Football quotes:
“Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.” ~ Vince Lombardi

"Pain is only temporary, no matter how long it last." ~ Ray Lewis

"In either game, life or football, the margin of error is so small, I mean, one half a step too late or too early, and you don't quite make it, one half second too slow or too fast, you don't quite catch it.The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch." ~ Tony D'Amato (Al Pacino) in the movie, Any Given Sunday

Another 20K and change-feeling not so mighty-BIG blister on the right heel-good thing someone invented moleskin or I might have to stop. I think I should have set my goal a wee bit higher. If I hit it, does that mean I can stop???

[The Blacksmith]

Oops-just checked my stats-185,131. Uh-oh, what do do now-quit or keep going????? Let's see-if I keep up this pace I might go over 300k by Oct 15th!!! Good thing I have an obsessive nature

[The Blacksmith]

Forgot to ask a training/rowing question. Not sure if this is the right place for it. I've been averaging 2:04 to2:18 or so per 1000 meters. I keep my machine on 3. I do the calories burned version on the monitor and and I try to keep in the 800-1000 range the whole row. Are my times good,bad,indifferent?? Thanks for the input in advance.

I've been averaging 2:04 to2:18 or so per 1000 meters.

WOW !!! I can't come close to matching that pace for even 500 meters. I'm lucky to do a 2K in under 10 minutes.

2:04 to2:18 or so per 1000 meters

damn! I can only hope that you mean /500m, or else I might start feeling real bad and get back on my bike.

Yow!! Yeah, I'm doing well to manage 2:10-2:20 per 500m split. When I row for distance, it's more like 2:35-2:45. But I'm a runner masquerading as a rower...

I have a friend who rowed in the '92 games I think. He says they used hit 1:30/500 in their workouts. This guy helped me with my form when I started. It was amazing how powerful he is, and he doesn't even row anymore!! (yes I've tried to recruit him!! )

We're not letting you out of the boat, Smitty!! It ain't even October yet!! I can reset your goal to 300, then you'll be forced to row on!!

[The Blacksmith]

Another oops-it is per 500 meters. And it's pretty much that pace whether it's short or long distance.Thanks
