A Win For The Mind?

The heart and mind frequently have differences to settle.

Happily, today’s workout turned out to be longer than what was “agreed on” in yesterday’s imaginary conversation with my heart/subconscious.

Up on the mountain it was. Out of reach and trying to dictate that today’s workout should be a brief 200 Calories on the SkiErg and a couple 1,000 meter rowing pieces.

Rather than follow yesterday’s suggestion, I spontaneously opted for not 200 but 201 Calories on the SkiErg. Not much difference on the SkiErg. But then that was followed with not merely a couple 1K rowing pieces, but a full 10,000 meters on the rowing erg.

Right after the 201 Calories was done on the SkiErg, I decided to row 10K before something changed my mind and got right to it.

Along with deciding to do 10K, I decided that the pace goal would be 2:15 or a little faster.

Yackey-yacking with the heart and/or subconscious was avoided today and neither of them seemed to make a fuss. Perhaps they were sleeping in?

The resulting pace for the 10K rowing was 2:14.7 and it felt good.
