Everything finally came together for a row today. Although I've been off all week, it's been rather cold and windy so far. At least, colder and windier than what has seemed manageable. Our days have been starting out below freezing and almost warming to 50. More on the temperatures in another post.
I may have mentioned it in an earlier post, but it bears repeating on Thanksgiving. 2008 has seen a drastically improved work-life balance. This broke the downwards trend over the previous 4-5 years. I'm grateful that Kathleen stuck to her guns on wanting to try sculling. After our dock was built, I was leaning towards less expensive kayaking but she was steadfast. We've really enjoyed doing something together and being out on the water. And the exercise component has me back into an active lifestyle. Stopping my 3-4-5-a-week running schedule was the first casualty of the work-like imbalance. Through the good fortune of lake access, a shell dealer, and the rowing club in Charlotte, we got off to a great start and are self-sufficient in the activity. Thank you, Lord!
