Shannon...I am so proud of you! I now check the Ducks team page to see what new weight loss number you have in your profile...it's almost as much fun as seeing if I'm getting my meter output any closer to Ellen's!<br /><br />What are we all doing in February to keep this momentum going?? <br /><br /...

Way to go, Robin! That's quite a week! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

This is the week!<br /><br />Open up your heart, set the goal, then row, row, row for your favorite Katrina-relief charity.<br /><br />My goal is $1 for each 1,000m, and am aiming for at least 75,000m.<br /><br />I hope you'll join me, and please share your results on this thread.<br /><br />Make th...

Dear C2 Rowers (this is open to ANYBODY who would like to participate),<br /><br />I assume that when most of us sit down to row, we have a strictly personal goal in mind: general fitness, weight loss, cross-training, training for competition, impressive meter accumulation, etc.<br /><br />For one w...

Thanks for posting the link, Byron. Inspiring...

I joined you guys today, for 30-minute Thursdays, and managed a PB in the process...7105m. I spent the next 30 minutes cleaning lung tissue off the rail.

Juliet,<br /><br />I completely agree with Linda. I'm converting a weedy, clay soil backyard into an English cottage garden...by hand. I learned the hard way that if I didn't stretch out before and after (especially focusing on my lower back and shoulders), I was a dead duck the next day. 'Child's p...

Dear Dude,<br /><br />From the C2 home page, go to 'Challenges' under the 'Training and Logs' section. You'll see 'Million Meter Clubs' as an option, which will give you all the info you need. Basically, you fill out the entry form, row, and submit an email to kcc@concept2.com when you've completed ...

Hot diggedy dog! I just ranked a 30-minute piece...6936m. I improved by 100m over last season. And the weird thing is that I'd been on my feet for a 16-hour shift at work yesterday, I hadn't eaten anything yet, and I wasn't really trying to do anything fast when I started out. <br /><br />I wonder w...

My latest PB is that I just joined the Ducks team! Had a little codependency thing going on and didn't want to abandon my other team (U New Mexico), but the reality is they don't need my meters, and I was missing that ever so important girl-support!<br /><br />I'm off to a bit of a slow start this s...

Geez, I'm out for a week...flu/cough/something...and come back to find that Sue had the same idea I did a few weeks ago...starting a women's team. Great job getting it off the ground!! (My suggestion for a name was going to be 'Team Estrogen', although we'd have been borrowing it from the bicycling ...

Don't apologize, Paul. We'd also love to hear from guys who want to brag about their girls...

So...what've you got to brag about?<br /><br />Maybe it's a faster time or longer distance. Maybe you erged every day this week. Did you lose a couple of pounds or drop a dress size? Maybe your cholesterol is lower, or your blood sugars are under better control. Perhaps walking up that flight of sta...

I've always worn cycling gloves when I erg, and seem to just get the segs without the having to go through the nasty blister stage. <br /><br />I'm happy to be called a wuss . I'd rather be a healthy wuss than a sick or dead one. (Open wounds on hands are great entry points for some pretty nasty vir...

TLC,<br><br>Bravo for keeping fit during your pregnancy. I'm a labor and delivery nurse, and have lots of anecdotal evidence about levels of fitness and stamina during labor...no brainer, there's a direct correlation. Unfortunately, a lot of women let exercise go by the wayside during pregnancy.<br>...
