Rowing in Distraction

A view at one point on today’s running path.

Today while I was doing the rowing session I noticed that my feet felt wrong.  So I focused on them instead of the baseball game that I’d been watching and noticed that I’d been so distracted when I got dressed for rowing that I’d put on the wrong pair of shoes and was wearing running shoes instead of the old worn out sneakers I usually wear for rowing.

So I stopped, removed the running shoes and finished the session barefoot.

The rowing session was 9,500 meters at an easy pace. Followed by more than 20 minutes but less than 30 minutes running outside. That combination, if the running is done on a warm or hot day, seems to be a good one for getting a good night’s sleep.

The big spike down on the pace chart is where I paused to remove the running shoes.
