Over a million meters in eight days is great! That's like , uh... uh... a whole lot of meters per day!! (I prepare taxes, so it's a good thing I'm not expected to know math.) Anyway, I think this team is doing really well, and I'm sure there are more great things to come!

I can't imagine not feeling worn out after rowing all the meters you have this challenge. What's been keeping me going is: 1) the fact that I know I can row 200,000m. for a challenge because I've done it before; 2) the knowledge that I can get through the holidays and winter months without gaining a...

I haven't been posting much lately(I've had a lot of tax classes to get ready for the upcoming season), but I have been following the posts. This rowing thing has so many benefits doesn't it--exercise, stress and sadness relief.... And it helps to be a member of such a supportive team. Thanks for th...

What a touching poem! Well, I've got my meters in for the day, so I'm off to eat almost all the things mentioned(tomatoes?)--plus, since we go to a Thai friend's for Thanksgiving, there also will be Thai noodles, and rice, and a whole salmon, and shrimp, and beef curry and.... Luckily, I know from h...

Great graphics and thanks for all the encouragement!

Am just back from two weeks in California without access to a rowing machine. I'll be here for about two weeks and then will be going on a cruise to Canada until September 6. After that, will be more regular in my rowing. I've read through all the posts I've missed, and I, too, don't tend to lose mu...

Wow! A dancing Snoopy! Thanks, Pat.

Pat,
Thanks for posting these stats day in and day out. Yesterday it was still in the high 80's at 9:30 at night, and I reallllly didn't feel like rowing. It was only the thought of not contributing to the team meters that got me going.

How did everyone do on their goals for the month? I didn't quite reach mine. I was hoping to row 320000 meters in both May and June since I'm going to be in Denver for part of July and Cupertino for part of August with no access to a rowing machine in either place. But, considering that I've had an ...

Dragonfly, welcome to the team! I don't know how much reading you've done on the various forums, but a lot of ergers like to pad the rowing machine seat with something. Concept2 will send you a free seat pad if you ask, and a lot of us also find it helpful to put a few layers of bubble wrap down on ...

Anyone care to share goals for the new season? I have two goals. One is to row a little over 3 million meters this season to bring my total up to 5,000,000 meters--I really want those socks and t-shirt. As to the other, I hurt my shoulder/rotator cuff in 1997 and have never completely recovered. Bec...

I also check in almost every day--even on days I'm not rowing--to read the messages and see how everyone is doing.

I just want to say that I really appreciate and am inspired by those who row consistently even if there is no challenge. Although I plan to erg less during the warm weather, I know I won't give it up completely because of Alison and Irv and Ryan and Mike etc. I really mean this--thanks and here's to...

Pat's been encouraging us all along for our accomplishments, so I'd like to mention one of hers. I know for a fact that she rowed over a quarter of a million more meters for NARC than she did for JVC, because I kept trying to catch her in January (with no avail). I also want to mention what a godsen...

Well, it looks like our fearless leader has passed the 4,000,000 meter mark! Even reading the number makes me tired. Congratulations, Pat!
