Ok, I see a few familiar names still on here, but I have to admit I haven't been around for over a year. Just erged tonight and the monitor says it has been since April 12 of 2007 since my last workout. Wasn't totally inactive, I did some running for a few months there, but that dropped off late sum...

Woolsmith, thanks for the thoughts. I did rest it a bit, and tried again tonight. Did a 30 minute row, and a 1155 (8 mins or so) cooldown. It gave me a niggle at the very end of the 30 minute row. I was at a medium intensity for me, so i backed it down a bit. Seemed to do the trick. Will see how it ...

Is there a place where the team rankings are for the JVC? I've not been helping out much ya'll. My knee is popping on the rower. Tonight i did 300 meters :( and my knee felt like it was sliding out of place on the knee cap? Gonna see how it feels tomorrow. Only place it hurts is on the rower. I have...

Happy New year ya'll! WE're growing quickly, aren't we? Hopefully we'll keep stroking away, and it will be a "shrinking" year for me. :) I did a very short row of 3126 this morning, will do a longer one tonight. Lots of rain last night, and I need to get to a few things like a slightly flooded dirt ...

Welcome to all that have logged in, great resolutions all! How's it going so far? I've done two rows earlier this week, took yesterday off, and am heading to the rower now............... ETA: I did a 34 minute workout (34:37.8) of 6,030 meters. Slowly but surely getting back in to the swing of things!

Not sure what JVC stands for, but can I join? I'll send my info as soon as i figure it out! My goals: Row 3-4 times per week. Cut out the McDonald's biscuit in the a.m. (not sure where that habit popped in, but its creeped in this past year). I'd like to hit my milion meters this year, but need to s...

Hi! I'm still here. Have been mostly lurking. Have hit the holiday illness doldrums. I have a very public office and work the front desk. No matter how hard I try this is the time of year I spend sick. After the stomach thing that I had I was weak for a few days, and then just as I was feeling stron...

Woohoo! We've really livened up! Way to go gals! I did a slow warmup of 1016 in 6:47.2, then a 30 minute row of 5425, and then a slow cooldown of 1012 in 7:06.3 Woohoo! I felt strong! Hope I can keep it up. Purell is my friend right now, i can't get sick again! Gonna go log my meters and see hwere w...

Welcome Rachel! Great row. I think i'm out for the 100k challenge now too. I'm still gonna be in for the 30 minute every other day if i can just get and stay well. Stomach bug last night and today. :shock: Had to miss the office holiday party today, kind of bummed. Am eating soup and feeling a bit b...

Thanks grams! Unfortunately work is a really rough place right now. We're being reorganized, and to top it most people at work are taking massive amounts of time off to make sure they don't lose time off at the end of the year. I'm very behind. :( Tie that with the weekend job.... i may be stretchin...

Thanks Birdi. I am planning on going to the doc for a full workup soon. I've gotten auras before, but the temp blindness only 1x, and it freaks me out. I don't have headache meds, and figure i should get a prescrip for them. Always good to check the BP and all. Rough week at work may have affected t...

Been out of comission for a few days. Lots of catching up to do, starting tomorrow (Sunday) morning. I started with a UTI, then sinus infection, then mini (2-3 hour) stomach bug, finished it off with the mother of all migraines yesterday afternoon. Got my auras, my headache, and then blindness in on...

Thanks, I'd missed that. Will check into it soon.

Not there yet, so no real insight, but you may want to consider getting your doc to do a baseline bone scan. By staying active you can help hold osteoporosis at bay, but always good to know if you're progressing that way. (my best friend got it in her 20's and didn't know to look for it until her mo...

Crazy weather for you NW gals! I miss snow, so have fun with it for me, ok? (Carolina gal here.) I'm so bad at remembering the tighten your abs thing, and my back is a tad bit sore tonight so i'll try to remember tomorrow. I'm feeling a little under the weather tonight, may be short row tomorrow if ...
