Hi All,<br />thanks for a good month, ups and downs notwithstanding. It's great to have a supportive group to rely on.<br /><br />Grams, I'm game! Need to work on a resolution tho. <br /><br />Jeff, great job! Keep up the good work. Nice to hear your prioiritizing that soccer game (from one committe...

Hey,<br />good luck Gene, and Grams! Just remember we'll still love you no matter how much you row...and we're just about encouragement not guilt! For me, it only works when I row for myself. I can use our team as inspiration, but it's really up to me. Why else would we be Naters?<br />Grams, what y...

Hey Carol, we'll miss you! Hope you heal up soon. I agree with you on the 'just do a little bit' method for dealing with difficult days. For me it works to say to myself, "just do 10 minutes, and then you can ____." Some days I better stop at 10 minutes and keep that little promise or it won't work ...

Wow, Gene, nice 1/2 January results, that's great!<br />It's really inspiring for me too, although I have no previous totals to compare to.<br />I've had a disappointing week in rowing terms, 15K off of my goal of 50K. I know I need to expect more complicated times like this, but having this team ma...

Hey you guys, it has been a tough work week here too. Just doesn't seem to stop! The frantic friday drive home was in full gear, had to take the back way and it took almost 1.5 hours, what a waste! I'm glad you're hanging in there Gene, you are motivating me to keep going - I finished a row last nig...

Hey grams, <br />thanks for the encouragement -to row, and not to row. I think it is important to figure out where to draw the line with being sick and especially to not work out sometimes.<br />Had a bit of a bummer of a day work-wise, even tho I was telecommuting today. Our daughter fell on black ...

Thanks David and Dougie and Grams and Erika for the helpful input. You all are helping turn a bummer of a work day (11 hrs) around!<br /><br />Jeff, Awesome job getting under 8, I'm happy for you. I think it's a great time for 6 weeks at it. I've been sticking to distance for now, but dreaming of th...

Hey Todd, I'm replying but can't be much help, sorry in advance for a redirect, but at least it's a quick reply! You might want to check on some of the other parts of the forum too, like FAQ. There are also lists of times in ranking, I found it very informative to see where my times fell in comparis...

Thanks for the insights of a 'millionaire', Grams, you are inspiring! It's funny but true that the small things are motivators, I like hearing about your mug/glass designation. [That cozy lunch sounds pretty terrific, too!] I'm hankering for the HC t shirt about now!<br /><br />Weightlifting gloves ...

Hey Gene<br />CONGRATULATIONS!<br />It's so awesome you broke the 2million mark! Sounds like summer and early fall is difficult for a lot of people. Glad you're back. <br />The HC is what motivated me to start for real, after rowing a few handful of times before. It is very motivating to have you an...

It's great to hear that everyone is rowing (no matter the distance, and the cat can wait (oakydaisy)! - I often have a 'watch cat' when I row). I especially like hearing how you are challenging yourself - that's what motivates me most, to try reach my own goals. Nice to have comparisons, tho, but it...

FYI <br />Here's a link to that article I found interesting, about The Heart Muscle<br />"A revolutionary three-month plan that will help you put more strength -- and more time -- in your ticker" from the articles section of this forum.<br /><br /><a href='http://www.mensjournal.com/healthFitness/05...

Hey Todd<br />Cool karts you have there. It'll be interesting to see how rowing will affect your racing in a positive way. <br /><br />I bet you'll get to work with that cousin on your heels. Not that the work isn't important, but do remember that brain power is more than half the battle, and brain ...

Hi Grams and everyone, <br />thanks for the welcome to the team! <br />Managed to row over an hour past two days, altho I'm working the long slow plan I read about on an article linked to C2 site - to build heart infrastructure. So my distance isn't what I'd like - well, another reason to love this ...
