…but at least it is a start on my exercise program. I still have a legitimate shot at getting down to a reasonable weight and improving my health before I head into retirement–who knows how long that will be. God willing, I would at least like to go until the end of September and at least a couple of years after that before I throw in the towel. For the record, I did five minutes, forty calories, and 809 meters. I remember the first time I rowed on a Concept 2 rower in College Station, Texas when I was 35 years old–I did five minutes, then, too. I honestly wondered how anyone could get past that first-time awkward motion and out-of-gas feeling to actually get some exercise on that infernal machine. But I stuck with it and actually got pretty good. I hope to do that gain at double the age.
