Jim, there was a men's basketball game this past season that raised some funds for autism through T-shirt sales. I don't know how many folks purchased shirts but the stands were filled with white instead of the normal Cowboy gold! Company coming for Easter dinner tomorrow, so I'm busy cleaning & doi...

Woo Hoo, Jim! I see that you're on the 10,000 meter honor board!! Way to go!

What's that saying, "When the going gets tough, the tough get rowing???" People have to decide for themselves what they want from a team. I'm sorry that some have left TimbukTOO, but there are still lots of us left. I sure hope we can stay ahead of Team Canada in the university/club standings for th...

I love your enthusiasm, Russ, and hope it's catching. During the long haul of each season, my enthusiasm goes through boom and bust cycles. Being part of a supportive team makes the boom cycles more fun and the bust cycles easier to deal with. I find that the bust cycles related to physical injuries...

Thanks, Jim. I didn't notice the milestone because I've been more focused on my daily average. I don't know how long I can keep up this pace. I try not to think about it too much; just doing what I can. You're so close to the 10,000. Keep it up! So sad, all of my basketball teams have lost now, but ...

That's a good idea, Karen! I'm sure you've picked up speed as you've become stronger. Every time in the past two years that I've tried to pick up speed, I've injured myself, so for now I'm just focusing on getting the distance done. Let us know your results. Since I don't use the straps, my upper bo...

When did we pass Team Canada???? Last time I looked at the stats, I didn't think we had much of a chance.

Way to go, team!!

Man, did the first week of post season basketball go quickly or what? Didn't create a bracket so I didn't have one to tear up after KU's upset loss! Still rooting for KSU (men), San Diego State (women), and UWyo women (WNIT). Trying not to think about how much I need to row each day; just doing it, ...

I almost forgot... On the bright side, our Cowgirl basketball team has made it into the NIT! It should prove to be a great experience for them.

I haven't been online for a few days, so thank you, Jim, for giving me the heads up about being one of the March Madness winners!! I came down with a cold this past weekend, but made myself do my current minimum (10,000) each day. My stats didn't show that I rowed slowly, but it sure felt that it wa...

I'm finding that as I age, I am more easily injured when I try to pick up my speed. I am very slow, although I am putting some short sprints into each workout and it appears to be helping to gradually increase the number of meters rowed in each 30 minute session. I'm taking great care with my left e...

Last week was lighter regarding evening events and obligations, so fitting in the evening sessions of rowing seemed easier. This next week may not be the same. I'm already thinking about fudging on part of my goals. What I should be doing is figuring out how to use my time with the utmost efficiency...

Thanks, Pat, for all you do for the team as Captain!

Chili, you're way to tough on yourself! Almost 9 pounds for the second month, that's incredible! Even when I'm trying my best, I can barely lose 1 pound a week. It's that way with most people. Keep up the good work, and keep us posted!

Please, do join us, Stephanie! We're just about to start a new team challenge (March 15). Have had a couple of good days, so the the challenge is coming at a good time to motivate me to keep it up and finish the season strong. Why is it so hard to stay motivated??? I sure wish I could lose 12.5 kg l...
