Brilliant results as seen by an outside person. Awesome!

MorningTime!
1.5 min each of Let’sRowV2, Mountain, GLL
The stack for the foreseeable future. I’ll cut out GLL for the actual challenge portion of Rowvember. Keep the scripting input tidy and focused!
No major updates. I suppose that is alright. Things continue apace at work; some days are real good, some days are good and busy, some days are just busy.
I did get the urge to do Qigong as I was getting ready for work yesterday, so I followed through there.
I (sigh, finally) figured out that my AuraBoost custom turns muh whole stack into aura, not just boosting the auric scripting of whatever I’d pair with it that day. I am considering a “ResultsBoost” custom with NResultsE core.
I did see a student yesterday wearing a Tshirt with the word “Spartan” on it and I knew that Let’sRowV2 was arriving that day, and I was correct in the knowing.
Feeling warmth in my torso after listening. May just go row today.

3 min each LRV2, Mountain
1.5 min GLL
Looks like 30 seconds off last time! Well, just about. Still…Woooo!
Dessert pizzas went well the other night!
Also, of note: A club on campus asked my permission last week to use my name for a pin/button design. I saw it last night! Better than I expected. It will apparently be sold at the Homecoming table lololol.

Yesterday’s listening:
3 min each LRV2, Mountain, GLL
Today’s row:
I had to scroll back in my machine’s logs to last November to find the last 10k I rowed! Too long!
I wanted under 45 minutes, goal achieved!

Are you ready for Row-vember?

I am not.
Something is different this year. I feel no sense of eagerness for the upcoming month. I’ve been trying to get back into a good rowing schedule. Last week was a step forward, this week a step back. I find it increasingly difficult to get my ass on the rower and to do the work, and I just feel tired. The 10k rows I did were ok, but my hands go numb around 7k meters and it’s a struggle to finish it out.
It’s been weighing on me this week. I’m at the conclusion that getting into rowing was yet another hyperfocus autism interest episode, as what I’m currently feeling (a gaping void within whenever I think of rowing) is the same as the other interests in my life that I’ve had, HemiSync Gateway Experience for example. I know spending time in the Focus states is good for me, but I rarely do it.
So what to do? I know there are some outside expectations that I participate in it. I also know that if I sign up, chances are pretty good that I won’t perform as I want to, and it would end up being another failure. The possibility exists that Oct. 31 or Nov. 1 I’ll wake up in the morning, charged up and excited to get on the rower. It’s also possible that I’ll get up those mornings feeling nothing, or dragging ass.
Instead of bemoaning my fate, I’m trying to strategize around my nature. That might look like setting a different goal of rowing instead of doing the maximum possible.
I’m trying to figure it out. Thanks for asking!

Perhaps there is another exercise that might be even better for you that you will be willing or able to do it without either extreme of hyperfocusing or feeling unmotivated.
