    Temps hit 65 yesterday, I ran 8 miles in just over an hour and did a bodypump class. It was too much.

    Not really on topic, but playing a horn; trumpet, sax etc is really good for you. Good for the lungs and blood flow. I saw the sun ra arkestra play a few years back, all the horn players were in their 80s and played for three hours, smoking cigs in between sets. Actually every old jazz dude I've been around has almost seemed to defy age and be in good shape

      This makes me wonder what kind of exercises I can do (outside of playing) to give me more endurance/breath while playing the sax

    Was away in the countryside over the weekend, managed to wake myself up early on Sunday and do a 30k run along the country roads, it was beautiful and I was surprised how easy it felt (probably because of the smooth roads), so I sped up quite a bit over the last 10k and still had plenty in the tank at the end which was encouraging

    Came back and had a beer and breakfast under a tree in the beautiful weather, shit was great

        Definitely not casual! In training for a really hilly marathon coming up very soon and I've been kinda terrified about it cos my training has been pretty inconsistent due to life getting in the way, so I'm stoked to at least be hitting the distances I need on the long runs, even if I'm gonna end up being a fair bit slower on the day than I originally imagined

    I have been doing a workout every day for about 40 days now, with a break every 4th day. This is the most consistent my schedule has ever been!

    I'm making myself go for a walk for the first time in over a week (combination of weather + depression)
