less vitamin M

There is surprisingly little to write about my rowing program. I have continued the program set up by row pro and completed most of the rows on time. My neck and shoulders have been very sore. I have survived with motrin (vitamin M) and a hot pack. It is getting better now. Tonight rowpro crashed 5 minutes into the row. I could recover the row off the log card and discovered that I could upload the meters from my warm-up and cool-down. A little boost to make 1 million meters.

I have only lost a pound or two but thankfully I have stopped gaining!

On the bright side

The goal of the rowing program was to get in shape and loose a few pounds. Have have gained 2 pounds. On the bright side I am getting better at rowing. 2:30 for 500m was about as well as I could do. Tonight I did a 20 minute row and averaged 2:22.8 sec/ 500m. Now, this doesn't even get me to the 50th percentile for rowing as ranked on the Concept 2 web site but it is good progress for a little over a month of rowing.

Not so good week

The wheels fell off my training plan this week. I made up my Tuesday workout on Wednesday but tutored a friend in physics on Thursday and missed another workout. Saturday I spent some much needed down time with my spouse. Sunday I said to hell with it and did Sunday's workout. There is no way I can make up the two that I missed. I did a 30 minute row which I ranked just for fun. I am 163rd of 230. It is a start.
