Today I slept in and then procrastinated about rowing by sitting and chatting with my better half. When I finally got around to rowing, I decided to compromise with the part of my mind which was being reluctant and limit the distance to 6K instead of 10. That seemed to make it happy.
One positive result of the procrastination today was that it resulted in me fasting longer than usual, since I’ve been restricting myself to only breaking fast after rowing. I’ve heard (in some lectures) that there are some repair jobs and other good things that the body’s mitochondria only do after a person has been fasting at least 12 hours. Another person said those things start to happen after only 11 hours of fasting, if a person works out. So today’s workout was done before breaking fast after 18 or 19 hours.
As a result, I feel like a new man. (Just kidding).

Happy rowing to you.
