100 Days of Ploditude

RE: 100 Miles of Ploditude
Day 2, and I've managed to keep my head above water with my two rowing 'miles' -- or 4K metres.

More remarkably, after this afternoon's throbbing 10 minute Erg blast, I immediately tottered down 3 flights of stairs, and continued to plunge down through the precipitous alleys of Horgen to the lakeside path, along which I waddled and panted through 3kms of blazing sunshine and unspoken derision (the Swiss reserve has some benefits), before heading back up the hill -- this time with no intention of trying any movement beyond a two-legged slither.

I guess we have to arrive at our own interpretation of the mile-a-day idea. Despite my Garmin's assurance that I traversed a total of about 2.5 miles, I've decided to think in terms of 'merit miles'. I can't fool myself, despite more than half a century of trying. And so I am awarding myself a solitary merit mile to recognise that (1 downhill plunge) + (3 stuttering kilometres of run-walk) + (1 uphill 2-legged slither) does not deserve more.

On a gloomier note, the hour or two I spent yesterday afternoon, smirkingly twiddling with my new spreadsheet, appears to have been a wasted effort. The result is nowhere to be found, so I must start again.

But here I am:

Day 2 running total --- 2 row miles, 1 run mile.
