Special Workout Today

[Profsmith3]

It was a particularly notable row today, but boy was it a perfect row.

It wasn’t a special milestone date spent on my rower. It wasn’t a record time or distance. It was just another day rowing away for an hour or so. But it’s ordinariness was so very special in a curious day. When it was over, I realized how exhilarated I felt I am pumped but also humbled that while there is so much misery afoot in the land because of this terrible disease, I am thankful that I am privileged to feel so alive and well. I know that this virus strikes irrespective of age, gender, race, or physical condition. What we do on our rowers, bikes, etc. is no vaccine and offers no particular poultice against its ravages. But if we have to be shut away from people and places we love, there is a comforting lightness of being when we set down upon that hard rubber seat, buckle our feet into the pedals, grab onto the handle and take a virtual trip to the virtual environs that our machines carry us to.

Thank you Concept2 for the respite I get every day from feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. Without the magic carpets you provide, it would have been a very different year for me and I sure for many others.

Very true and I wholeheartedly agree
