This morning broke frigid, snowy, grey, with worse forecast to come.  I was not thrilled to get out of a perfectly nice bed to go exercise.  And looking forward to driving to Pittsburgh in the 'worst snowstorm in a decade' to pick up my daughter and bring her home for Christmas.  Four hours is good weather, who knows how long in bad conditions.  At least I had plenty to think about while I was erging - what emergency gear to pack, which route to take, how long to plan for.

Being focused on something other than rowing makes the time go by faster, but the intensity of the workout suffers as you can tell from the distances.  I still tried to pick up the pace at the end of each row and was able to make each one faster than the one before.  Today's distances are: 1- 4223 meters, 2 - 4274 meters, and 3 - 4283 meters - low, but still over my daily target distance.

Turns out that the weather in Pittsburgh is even worse than here.  But their storm should be over by 6am tomorrow.  If I leave here in the morning, the Pittsburgh roads will be cleared before I get there and my daughter can drive home.  Ten hours in a car with my daughter - priceless.
