7.7 km hiking
5 push-ups
Touch the Bar: dead hangs - 1x wide + 1x shoulder-width grip to failure
Posture: 2x Dragon Protocol
2-Minute Abs: Day 1
2-Minute Mobility Challenge: Day 1
Fit December: Day 1
Run Proof: 3 sets
Glutes, Quads, Hamstrings, & Calves: 1 set
11 min. yoga: strength flow in the a.m. with some down dog to planks and bandha chargers, followed by jumping to forward fold, halfway lift, and ending in extended mountain. Restorative in the evening: I did sphinx pose in between sets of Run Proof, plus some supported bridge after, to stretch out my unhappy digestive tract.
This should have been a running day. The weather was mild enough. But I was too tired before eating my second meal. (I ended up having an afternoon nap.) And my second meal created digestive unhappiness that would not have been fun to run with, that has persisted through the remainder of the day. So I gave myself a break on this one.
No Aikido either as my friend who usually drives us both was too tired to go, and I was too tired to hike there and back (5K each way) plus do the 90 minute class. (Also: it takes 4 hours out of my day if I have to walk there, and that's just too much.)

I did only one set of Run Proof, since FD was more of the same exercises this day.
Calf raises for GQHC were done one-legged.
I'm still struggling to run. Shelby has to have her walk first. But in this weather I'm either overheated and tired due to being overdressed by the time we get back, or I'm cold and don't want to go back outside again. This day I actually felt fine after our morning walk. But it was a sunny day, and all of my sunglasses that would stay put on my face for running have broken. But I do want to be out there. I will find a way to make it work!

I felt tired during the run. Eating in caloric deficit is making running hard. (I think. I need to get my iron levels re-checked. But I don't think the tiredness is that.) My times are going to be slow for a few months now due to snow and ice underfoot, and the drag of wearing multiple layers of clothing. But this is okay. Putting in the mileage is important.
Also: my right Achilles felt not great throughout this run. No sharp pain. And the discomfort did not increase. (Which, according to the last physio I consulted, means to keep going.) But there was definitely uncomfortable tightness.

"Taking a break from reading the check-in threads, but still doing workouts!"
Wait, there's an actual yoga pose called "up dog"? As in, "What's up dog?"

I am using yogi shorthand here. The proper name of the pose is "urdhva mukha shvanasana" a.k.a. "Upward Facing Dog".Wait, there's an actual yoga pose called "up dog"? As in, "What's up dog?"
Up dog is almost as ubiquitous in hatha (postural) yoga as its counter pose, "adho mukha shvanasana" a.k.a. "Downward Facing Dog".

* I did not double up on any of the exercises in 2-Minute Mobility, Fit December, and Run Proof. (Which is to say: 200 arm circles and 100 reverse lunges were enough! I did arm circles for 2 minutes non-stop. Then, after a break, I completed the remainder of the reps required for FD. For reverse lunges, I did I think 2 x 40 and 1 x 20. Then I did the other exercises in RP, but no extra lunges.
I felt tired during the run again, even though I kept to a very easy pace. My Achilles felt not great (not hurting per se, but definitely tight), which is why I did not push the speed at all. It actually felt better while I was running than before I'd started. So that's good!
I could not hold the plank for 2 minutes for 2MA. (My arms were baked from all of the arm circles!) I took yoga posture breaks between each exercise.

The push-ups, as usual, are going to be the most challenging for me. But I cannot not go for the dragon now, can I?

Lots of snow this day, followed by a thaw, followed by a re-freeze and more snow. Our first hike was very messy, climbing through a lot of thick and slushy snow, and I got my feet thoroughly soaked. I wore boots for our evening hike as my runners were still soaked through at that point. The air temp was colder, but the sidewalks had been ploughed. So that was an easier walk. My Achilles was okay with wearing the boots. (Not ecstatic. But okay.)
2MA was planks again. I superset them with FD sets. Otherwise I would not have been able to get through the quintupling up on arm exercises this day.
My goal had been to complete 20 ORNAMENTS sets this day. I pushed hard during the first half of my day and got all 20 done before 4PM. Took things a little easier after that, but made it to 30 sets total on the day. I'm looking forward to Sunday being an easier day as a result!
"ORNAMENTS" is a new mini for this week. One set = 5 push-ups, 20 jacks, 5 squats, 20 punches, 20 arm circles, and 5 kicks. I'll be tracking the # of sets I complete each day on the ORNAMENTS line. Total progress towards the Ornaments Challenge will be tracked below:
2025 Ornaments Progress
Dragon Crystal: 150/500 push-ups
Immortal Rose: 600/2000 jacks
Spellbook of Strength: 200/500 squats
Bag of Endless Gold: 600/2000 punches
Golden Apple of Agility: 800/2000 arm circles
Magic Sword: 150/500 kicks
I looked up my stats from last year's Ornaments event. The push-ups requirement was jacked up by 150% this year! (So it's not me being wimpier, feeling that 500 push-ups is a lot this year. Those of us going for that challenge are being called on to do 250% of the volume we needed to complete last year to earn a push-ups ornament!) The jacks requirement doubled this year over last. Kicks and punches both remained the same. The squats requirement is the only one that decreased, dropping by almost 17% this year over last. The arm circles are a new exercise for the event this year.
So to all the overachievers going for all the things: if it feels as if Ornaments is really testing your metal this year: it is!
(It will be worth it though, to decorate such a pretty tree, won't it?)

Lots of snow this day, followed by a thaw, followed by a re-freeze and more snow. Our first hike was very messy, climbing through a lot of thick and slushy snow, and I got my feet thoroughly soaked. I wore boots for our evening hike as my runners were still soaked through at that point. The air temp was colder, but the sidewalks had been ploughed. So that was an easier walk. My Achilles was okay with wearing the boots. (Not ecstatic. But okay.)

Wore my winter boots for our first walk this day. My right Achilles was mostly okay for most of it, but started screaming at me on the final block on the way home.
I took a slightly different tack with my Ornaments progress this day and began the day with push-ups only. I completed ten sets of 5 push-ups each before noon. Then I switched to doing my full ORNAMENTS sets. I completed my goal of 20 ORNAMENTS sets by 7:15 PM. Then I stuck with my other dailies--that do not involve push-ups--for the remainder of the evening. Now I'm on track to complete the push-ups requirement for my Dragon Crystal by the end of the day on Saturday!
I don't know what it is about being faced with a challenge to complete what, for me, is a very high volume of push-ups, that causes me to push myself to the point of exhaustion to finish said push-ups earlier than necessary. But here we are. And I feel a significant easing of mental stress, knowing I can now ease up on the push-ups (some) and still finish on time. Brains are weird!

Wore my winter boots for our first walk this day. My right Achilles was mostly okay for most of it, but started screaming at me on the final block on the way home.
I don't know what is going on with that tendon! My winter boots end right in the middle of the tendon. And the right one does not like it! Even wearing socks that end there, or pant legs that cinch there, bothers it. But so long as I allow nothing to press on that spot, everything is fine. So long as I wear shoes without a high heel tab, I can hike all day with no pain. I can run with no pain. If I'm barefoot, I can do anything without pain. This day, 5 minutes after taking my boots off, my Achilles had calmed down enough I was able to do jumping jacks without pain. But just the act of wearing socks with an elastic across the problem spot will start to hurt after a while--even when I'm just sitting still!
This presents a problem for winter hiking as prolonged time outdoors in running shoes in weather like we have here now leads to cold, wet feet, and risk of frost bite. And my winter boots, as I mentioned above, rub on the tendon in exactly the wrong spot. Then I remembered I own a pair of boots that do not put pressure on the problem area. I have Wellingtons that end just below my knees and are completely floppy over the entirety of my Achilles. I don't normally hike in the things. They have zero ankle support whatsoever. And they're not warm. But I can fit thick, wool socks inside them. And I don't actually need ankle support. I wear footwear to protect my feet from the elements, and to protect the soles of my feet from sharp objects. (And because people in Canada are wiggy about bare feet, and almost all indoor public places ban them.) My ankles are strong.
I wore my Wellingtons for our second walk this day, and my Achilles was so happy. Like it was saying, "OMG! Finally! Finally you understand!" My feet weren't cold either, even though I was wearing only thin socks.
I don't know how long the Wellingtons will stand up to the amount of mileage I do on city streets. And their uppers are so floppy, I don't think I'd be able to wear my crampons on them. (But if the conditions are icy enough to need the crampons, that likely means they're dry enough I could get away with wearing running shoes.) But, for now at least, I have a solution. I'll keep up with my calf raises (which, as long as I'm barefoot, I can do without pain--even one-legged) and ankle mobility work, and hope for healing before the Wellingtons wear out.

It sounds as though there is residual irritation of your Achilles. When you do your heel raises, do them on flat ground, not a step. Let that tendon calm. It's good you can run without an issue, but just let the poor thing calm down. No excessive rubbing or anything. Perhaps a bit of light desensitisation of the area with a soft cloth occasionally, just to get the area used to touch again. Take it easy and it'll heal up fine.

Thank you @TopNotch and @Mamatigerj .
I do. It feels good to stretch that area out. But I'm not doing any stretching under added load for now.
I am trying!
I massage the area with my thumbs. Which mostly feels good. (I ease up the pressure over the problem spot.)
Here's hoping! It's been eight months already. I caused the injury from walking. Walking is what causes it the most grief now. And I cannot not walk. But the issue really does appear to be the footwear. (Footwear that I wore for two winters with no problems, but that now I cannot.) Hopefully sticking with Wellingtons (and running shoes when I can) will help.

Hmm...
Fit December Day 13 includes 50 squats and 150 jacks.
If I up the squat jacks to 20 per set, FD13 would net me 100 squats and 200 jacks.
That would bring me to 500 squats in total. So I can drop them from today's ORNAMENTS sets.
Fit December Day 14 includes 200 arm circles. Plus Day 14 of 2-Minute Mobility will net me another 200.
Which will bring me to 2000 arm circles without any additional ORNAMENTS sets. So they can be dropped from that mini now too.
So today's ORNAMENTS set =
Hmm... again.
It's actually been kind of awkward to do sets with an odd # of kicks in them. Because then I have to remember from one set to the next which leg I did the previous time. (Which, yes, I realize is a tiny thing. My brain isn't so addled I cannot do it. But I'm already doing a lot of mental lifting in these sets to overcome my resistance to getting down on the floor to do FIVE. MORE. PUSH-UPS.) So why not give myself a break and just up the kicks to 10 per set?
Okay then. Today's ORNAMENTS set will be:
