It's not often that there are two benchmark challenges in one week and today's is one of the tough ones which was the 2000 meter row for time. My personal record was set back in July 23, 2020 when I rowed the 2000 meters in 7 minutes and 17 seconds. That was before getting COVID in 2021 and the car accident in 2023 so needless to say my best personal records for these challenges are much more out of reach than I would like to admit.
With all that said, I actually did it in 8 minutes and 3 seconds this morning which is better than the close to 8 minutes and 15 seconds back in April of 2024 when it was probably the worst time I've done it for all the years this challenge has been happening.
As I mentioned earlier in the week, I just want to make sure that I can run this Saturday before my appointment with the foot doctor this upcoming Monday and after that who knows how long the doctor is going to tell me to a break from my more intense workout activities. Hopefully not a long break because my workouts are a huge part of my mental health as well.
With all that said, I worked out today along with the benchmark challenge.
