1503 meters in 10 minutes, but seeing as I haven’t rowed since.. well, over a year I reckon, I feel super satisfied. I’m doing the Concept2 Valentine’s Day Challenge, which is to row 14,000 meters between today and February 14th. Back in the day I’d row that in a single session, but times, they sure have changed.
I’d done a huge house-keeping whirlwind organizing session this morning, and it just worked out that I concentrated on cleaning up all the junk that was around and on top of the rowing machine. Then I got batteries for the little onboard computer so I can track the meters/time that I row. Then I had lunch and was exhaustomundo.
I was sitting thinking: “I think I’ll have a smoke. Hm. Maybe I’ll row that 10 minutes and THEN have a smoke.” And I did! Two birds with one stone, too, ’cause I didn’t feel much like smoking after the row.
Yippee!

Yay rowing! I often have a hard time convincing myself to go to the pool for a swim but I’m always glad when I’ve done it. And finding a way to distract yourself from a cigarette craving is the best way to defeat one. You win! Keep up the good work
