Today, I was on the phone in one of those rare and precious phone calls again. And… like yesterday, had the deja vu experience of once again doing no rowing.
The phone calls are “precious” because they are so infrequent. They would be “precious” even if they were very frequent, but … I won’t say the rest because you can figure out where I’m going with that train of thought, if you board that train.
The phone call started quite a bit before the time I would have done my rowing and lasted until after I would have finished. As a result, there was no rowing again today. At this rate, it will take a marathon to make up the difference for the days of abstention from rowing. But … only if I abstain for one more day. As it is now, if I row anywhere between 24,000 and 30,000 meters tomorrow, that will make up the difference and bring me back up to the fuzzy-math zone of where I should be in average daily meters rowed.
Even though I didn’t do any rowing today, this blog post is categorized as “ethereal rowing” because every day, including today, has an ethereal element to it. Also: whether I do any rowing or not, there’s not a day that passes when I don’t think about rowing. Today’s blog post is also categorized as “Mentally absorbing workout,” because the phone conversation was quite a workout, from the mental perspective, and also very absorbing.
Happy rowing to you.
