Like I said, some crazy good supportive self talk during that workout.
It was interesting. I was zoning out a little bit, about 25 minutes in. Sometimes I like to imagine I’m rowing on water while I use the machine. This was such a time, but it was different. The water was dark and choppy, and the sky was filled with smoke and fire. A voice ran out, “ROW! ROW FOR RAGNORAK AND THE WORLD’S END!” Gave me a boost of energy then, and I rowed harder.
Every so often after that for the next 10 minutes, I would hear “ROW!” in my head, often to the beat of the music. Around 50 minutes: “HOW WE DOING? 10 MINUTES TO GO, WE GOT THIS!”
At 55 minutes, my daughters came in to see what I was doing. At first they were giggling at my appearance, (I presume, earbuds and Vicetone playing) but gave me a cheer before leaving.
I hit 12k as my wife came walking in from church worship practice, and my hour was done. She got to see the final result of my saying “I’m going to row for an hour.”
Work was rough. lol
