It takes roughly 4,220 pulls to turn an attempt into an accomplishment.

I like that. 4,220 pulls--one pull at a time.

Each pull pushes you closer. Each pull stretches you, as much as the chain.

Congrats on your PB Lisa! Half-Marathons are a lot of work.

Thanks, Jim! I just put in Avatar and kept pulling! Finished in 1:58 and some change.

I think I'm officially crazy. In the last 24 hours I have done a 10-mile bike ride, the HM, and then an 8-mile trail run this morning. Nutsy-cuckoo!!

A big TimBukTOO Welcome shout-out to new member Terri Masters!! Welcome aboard! Grab an oar and find a comfy seat. Stop in the forum some time and introduce yourself if you're so inclined.

Hi all,

Last year I underwent some surgery which stopped me from rowing. After a couple of setbacks I'm now back in the saddle.
It feels really good to be back, even though I'm feeling really rusty.

Cheers!
