Me pulling hard

Today I sat down to take a little row. And my little row had me sweating in no time. This is my first real exercise since Friday, when I rode nearly 36 miles from my work to my home. I actually didn’t feel too much of my ride today, which is good, but there is some residual soreness in my neck and upper back. Nothing 30 minutes of rowing shouldn’t take care of, right? At the end of those 30 minutes, I had covered 7246 meters. My time for 5000 m was 19:43. All in all, a good row. I also found that magical pace that I could do all day long. Right now, when I settle into a nice groove, I run about 2:14/500m. Not bad, but definitely room for improvement. And since improvement is the name of the game….
Additionally, I will be riding in the Tour de Cure with a small group of friends and family. It’s a fundraiser which helps battle diabetes, which my dad is currently afflicted with (Type II). To find out more about this fundraiser and to get involved with the tour near you, check out their website at http://tour.diabetes.org/.

It’s shaping up to be a fairly busy cycling year for me, as well, as I am planning on at least 4 separate rides, with a possibility for 3 or 4 more. Should be fun…
