    The good news is I had a dermatologist appointment today and one mole on my back that my primary care physician was concerned about. The Dermatologist said "it's an old man spot, totally harmless"!

    So, I didn't have any excuse not to do this month's CTC (Cross Team Challenge) workout -- my indoor rowing club's monthly challenge against other teams from all around the world. I'm a true "boat filler" right now, meaning I'm so slow I'm simply filling a spot, but it's a good benchmark of progress.

    The row was 12 X 1' sprints, with one minute rest. I think I averaged 1:53.2 or so. Not putrid, but certainly not great. Did a 5K warmup and 1800m C/D to total over 10K for the day. On the bright side, the HR came down under 140 on every interval, a great sign, except that last two (where it dropped to around 143 or 144). My HR gets up to around 190 something still, so it dropping that rapidly is great. I'm getting fitter, just not much faster.

    Roughly 920 calories for the hour workout.

    Rowing today again! What a shock. Today was 38 in my yard. We had a low of 27 last night, lowest Tucson has seen in years. We normally never get under 32 degrees. So dressed up in my old Ohio running long sleeve tech gear!

    Really nice recovery row. 11.8K meters in an hour @ 18 SPM. 2:31.5 pace. Wasn't concerned at all with pace, just HR. Never got over 143 and barely over 140 for 2/3 of the row. Around 780 calories burned.

    Chancing a digression here: When I was out there a few years back for the gem shows, it hit 18 degrees F overnight, at that time a record low for the date. Water mains froze, flooding some intersections, and that water then froze, under the car-wheels of people who don't expect ice, and some of whom have no idea how to drive on it. Parts of the city lacked natural gas for heating, because the pressure in the system dropped too low under the demand. It was colorful.

    Since I should be back on topic:

    Monday I did what I jokingly called a "micro tri-Ann-thalon": A little walk** (only 2.5 miles), a little lifting (high rep, low weight, upper body push), and a little machine rowing (only 2 x 10 minutes).

    ** I had to take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather, mid 40s F ( <== note contrast with Mike's locale ;) ), and sunny here Sunday and Monday for what seemed like the first time in weeks (and was pretty close to being that in actuality). So much gloom this year! So, I walked outdoors both days.

    Tuesday was spin class, and a massage (which is of course not exercise, but it a nice thing for the body in its own way ;) ).

    Nothing yet today, planning a repeat high-rep/low-weight/push thing again later, and might machine row, dunno.

    @ Ann - glad you got some nice weather now! It's gem show week here now! All the locals are grumbling about the traffic! I'd like to take it in this weekend if possible. Supposed to be amazing.

    Sounds like a plan going out and getting in some sun! Your weather will suck in two weeks when I have to come back home for my stepson's wedding. I'm sure it will be subzero and 3 feet of ice just in time for me.

    Today was ITC day (intraclub, as opposed to interclub on Tuesday) challenge. 30 minute row @ 20 SPM (strokes per minute). Because the rate limit, HR didn't reach max, but was sure up there. Did 2500 Warmup, then the 30' row @ 2:15.7 (I think), then a 1500m C/D to go over 10K for the day again.

    1.25 hours climbing

    This was a great session. I got just about everything.

    I have also done a bunch of steps. I am on 23,000, and likely to get another 2,000 before the end of the day. (There was a suspect car outside work, so the office was shut all morning as the Bomb Squad did their thing . I went for a walk.)
