:D Yeah Dixie! WOOHOO! Celebrate all goals and surely celebrate all lost pounds! I'm with you and Anna. I row for weight loss, fitness. I have lost near 50 pounds. Had some slides back and forth usually because I lost my momentum and drive. I just pick myself back up and go for it again. I still hav...

Cool, now you're a DUCK! Welcome and enjoy! You have time to practice and train for the upcoming Holiday Challenge. Great way to not gain weight over the holiday season.

Hi Kathy I tried to post a reply to you earlier but it's not here...sorry, glad I checked back, go to this area: http://www.concept2.com/sranking03/ch_new.asp and make a profile for yourself, way, way down at the bottom there is a place to put your 'affiliation' just type in 'ducks in a row' or scro...

Well now we got this challenge done suppose we'll drop this thread and pick up on another, I see a DUCKS active thread, will drop in there and see what's cooking. Great to see you gals, let's meet over there!

Yep, I think I did 33,826 if I remember right, just went until I had my 5k in for today so that's what it ended up as. Time to go out to dinner with hubby before he leaves me for 2 wks hunting. :cry: I'll get to row more then. :) I need to slowly push up to 6k/day then get up to 7,500 so I can make ...

Good job Gals! :D It's still morning here so I've not got to it yet, husband works nights so just got home and we've caught up with farm chores. He leaves tomorrow for 2 weeks hunting elk up on Mt St Helens. I'll row once he goes to bed for the day. Let ya know how I do later. Congrats on making it!...

I only have 2km to go :D and should have just done it tonight but I had been busy all day so had to wait until late and when my tv show ended I just stopped, going to bed. Well I've not even rowed for several of the challenge days so been double timing it all along, just a busy week and one day I di...

Hi Susan, I remember you from last year. Me too... haven't been using the forum lately and forgot how fun it is to 'belong' and chat with fellows. I get more motivated this time of year, now to make it stick! I did real good at the new season beginning... May. But then went over to the UK to see my ...

Anna, yeah can you imagine rowing at that level? Those top Ducks have to be averaging 12km+ per day with no days off to do that. Or MORE meters/day and some rest days! I have the upmost respect for that sort of strength and dedication. You go GIRLS! I'm working back into a routine and it feels great...

I hear you Mel, the 5km thing is a great habit and one that is do-able. I feel so good if I can stick to anything between 5,000-7500m per day with a rest day when I feel like it. I don't decide not to row a certain day of the week I just let it come with how I feel or what I'm doing. If I stick to t...

Yep, they seem a bit behind and that's not the usual here, I've never seen a challenge that didn't separately and automatically log your meters from that date until it ends... maybe they will catch up. I've been too busy to try to email anyone and I'm sure plenty of others have. I'm at 16261m for th...

I'm doing the challenge also but notice when logging meters in online log that the usual separate count of meters towards a challenge is not there. Usually below the total there will be in red the meters towards that challenge beginning on the date the challenge begins. I wonder who knows what's up ...

Kiwi; WOOHOO!! Way to go! Feels great, eh? Congrats! I still have time to row for today, not sure what I will do but just going to go for whatever I can to finish up, I've already passed my goal, this will be icing on the cake! Yeah for all of us who have reached our goals and Keep going, stay stron...

A work of art Grams!

I fully agree with the loose grip. I row mainly with my fingers curved around the grip, not actually the palm of my hand. I do get a little ridge of callous along my first two fingers just at the first joint but never blisters. If I haven't been erging regularly they can be a little tender for a day...
