Have a blue sky day!

Must admit that Blue Sky looked like it could have a whole new meaning when I was in the Denver airport a couple of days ago...(nope...I didn't enter the establishment..yet)

[just27]

I hadn't counted them up until you asked. So far this rowing season I've done (officially) 35 full marathons and 64 half marathons. ... But I just can't keep up with that Jaybird
Ron

You're both so far out in the Stratosphere (7MM seasons! +/-) that I can't even dream about drafting in your wake. Hmm. In true Astrogator terms, perhaps I should designate y'all in the Mesosphere, or Thermosphere. Not quite the Exosphere, yet. (Slackers!)

Congratulations! That sure is a heck of a lot of erging.

Ron

That is some crazy mental, and tushie , toughness!
Do you ever see the light of day , or do you erg outside?

David

[Toothdoc]

Jay,

Great rowing. Are you using memory foam for your tush yet?

danno

[jay]

Thanks for all the congrats @Danno- no memory foam yet. Think calloused *#*# and hands grow in my family
BTW, Dalton wanted me to say his profile pic is him dressed as a Chicago gangster at Halloween. I think Al Capone. He was trying to scare Mario into staying in AR

Wet and overcast in Sydney...C2 weather!

Firstly, congratulations to the recent milestones...great work (what do they put in the water in Alaska?)

And perhaps we might even be making the news in the USA presently, as President Obama (and his thousand car motorcade ) rolls into town, along with a thousand or so dark suited men that look like this ( )

And the odd numbers on my rowing is the result of moving to time intervals now, rather than set distance pieces...

Cheers, BBB

Well, my wife is convinced about the "crazy mental" part Once in a while I drag the erg out on the deck for some rowing. I am lucky that even though I row in the basement, because our land slopes, the room I row in is at ground level. I have the window open at least at little bit in all but the worst weather.
I don't know about "toughness". I have always liked the longer distances in running, rowing or cross country skiing. After awhile I just seem to get in a zone. It is like meditation, kind of zen like. Even if I am physically beat, I always feel mentally refreshed and recharged after a long row.
And thanks to Danno, I now have my memorey foam, so it is a little easier on the tush
Ron

Now there is a thought...maybe we could all post some pictures of where we row, a little technically challenging for me, but I'll give it a go! Cheers, BBB

It occurs to me that I have embraced the long distance meditation zen-zone to which you refer! Previous to this rowing season, my regular HM times were between the low 1:40's and mid 1:50's. These days, I'm loathe to select a HM on the log card because I can never go under 2 hours. (I simply "just row" until safely past the 21K milestone.) I have possibly trained myself into relaxed-movie-viewing-mode. Maybe I should follow Bazzy's lead and shock my system with some interval training. (I'll get right on that. Next year. Yeah.)
