After mid-Feb. I want to ramp up the mileage on the rower from 44-50k a week to consistantly 50-60k. With that I would like to regain the fitness I have lost over the past year and a half while studying and on my Bachelor of Education degree (while taking care of my 4 little kids and husband and house and...) Happy New Year all! Debra

Knowing your 1K (3:20) I am sure it is within reach. For me: 1) new PB's for all Nonathlon (except FM) distances before the end of the season. The 30min (7823) being the toughest to break. 2) do a FM (my 3rd) 3) become lightweight before the end of the year 4) participate at the BIRC 2005 Tom

Regain the male 50s lwt world record on the erg sometime before I turn 55 years old on Jan. 25th, 2006. Row in a race in my 1x without looking like a damn fool. ranger

Lose the 4lb I've put on in the past 2 weeks of over-indulgence and no erging.

In the past 5 weeks I have done the most valuable training I have done for a long time, things are looking good for Manchester/Boston weekend Goal for 2005 is to keep training, immediate goal is sub 6:30.

Too damp in the garage. I tried to do an hour today, but gave up after 30 minutes as I was wheezing too much already.

Daren, GET YOUR A**E IN GEAR!! What are you doing? you were going great guns, now you are slacking like Steve says. Come on, just start with a few 30 min pieces then build on that, it won't take long to get back on it. Sir Pirate

Well, I couldn't even get to the rower for about 7 days because there were about 6 bin bags in the way, post Christmas. I took 'em all to the tip yesterday and dug the D out. I did 30 minutes earlier, and will probably be doing another 30 minutes later. I do need to get to Argos and get a heater of some sort, but the garage has a high roof so I'll probably just end up heating the top 8 feet, and the bottom 4 feet where I'm sitting will stay cold. I need to install a false ceiling, really but that's part of the master conversion plan... =)

But remember Manchester is only 6 weeks away and it's going to REALLY HURT unless you get back into it real soon.

I have a small electric fan heater, I put this on the floor around 20 minutes before my session. This races temp from typical 3 degrees C to 10 degress C (50 Fahrenheit). I then switch off heater, I find 10 degrees just right for training. Rowing in 3 degrees, just takes an extra top for warm up, but is hard on the throat for hard sessions. I was tempted to lower ceiling and insulate, but would be to warm in summer. Dampness is probably a greater threat than low temperature though. On another angle, 20+ years of running in all weathers, I found cold crisp winters a joy to run in, whatever the temperature. !! Cheers Steve
