Every day I try to row 4,000 meters (slowly), it's a sort of meditative thing. I have a rowing machine in my study which is over 15 years old now, I think... still rock-solid, the Concept II.

In January I had the flu (despite having a flu shot) and missed over eight days which I had to make up in subsequent months. In May we traveled somewhere and I didn't plan ahead.

Anyway, 1,460,000 meters rowed in the last year, right on schedule.
