Well, things have been seeming to go pretty well lately. Food is good, workouts feel good, packing is going well, Claire is awesome… But I got up this morning and just wasn’t ‘on’. Napped a little on the train and found it hard to pick up much zap at work.

I was angling for some kind of a heavy squat and HSPU/press thing today but as the morning drew on it became increasingly clear that what might be a lot more helpful is to keep plugging away at the work, to recover a little today, have an early night and hit it hard again tomorrow.

Yesterday’s rowing work was really good. Hard in the head like bike intervals. Not as lactic, but more demanding on all over strength. There were a few times during that 2k that I just closed my eyes and stopped thinking about the finish.

I also chaffed my butt pretty bad. :0 That’s what you get for combining hard rowing with 40 degree heat and cotton boxers. Dude…
