The Fire Was Out

No fire, no steam.

Effort was made to do workouts today but they were done slowly.

Main reason for pushing myself to do work on SkiErg and rowing machine: If I don’t exercise I won’t sleep well.

Because of the desire for the “sleeping pill” effect of aerobic exercise, I burned 200 Calories on the SkiErg at RPE Level 1.

Energy for SkiErg was low, but energy for rowing was lower. After the 200 Calorie SkiErg session my subconscious suggested I take a break before doing any rowing. The break stretched out and extended in the dimension of time….

Realizing that my subconscious was trying to con me out of doing any rowing at all, I dragged myself to the rowing machine and set it up for a 10,000 meter session.

Some incentive to keep rowing was provided by watching a screen recording of a slow 10,000 meters session done February 24, 2018. I allowed myself a 1,200 meter head start before that screen recording began and prodded myself to stay ahead of it. By the finish of my 10K, I was still ahead of the screen recording but my lead had diminished to about 200 meters.
