Notes:

* I discovered I’m actually rowing so hard that I’m moving the rower across the floor of my utility room.  I scooted back and almost ran into the water heater.  Only I could travel in a stationary rower.  I may put down a mat underneath to prevent this in the future.  

* I’m basing that 25 seconds off of that average run time for master’s sprinters for 200m I looked up.  For the first round, I thought it was a little too short, but by round 3 I discovered it was a good amount of time.  I can really throw effort into it for that short chunk of time, and get my heart rate up and lungs burning.

* Time on the rower has been good to let my stress fracture and plantar fasciaitis heal up.  And I’m getting in that pulling volume.  Which was also the point of those follow on chins: VERY sub max, but racking up some daily volume.

* I woke up surprisingly sore.  My lifting training is still having a novel stimulus effect on me.  Nice to feel that way again.

* Yesterday’s evening walk got a little compromised.  My 15 year old pug had a medical emergency.  They’re doing well now, but it was concerning for a time being, and we rushed them to urgent care, then got in a little walk while they did some bloodwork.  Came away with a bunch of meds.  Stress was a bit high from that, Valkyrie and I went to bed early and passed out.  Was happy it was my day to sleep in.  Still got in my 10k steps though.

* Tang Soo Do is on the agenda for tonight.  

* Noticed a night and day difference in my physique last night from the carb refeed and healing in general.  Wild how it works.
