03 Sep 2012: Beautiful Sunday

Notes

I know it’s a Monday, but I had a great day yesterday (Fathers’ Day) and today feels like it’s going to be a good one too!

Good session at the gym this morning – broke the 20 minute barrier for the 5km row, which I was quite chuffed about. Simply focused on maintaining the rate at around 2:00 / 500m. As per usual, the actual rate was slightly under that, so the time was slightly less than 20 minutes.

Push-ups were painful and slow – I guess that’s what happens when you let a few training days slide… Spring is here now, and with it comes a new burst of energy and enthusiasm for training…
