Sweet! Well done, K2.

After a 3 month break :shock: I'm quietly sneaking back onto the boards. Had a nice summer--lots of hiking and a trip to the UK to see family, and attend a wedding. The erg was a little dusty today, but worked like a charm. And good news--since beginning this fitness adventure I've lost 10 lbs. Glad...

I need to come up with a different plan. It took 2 hrs to make 15K today, and that my friends is depressing. I am totally over adaptive rowing.

Thanks

Thank you, Pat, Chris, and Barbara, for your tips on avoiding wrist soreness. :D I will give them a try. For those of you who need encouragement, reflect a little today. If you set goals that are now out of reach, please don't give up. Stuff happens. Reset your Challenge goals to a more realistic nu...

Wow!! Way to put in the meters!

My busy work week is over, meters are uploaded (no half marathons this time, Kona2).

My wrists are a little sore--does anyone else have this problem?

Nice job everyone, way to row! Looks like we moved up a place in the ranks for the January challenge (last time I looked).

I have a busy work week ahead...I'll be rowing, but probably won't upload meters until later in the week.

Row swift, stay healthy & happy.

Thank you for the warm welcome, LUNA-TICS! I began rowing several years ago while working as a river guide. Years went by when I had neither boat, nor erg--just happy rowing memories. In October, 2009 I bought my model D, and have been enjoying it ever since. It's been a great exercise solution for ...
