Scattered Clouds, High of 178

Decidedly similar is today’s to yesterday’s metaphor. But today’s metaphorical temperature of 178 is probably accurate because it is within normal range and was appropriate to the effort at the moment. (See screenshot at bottom of today’s entry)

Similar to yesterday’s photo, the lovely photograph above was found by searching for the terms “scattered clouds desert”. It was classified as “free to share and use” but I might as well give credit to its source anyway. It was found on the blog of a girl who lives somewhere in a desert. (You can see her blog site by clicking the link in the previous sentence)

Today’s workout burned 780 Calories all totaled. It was done in two parts and consisted of a 10,000 meter rowing session at moderate pace followed by a 200 Calorie SkiErg session also at a moderate pace. The moderate pace of the SkiErg session was spiced up near the end with a couple intervals of 10 Calories each. The second of those intervals is what stimulated today’s high of 178. (As mentioned in the first paragraph, see screenshot at bottom of today’s entry)

Recovery was normal and there was no episode of Afib blemishing today’s workout time.

However, Afib did join me for breakfast and it is still keeping me company at the moment (See above screenshot). Unwelcome company, but I don’t know how to politely or otherwise persuade it to depart. 🙂
