the workout #1 at work. My library preps are now finished! Whoop! Two days of tying things up then off to Copenhagen. Used 2 litre bottles as weights. They're not really heavy enough, but the workout was still remarkably difficult.
