Today is a special day of celebration for everyone of Mexican heritage and which happiness they share with their friends and neighbors, no matter what their heritage.
Today for me was a strength-training/pushups session day. It was the 3rd session of the 8th week since starting strength-training with pushups. I did it like it was done the day before yesterday, and only did rowing as warmup for strength training and as a gentle activity while resting between sets.
Happy rowing to you.
Though it’s not my custom to celebrate Star Wars Day, this morning I was reminded about it and thus the title of this post. The above image was found at THIS SITE.
Today’s rowing was scheduled online less than 20 minutes before its scheduled start time, so it was no surprise that nobody noticed it and joined in.
It was a distance of 10,500m at a very leisurely pace.
Happy rowing to you.
Today’s rowing session was only done during times for either warmup before or rest between pushups sets. The reason for doing so was to keep the total time required to do both pushups and rowing down to a minimum. Previously, I had spent the time by walking for rest between pushups sets. By rowing instead, I got the same number of pushups and overall rowing meters for the day, but saved at least an hour of total time to do both.
Happy rowing to you.
Today’s session was a single piece of 10,500 meters at a leisurely pace.
Happy rowing to you.
Today’s rowing started with a 2500m warmup, then a pushups session and finished with an 8K easy.
Happy rowing to you.
Yesterday’s rowing was cut short due to other activities. Here is what was done:

Its a fact that vigorous exercise improves a person’s mood and the exercise doesn’t have to be extremely vigorous.
Today started with a 2500m warmup on the C2 and then a pushups session followed by an easy 8K on the C2.
Happy rowing to you.
Today’s main physical activity was to put another coat of stuff on the roof, which took a few hours. Normally, the air outdoors is fresh but while working on the roof, it smelled like paint for all those hours and I was glad to get back indoors and away from the smell.
As for the indoor rowing – did an easy session of 10,500 with a little sprint at the end.
There was a glitch in the session report generated by RowPro 5 for the Mac. It shows in the 8th split. But strangely enough, that glitch does not show in the split report displayed on concept2.com after it was uploaded to my online logbook hosted by concept2. (See the respective images below, to understand what I mean)
Happy rowing to you.
Today’s title relates to the dubious results for today’s pushups session. There seemed to be no progress at all and an actual reduction in the number of pushups compared to a similar previous session. But I forgot to take 3 minutes rest after the sets for which 7 was the result and maximum. Instead of 3 minutes rest, I only took 2 minutes rest. So it’s possible that the results would have been better and there might have been progress. Can’t do it over, so there’s no way this side of heaven and omniscient God Almighty for me to know the answer to that question.
In addition to the pushups session, I rowed 10,500 meters at a very easy effort level.
Happy rowing to you.
When I used the search terms “Ten K Rowing Online” to find an image for this post, most of the results were photos of JK Rowling, who is totally irrelevant. But the above image is nicely relevant, as far as the rowing aspect at least.
The 10K which I did today was indoors and via the internet but I had to row it alone because the 20 minutes advance notice I gave for scheduling it in the online listing wasn’t enough advance notice.
Happy rowing to you.
