I use http://tickerfactory.com to chart distance. It's pretty easy.

I saw a PT for chest wall pain a couple of years ago. In addition to a list of stretches/exercises for my upper chest and back, she recommended icing my back. She said that my upper back was having problems and that this was radiating to the front and causing the pain I was having just over my left ...

The UK site has an Interactive Weight Loss Programme at http://www.concept2.co.uk/weightloss/interactive.php . I have more fun with varied workouts, so I got myself a 20 week program to follow and even in just the couple of weeks I've been doing it my times have moved much closer to what they were b...

I really wish the team page had numbers on it to see where I am in the standings. That would make the team-member-comparison method of motivation easier. I'm trying to get my room in order so I can move my rower up here. I realized after a couple of workouts that where I have it is not working for m...

Random bits of information

My biology teacher enjoys telling us random bits of information.

Yesterday we learned what a myriameter is. It's 10,000 meters.

Now we have a new word for our 10ks!

I can third the recommendation for Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss. I've liked the three GAIAM yoga videos I've tried out (that one, Yoga for Abs (definitely a great workout for your abs), and AM/PM/Stress Relief Yoga).

I just joined, yay! No rowing today or yesterday due mostly to illness, but I'm on the mend and I hope to start my training tomorrow. I resolve to row 3 times per week using the Weight Loss Plan I got from the UK Concept 2 site. I only got 13 weeks worth of workouts so I start with a small-ish commi...

Heh! I like Down and Ergy! I don't know how we'd do the separation but I'd love to have a Ducks team this year. I didn't manage to do much for the challenge last year even though I was on the Fowl Play team (a vacation trip home ended with a death in the family which kind of threw me off). Team sepa...

I think this is great.

The only thing that could possibly make it better is some oars, but that might make it too busy so I don't know.

I will totally get one when these are available.

When I got my VO2 test, they gave me the heart ranges it would be best to train at and what my AT heart rate was. We got these done periodically in the training program (PMax on the C2 website) and they were great training tools since the program was set up to use them. Depending on how much informa...

I lived in a one bedroom and found it pretty easy to store my D in a corner when not in use. I didn't even take it apart (my ceiling was just high enough to accomodate it), I just sat it on it's end when I was done.

I even moved it from room to room when I needed to and it wasn't a problem.
