Max asked me how I was doing against my target of 1 million metres on my Concept2 rowing machine this calendar year. Well, the marathon helped to get me back to a week behind target, but as I type I am 31,000m behind the “pace boat”. In laymens terms (and at my snail like pace) that means about 2 hours 15 minutes of rowing. So if I do a 10,000 for the next four nights in a row I will be in the right sort of place. But 10,000 is a long way – and three in three days is hard work. Graphical progress against target below (courtesy of my OpenOffice.org spreadsheet):
