Earlier today, my husband told me we’ll be going back to Boston again this October to compete in the Head of the Charles regatta. Our double had been waitlisted and finally rose to the top of the list. We’ve been doing some hard workouts in it this summer, going down to the boathouse to row after work even when it is broiling hot. So, we feel that we are well prepared.

I’m going to enjoy not having much to do over Labor Day, other than our usual Saturday and Monday workouts (every Sunday is an off day in our training plan). It should be nice and mellow. Wishing all readers a good long weekend of just being, also!

Nurturing Thursday was started by Becca Givens and seeks to encourage self-nurturing and to “give the planet a much needed shot of fun, support and positive energy.”
