Report on 3x10 2025 #30 - my 2nd

 Report for my 2nd 3x10 - which coincides with middle season 30 - October 21-30.

Just in terms of numbers... I completed something in the basement 9x, wrote haikus on 9 days (a total of 11 haikus), and did some kind of strength/stability training 9x.  The only day that I didn't do any of it was on a Friday.

Basement Project

finished securing lights to ceiling joists; removed all remaining aluminum drop ceiling supports; cut up longer aluminum and add to trash; vacuumed floor; cleaned up joists (remove nails, vacuum), watched videos on soffit construction and furring/strapping (called dad for his opinion on those things)

Haiku

I wrote drafts 7a-15b, a total of 11.  In the first 3x10 group, I did 6 days for a total of 12.  So... 24 drafts in October.  I'm going to keep plowing on.  I've been getting "restless"?  Desiring to do poems that aren't haikus.  

Strength and stability

during the last 3x10, I was trying to do some weights plus some yoga plus some strength.  During these days, I was usually able to do 2 things, not 3.  I have settled on focusing on foot exercises from Hinge health app (level 9 and 10 exercises in some sub menu) - forward step down, single leg RDL, single leg arch raises.   If I'm in the basement (often I am after doing the basement project 15 minutes) I do some upper body free weights -- curls, military press, small weights lifted with arms straight in front... If I'm not in basement, I'll do pull ups (by the end of this segment, I was doing 3x6 pull-ups).  For either place I either did single leg squats to a bench (can I do 10 in a row yet?  I think so... and then 2 more on a second set) or I'm doing bulgarian split squats.  On the last day, I did 2 sets of 10 of these on each side, which felt like I was making some improvement.
