I see I'm just in time for the apology bandwagon--who knew there was one passing by? No excuses, just....life. Anyway, I've entered a total of 40+K today which was not all rowed today--only 14 k; the rest I just never got around to entering since my efforts were so sporadic. But all that has changed...

Last week I had started to give up on 200k and then I unpacked my pins from the last 2 years. I think I may make it. -Angela P "...and then I unpacked my pins." :lol: Oh man, you're not alone. And it's not like it's made of gold, either. Or that I look at them other than to toss each new one into t...

Thanks for your well wishes Bobbie. I am definitely being 'careful', brownies honor. I hope you are feeling better as well. Now that I'm rowing at the gym, with no distractions from TV, I've been paying more attention to technique. Part of it comes from watching the PM5 monitor on the watt graph and...

Hi Angela: Please put me down for 200K for the seasonal challenge. I sincerely hope to make it and will try very hard not to whip myself for not doing more as in years past. One must adapt to one's life changes :evil: . I forgot to post yesterday, but I did row my first 10k for the challenge (I woul...

Hello--here I am creeping out from under my rock... . I haven't posted any meters since the end of July and since Angela prodded me with a "hey...where the hell are you?!" note (in much friendlier tones) I realized I better 'fess up to how little I've done in the last few months. I had yet another i...

Heather R, I was wondering how you were. I was wondering if you were giving me a headstart. We all send good cheer and hopes for a speedy recovery to you and anyone else who is suffering from injuries or ailments. We have 2 months in the books for this season. I'll post season meters and an update ...

I'm back...and have just logged in my results from April 24. Not sure why I couldn't get those in, but early in May I crashed the bicycle I had just bought a week before and broke several ribs and messed up my knee, ankle, elbow and assorted other abrasions. So I couldn't row for a long time: I made...

Welcome back to our Hummingbird! Heather, which model do you have? Also, what kind of gloves do you use? I have so many blisters. Hi Angela: Sorry to come and go like that; I was being overambitious trying to row at that point. Still, I got at least another 15 K in before the end of the challenge (...

I finally cleared enough space in my new flat to start rowing again...and saw that it's been about 3 weeks since I last rowed. Wow! How time flies. Having had such a break though, I had a chance to remember how hard rowing actually is :lol: . And I got a blister for the first time in forever: time t...

Sorry I'm not able to put in my usual metres; I'm in the process of moving yet again so it's a matter of needing to put my energy into packing (and wrestling boxes and suitcases out from under the house--oh my aching back!). Then there's the increasing shortage of space... I'll be able to row more c...

Welcome Andreas! Yes, please join us for the team challenges and also, as Jim said, to our affiliation for day-to-day postings (or monthly/ yearly postings ....in some cases; life has its ups and downs for all of us). It is really quite amazing what fellowship occurs in this humble little site, with...

Just passed 2,000,000 Lifetime Meters this morning!!! Congratulations on the 2M lifetime metres! Well, I've met my season goal this morning, leaving me with another day to earn more for charity...or so I will tell myself tomorrow morning when I ask myself "to row, or not to row?" :lol: All the best...

I'm going to have to reduce my Xmas season goal to 450 k; for the first time in years, I'm busier than usual this Christmas (nothing to do with Christmas however, so I may yet reach a goal of NOT gaining 5-10 lbs! :P ). Sorry to hear about your pinched nerve, Jim. I used to get that too when I didn'...

Good luck to all in the challenge--and to Jim in his endeavour to not gain 5-10 lbs over the season :lol: . Actually, I concur wholeheartedly. I was doing well at weight loss over the summer, but have slowed down (as one does with less to lose: those last pounds are the hardest. Blech!). 'Tis the se...

Hi there:

I'll commit to a goal of 400K in the challenge. All the best to one and all,
Heather
