On Tuesday morning I did a round of the strength routine and then joined Joe for a loop of the harbor. The weather was mostly cloudy but the air was pleasantly cool after a few muggy days.
Yesterday I did a 60-minute paddle in the harbor and on the river, warming up and doing three 8-stroke sprints and then paddling relaxed with a couple of surges.
My right wrist has continued to hurt this week. And since yesterday my right forearm has been sore. I don't know if I did something during yesterday's paddle to irritate it, or if maybe it happened while I was swinging a machete around Wednesday afternoon, trimming some brush behind my building. Whatever the case, I hope it's a temporary soreness rather than a real injury. I looked at some anatomy diagrams on Wikipedia in an attempt to identify the muscle, but they weren't clear enough to be helpful. I think it might be part of the extensor group.
I'd feared the sore muscle would be a major impediment to doing another round of the strength routine this morning, but it turned out not to be so bad. I felt it the most during the front and lat raises.
