A recap of my weekly workouts from the previous week.

We are getting close to marathon time! These last two weeks are going to fly by and it will be here before I know it. I have heard you are supposed to scale your workouts way back a few weeks before. I love working out so this is going to be tough for me. I was planning on working out yesterday and I was still sore from Friday so I just decided to take a rest day. I want my body to be free from soreness or muscle fatigue on race day. Does anyone have any tips for scaling back? What should I be doing and what shouldn’t I be doing? Did you feel you best on race day when you did this? Let me know!

Score is time finished minus # of calories rowed. We finished in 7:56 with 91 calories for a final time of 6:25.
