ERRRGGGG

What is this torture machine doing in this pretty French house?

Well -- I am doing some sort of fitness (or lack thereof) evaluation. And today was the day I had to do 75 minutes on this machine. If you've ever used one, you know how awful that is. Normally I would do 2-20 minute pieces and think I had a great workout. And usually I do this sort of thing outside, but this morning it was raining.

So I did the 75 minutes to the music from the movie "Oh Brother". At the time I didn't even think of the title, but it is fitting, don't you think? And I'm still alive, but my back is a little sore.

In the end, though, I think I definitely have the mind of a rower. Who else would do this? The body of a rower is still a question...
