I still haven't full recovered from the COVID I had mid-September. Cardio tends to be rough.

I still have most of my strength though and I'm starting to regain some stuff I lost to the foot and shoulder.

The plantar faciitis still isn't quite healed, but I can now to Olympic lifts again. I'm still not running, jumping, or doing anything that requires bouncing on the ball of my foot. It is healing, just very slowly.

Fast squats are causing my calves to tighten up. Given all the other issues I've had with tendonitis and alike, I think I have weak calves and I should work on that.

I can kick up into a handstand again, which has been nice. I can swing from the bar again too, though my shoulder still hurts at night.

I had the smoothest set of wall balls in a very long time yesterday. These challenge my knees, ankles, shoulders, back, and a few other things, so having a good set means a lot of things are working well.

Mirror Lake

When driving to my mom's house in Shirley, Ma, there was a sign that said "Mirror Lake." We looked into it and it is a swimming lake. The summer got away from us, so when I saw it was going to be 80 degrees this Sunday, I suggested we check it out. During the season it is $10 per person. They still allow swimming at your own risk off season and the parking lot was still open. We parked, walked down, and it was lovely. There were just enough people there to assure us it was fine and we went wading. The water was cool enough we didn't go in very fast. The sand also ended in some moss or plant that we didn't feel like stepping on, so we were limited by how far in we wanted to go. We both, very briefly, actually swam.

It was really nice to go when it was no cost and not crowded. There was low expectation. I don't think we'll go during the season for a few reasons, but it is nice to know what's there and that it is there.
