[Food - but no real visible food] I did me some food prep! 11 burritos going into the freezer, and I still have pork left over from the 9lbs I slow cooked and had for dinner a few days ago, and still have another 3 pounds uncooked that I have no idea what I'm going to do with.

[Fitness - rowing] FUCK YES Sub 8 minute 2k was a goal and decided to run a pacing row today. Couldn't keep the sub 2 minute pace the whole way, but came in under the wire. Super excited to improve from here.

A screenshot from the Concept 2 app showing a 2000m row time of 7:55.5 with an average 1:58.9 average pace.
