Shaking the inertia

June 16, 2009

It is easy when you spend year after year working towards something and not seeing much forward progress to feel as though you are in a holding pattern. That is where I am, in a rut. There is no doubt about it. So, I am going to try to shake this feeling of inertia a bit and try something new, something which I’ve been thinking about trying for a good while now.

Starting in July, this is what I will be up to three times a week for four weeks:

I am going to learn how to row! Cool huh? I am very excited. I love being out on the water and it will be great to be out there exercising and watching the river wake up. It is painfully early (I have to be at the boat house at 5:45 am !!) but I think it will be worth it:

Doesn’t that look so peaceful?

    Very cool!! Who is the coach there now? You will LOVE it – it is such a wonderful sport (and way to see the sun rise every morning…)
