Wowzer, mates! Will's reindeer has been sprung from the stable...and will be named Stratos in honor of the speed with which all those meters (and meters = donation $$$!) are getting added to the Concept2 donation bundle.


Congratulations, Will S, on completing the 100, 200 and 300 K milestones of the Holiday Challenge !

Stratos (Will S)

Congratulations, Lunies! We've earned OVER one percent of the total donation for Concept2! Yep, sometime yesterday you rowed, rowed, and we flew by that $300 mark!

Many thanks to Ron for keeping the stats and forum pages moving along! Always seems like any of our Challenges make the stats fly by on speed dial ! I'm sure Ron had to give up some personal rowing time (a well deserved rest....can't believe you are OVER 600 K meters...and there are other Reindeer right there behind you, too)! AND, somehow, somewhere Ron unearthed the dancing 9.... ! Takes time to find these number gems! Good man!

Hi Jodi,
Hey, no need to apologize. One of the first things I found out when I joined the Luna-Tics is what a warm and caring group this is. We often share both our joys and our sorrows. It is like having over 100 friends. Someone once said that having a friend doubles your joy and halves your sorrow. We are lucky to have people like you
I hope 2012 is a better year for you
I sure am jealous that you have such cute grandchildren. I'm hoping that rowing will help me live long enough to see grandchildren Our son is 31 and the prospects right now look dim
Ron

Jodi, sometimes it takes a lot of courage to share your feelings openly, and I’m glad you’ve been able to do it here with your Luna-tic mates!

Like Ron, I’m hoping that rowing, and exercise generally, will see me live long enough to enjoy grand-children, TomO is going on to 12, and I’ve just nudged 52, so fingers crossed, but life is what it is and all we can ever do is ‘live in the moment we are in’.

Cheers, BBB

Ps: Crikey, I just did a calculation on likely timing of grand-kids, seemingly I’ve got a lot of rowing to go yet!

[kgallagher]

Jodi,

I think you will be pleased to know that my daughter said you look too young to have grandchildren.

I agree with others, no need to apologize. This virtual family is a great support system. We have supported each other through the departure of loved ones, illnesses and injuries, and the loss of our own teammates. In addition we celebrated many great athletic accomplishments as well as birth announcements and other wonderful events.

We are glad to have you on board. You are a great addition to the team.

Karyn

Once you get to the 4 cents per kilometer donation level....wowzer, the $$$ really start adding up! The donation thermometer zoomed up FIVE percent yesterday from all the meter contributions of the Concept2 rowing community. Also noticed that there are now 27,000 rowers in the rowing universe.

Hello all! As should come as no shock, I was rather burnt out after the fall challenge. I took it easy for a bit and then started working in some jogging and bike riding while the weather was still tolerable. Work have been crazy for about the last 5 or 6 weeks. I started working quite a bit of overtime. With the exhaustion of long hours, my rowing started dwindling worse and worse until I didn't row a single day last week and only once the week before. I decided enough is enough. This week, I made a commitment to not work extra hours and get back to rowing every day. It's so easy for me to go off in one compulsive direction or another. I need to continue to find the balance point between work, family, my health, and my hobbies.

In other news, a good friend from work decided to get a Concept2 erg after seeing the success I've had with it over the past year. He's had it for a couple/few weeks and is really enjoying it. He's had back problems for awhile, but I don't think he's having any back issues while rowing. I'll get him signed up on the team sometime soon.

That's all for now. I hope all is well here in Luna-Tic land.

PS - Thanks for the T-Shirt Kona!

[Kona2]

Glad you are ok, Brett.
