Sounds romantic to me, Anne! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wub.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wub:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" /> <br /><br />Gene and I met the C2 Valentine's Day challenge. <!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro--><!--fonto:Comic Sans Ms--><s...

Hi Hanan24,<br />Congratulations on joining the forum. I am in a similar boat with you (get it? row boat? ) I've found the forum to be very motivating.<br /><br />I recommend you also take a look at the Weight and Fitness thread and within the Women's Forum, there is a weight loss challenge that sta...

I thought I'd do a little better than the time before and gradually work up to breaking 6000 by the end of the month, but I shaved off a lot more time the first week than I expected and surpassed my goal. I was stunned. So stunned that I didn't even think about my next strategy until now. <br /><br ...

At the end of January I devised a plan to break 6000 meters in a 30-minute piece by the end of February. I added "Tuesday morning Trials" to my weekly routine this week (I do like alliterations!) And on Thursday, I did my 30-Minute Thursday in 6014!! Ha! Now what?! <br /><br />Hey, I went to the Bea...

Shari,<br />Well, I looked again at the C2 Valentine's Day Challenge and it says it starts on the 9th - not the 7th! So, I don't think I will try to do 70,000 meters in that amount of time. I have to work and stuff like that! We talked it over, did the math, and have decided to just make sure we bot...

Well, I was down 2.4 pounds from last week at my weigh-in today. WOOT! So I had a net LOSS of 1.4 pounds in January. Boy Howdie! They were tough pounds to shed! I still have so far to go, though. <br /><br />[In my best Scarlett O'Hara impression:] <br /><span style='color:orange'><span style='font-...

Great! So far we have <br /><br />Robin and Gene<br />Canada Goose and Yukon John (upping the ante to 140,000 meters!)<br />Schenley and Jeff<br />Margaret and Bill<br />Doug and Shari (by PM)<br /><br />We start next week. I hope others will join us, too. It's good for the heart in so many ways!!<b...

My husband and I have been sharing his C2 rower since he convinced me to try it shortly after he bought it in October 2004. We have taken turns encouraging and inspiring each other to keep it going through many slumps since then. And we both just recently hit the 2 million meter mark! <br /><br />We...

I have felt that way for a short time once or twice. I imagine that someday this will happen and when I "wake up" I will find that I've done a personal best that I could never have done if I was over-analyzing as I usually do. Well, speaking of over-thinking things... I think that's what I do to fre...

Well, I lost 3.4 pounds as of last Wednesday's weigh-in. woo. hoo. <br /><br />If I seem less than excited about that, it's only because I had gained 4.4 in two weeks before that for a net <i>gain </i>of <i>only </i>1 pound for the month so far! <br /><br />So, I <i>just </i>have to <i>lose 6 more p...

Linda, <br />I've been wondering if taking a walk or doing something different might help shake up my routine. I'm usually a steady rower like Margaret but do like to try my monthly 2000 on the 20th (today!) and 500 on the 5th. If I'm awake and remember the date is coming soon, I will try to incorpo...

Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that I did a 1/2 marathon yesterday. I thought I was going to die in the last 1/2 hour. I was hoping my husband was going to come out and say it was his turn on the rower, but "curses" he didn't rescue me! I was coughing and filled up a small trash can nearby with...
