Find a mountain bike and do the exploring on that.
Hiking/walking is kind of a workout for calves I think.
Maybe short walks 10 - 20 minutes for a start could be good.
I’ll go with the Thai Massage

Everything moved alright, squats felt a bit heavier than they should have (probably because I squatted 2 days ago) but moved alright.
Tried cooking a parma today, turned out pretty good.

Sexi calibrated plates. Nice
Nice pics. I’ve just browsed a few of your posts. Are you finding the journal keeping keeps you motivated? Any advice for someone that’s just starting a journal? Keep up the good work
Cheers mate.
I find the e-journal helpful because I’m prone to losing note books lol
Checking out some of the other logs in the section (looks like your doing that anyway) normally inspires my lazy arse to work a bit harder.

Depends a bit on the goal of the log.
If you just want to keep a log you can easily browse through to see you progress, just log set and reps.
If you on the other hand like some interaction with fellow lifters put in some thoughts and maybe a question here and there if you are in doubt of anything.
In the first post a bit of background and some stats. If you have a goal put it there with a description of how you’ll get to your goal. Then you can revisit the first post now and then to update to new readers.
Sunday workout:
Log press: 18 @ 60kg
10 @ 65kg
5 @ 70kg
Pause squats: 5x5 @ 140kg
NG pull-ups: 2x10 @ BW
Supinated grip BOR: 10 @ 60,80,100,110kg

Notes:
Pressing went well but anything that involved my back felt a bit heavy, so basically squats and rows.
So last day of work is Wednesday, then I’m off to Melbourne for a surprise party and Christmas celebrations (so basically eating/drinking more than is sensible)
might rearrange my workouts to suit.
