WooHoo.....a new best time today. 23:34.9 in the 5000. I didn't even get on it with any intention of besting myself. I was just trying to get in a quick workout to get outside and help with the lawn since it's Father's Day tomorrow. You just never know where the motivation will come from.

I did my first half-marathon this morning, for the summer solstice challenge. It took me 1 hr, 48 min, 46.5 sec, but I was pretty happy just to finish. Now I've got to set my sights on a full marathon. I printed out my Summer Solstice Challenge Certificate and put it on the fridge, to motivate me to go for the full marathon. Maybe next month...

2k test today. 7:34 down from a previous pb of 7:40. Working towards 7:20 and getting there...slowly. That hurt a lot.

Hi Ducks,<br /><br />I just wanted to announce to everyone that I finally reached my first million today. I got up at 3:00 so I could get it done. I thought I had reached the million but after entering my meters I found I was about 200 short so I had to hop back on to get it done! Yoo hoo. I am never going to be able to announce any amazing fast times since I am not fast, so this is it for me. Thanks everyone for your inspiration from this site.<br /><br />Shari

Yay Shari! Congratulations! Don't worry too much about the speed, a million meters is a feat in itself!

Way to go - all you ladies with PB's!!! <br />Doesn't one million feel great? I don't have fast times either, but it sure has been fun seeing how far I can go.<br />You haven't heard much from me lately because most of my meters are on the water for now. But - never fear! I still read all your posts daily. It helps to get me moving on days when I don't feel like it.<br /><br />Keep up the great work everybody!!<br />Ye Old Buffle

I did my first 2000 meter row of the season this morning - 10:21.7 minutes. I ranked 57 of 71 in my category. I'm going to try to improve my time every month on the 20th. I've decided to do what my husband does: a 500 meter ranked workout on the 5th and 2000 meters on the 20th. Those coincide with my pay days so it's a payoff in so many ways!

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 season, as I was bicycling around England for a month in May and June, but the goal is to work my way up to the 10K boards (pant, pant). Anyone want to join me? Trying to increase my average daily meters by 100 meters a day... <br /><br />I'm sooo to be a part of the team!<br /><br />Deb Ford

Good to see you back Deb ...got your postcard thanks .... shame you were down south though .... lol

Welcome aboard Deb,<br /><br />It looks like I'm going to have my work cut out for me to keep ahead of you on the Ducks standings! I am having a great time trying to keep up to Ellen Dollar. It is so much more fun being part of the Ducks, compared to just rowing your metres in a solitary way.<br /><br />Shannon aka Canada Goose

Welcome to the team Deb! We're glad to have you!

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 what I could do with rest, fuel, and being fast from the start...<br /><br />Sheesh! I like this getting better as I get older stuff! <br /><br />Deb<br /><br />

well done Deb....
