You can take the applied meaning of the phrase “just ducky” in reference to today’s rowing either way and you will be right. By “either way,” I mean you can take it literally in the most common sense or sarcastically.
Today’s rowing was partly used as warmup and rest activity during a strength-training, pushups workout. That part of the rowing was just ducky in the sarcastic sense.
The last 2/3 of the session was done partly to music and partly in synchronization with videos of people rowing. That rowing was nice, in the more common, non-sarcastic use of the phrase “just ducky.”
Below are screen shots of today’s rowing results and the strength-training session.
Below are the strength-training results. You might notice that I didn’t make any progress and in fact seemed to regress. I guess that was a result of taking a whole week off. I was really surprised – thought that taking 7 days off would leave me the same or a bit stronger, though I had no scientific or experiential reason for those thoughts except that I thought that the week-to-week, every day muscle-soreness which I’d been having ever since starting the strength-training indicated that my muscles never recovered from the workouts from session-to-session and that if they were given enough time to stop being sore, maybe they’d be stronger than if they were never given enough time to lose the soreness.
Guess I was wrong and a constant, low level of soreness is a good thing?
Happy just ducky rowing to you.
