I did, in my defense, do some circuit training on Friday. I rowed OTW yesterday in the freezing rain. I erged my first 2k in 9 months today - in unheated boathouse. I'm not sure which was worse - probably the 2k.

[Izzzmeister]

Yisroel H - 12,000 Fast (most likely!)

My time was limited, so it was a 2K warm-up & a 10K. My warm-up took 7:35.3 (1:53.8 per 500m), the 10K took 38:04 (1:54.2/500m).

Today, I finally made it to 11 million (on the nose). Sadly, it took 175 days to go from 10 to 11 million. I guess hitting 11MM is just not as motivating as aiming for 10MM... My total time for all 11 mil was 720:29:38.3. Now I just have to find my total for 10MM - which is somewhere around here and always findable when I don't need it - so I can figure out how many hours this last mil took.
(My average time for this season is 1:56.5 per 500m, not in the same league as Jim Conley's 1:52.3, but not too bad for a 54-year-old whose average weight has been over 260.)

Congratulations on ELEVEN MILLION! Wow! Pretty studly!!!

Just took a few days off. feeling good, but a Cold is trying to sneak in making my breathing a little tough. Still working to get my 2+hours in the morning but now I am doing intervals on Tuesday nights...."that explains the "7thousand +" Lisa. Now I know why the machine will not let you do no more then 30 minutes of intervals doing 30 minutes of intervals on those nights "30 1 minute with 1 minute rest" working on keeping my under 2 minutes avg and 258 to 260 meters per 1 minute pull...I tell you that 1 minute rest does just does not seem long enough....I just might have to retire from work if I ever get my own rower.

I hope everyone has a Great Thanksgiving Holiday, be safe and remember eat healthy and row on....

Eleventy millions!! Congrats!!!

[Bobbie_Zee]

Today, I finally made it to 11 million (on the nose).

FANTASTIC! A feat to be proud of!

[Bobbie_Zee]

Not ME making 11MM. I was congratulating Izz. I am simply technologically challenged!

Ron M - 6,000 THERE he is!! Injury return?

I've found that recovering from an injury is so much more than just getting my body to heal. Pain is one thing, I can overcome that. The mind plays a much more nefarious game.
