Good god did today suck monkey ass.

I set the Concept for 10,000 meters in some vain thought that I actually had 10,000m of effort in me. Not a chance. I was dying after only cranking out 2,000. I should be happy initially that I was grinding out 2:05/500m at the beginning but the bottom totally fell out of that one after the first few minutes. The remainder of it was done about 1km at a time, with breaks to gasp ineffectually as I realized just how bad I had let myself slide by not rowing the last few months.

Then I did some lifting with physical therapy in mind. Yay me. I suck.

This is the most embarrassingly slow erg I've done in a long, long while. I suspect having the remnants of lunch as I cranked away on the C2 probably didn't help either. That's just one exercise I really need to do on an empty stomach.

Maybe I should shift away from running as erging also addresses some of my physical therapy requirements.
