Another 10K row

Note: My Start Walking posts can easily be found by clicking on the label Start Walking 2008.

Besides doing measurements, my big thing for the day was a 10K row in one sitting. This is the fourth time I've done a row of this distance or better, & today was my best time for 10K: 54:31.5, a good three minutes better than I'd done it before. Mainly, I think, due to fewer interruptions, but I think I'm also getting better at pacing myself. All to the good: I'm planning on participating in the Concept 2 Global Marathon Challenge between April 16 & April 30. I'm not going to be prepared for a full marathon, which is for the same distance as a running marathon (42,195 meters), but I'm quite sure I can complete a half marathon (21,097 meters), which at my current pace should take me in the area of two hours.

Progress today: The 10K row, a minor bit of walking, & a cool glass of water got me 17,112 steps or their equivalent. My cumulative steps (or equivalent) for this first week of the 2008 Start Walking program total to 121,072.
