The Hour of Power

Rowing to nowhere, for an hour, I covered 14,661m this morning.

I had to convince myself to back off the pace, and it was good that I did, I was hurting after 45 minutes or so. My low back, in particular, was in some pain. It stopped when I stopped, though. In that sense, it's similar to the pain I feel when I drive a car a long distance or tried to sit in a tatami room and enjoy a meal (not enough sake' to ease that pain). I just am not meant to sit like that. It may be the biggest challenge in my marathon pursuit. I'm going to try bubble wrap on Thursday.
