PM: 50:00 erg, core, stretching
Concept2 Rower: 1
Patrick: 0
The picture above is both an ergometer (the Concept2 Rower) and brutal taskmaster. I have used this in the past for cross training, and every time I come back to it I forget how good of a workout it is. I always approach it thinking, "I'm sort of built naturally like a rower: sturdy back, big quads. This should be a piece of cake!" Thus, I attack with vigor, trying to rip the chain out with every stroke.
Inevitably, about 20 minutes in, my eyes start rolling back into my head as my entire body flushes with lactic acid. So I'm humbled. Again.
I backed off my early furious pace and got in 12k in just under 50 minutes, which was quite enough for the day. I did some core work beforehand and stretched afterward.
Real running starts again next week. No workouts yet, but I'm planning to incorporate some new things as I start back up again this week, including short hill sprints and...yoga?

"yoga" is the word of the week.
GRC yoga session in Bethesda at 7:45pm on Monday. BAIN, JARRIN and...KLIM (sigh) will be there.
I want pictures of Klim in a yoga studio. I need photographic evidence that hell has frozen over.
Stay tuned...I will post.
