And today's feel-good rowing story...

"They built them tougher in those days."
As he turned 102 last week, Ray Clark was able to work out vigorously on a rowing machine and deftly pluck bouncing eight-pound kettle bells from the air with the hand-eye coordination of a much younger man.
It’s never too late to start rowing!

Fit at 102: Ray Clark is proof that it’s never too late to start exercising

Put me down for 72000 for the Challenge

Thanks!

Mike M - 5,000 Working on his silhouette**!



**I'm proud to say I actually spelled silhouette without looking it up or making use of the spell checker.

I'm impressed! This WOOT is for you! Bad spelling seems to run in my family Strong like bull, smart like tractor.

Mike M - 3,000 Ergus interruptus?

Well yes...kind of. I was so worn out from my 2k record attempt that I forgot to do an additional 2k.That is until I was lying in bed just about to dose off. Then ... "Oh crap I forgot to do 2k" . I suppose a real trooper would have gotten out of bed, tromped outside over to the trailer and rowed. I just didn't have it in me. If I would have thought about it --> I would have watched one of those motivational rowing vids (on youtube) in order to muster up enough hutzpa to get out there and row. But I didn't. So there you have it. I give no excuses, I'll take it on the chin please ---



.....However I will row today even though I am suffering terribly (I might be exaggerating a bit) from massive lower body fatigue and muscle soreness -- especially my in quads and gluts.... Yes, my butt hurts.........Sore butt or not, today I shall ROW STRONG!!!


ROW TimBuktoo... ROW!!!
