Eric Nelson just hit a million meters!
We also have 40 rowers, over half our team, who are currently over 100,000 meters.
Awesome.

C2 is going to be giving away a lot of stuff for all the Million mile rowers and people that are going to surpass a Million for the season.

Well, after shoveling snow for two and a half hours (we had 14.5 inches fall overnight) I hurt all over - so no rowing today, but I am still on for your 400,000 meter challenge, Tom. Gonna have to pull off 25,000 for 4 days in a row to make it, though.

I never thought I could row 10,000 m at one time before this challenge! Today I not only did that, but I also hit 100,000 this month, first time I've had a 6 digit month!

Thanks for a great time during this challenge. I've lost 5 lbs between this and the Holiday Challenge. I know I'll make my goal of a Million Meters by Mother's day - at least if my kids forget C2 will send me a gift!

Kristine and others: way to go. Eric - amazing. Anthony (also amazing) - perhaps a million too?

I've got 79,000 to meet my goal over the next four days. I'm shooting for it: 620,000 meters - No more less!

Then it's time to start training for the Marathon challenge!!

We're almost at TWELVE million meters! Moon surface looks a bit rough - are we trying for a landing or just a bank shot around ?

Lucky you! We got only 7 inches. Shoveling took about an hour.

Monday morning along the river where we paddle in the summer

Beautiful picture!!
I lived in NE Pennsylvania for 17 years.We had lots of snow to deal with too.I am now in SW Florida and don't miss it at ALL.But I do empathize with you both ..all the long hours of shoveling.Quite a work out in itself.
We used to have to shovel just to get out of the house.MOUNDS of snow.
The pictures are beautiful.
I like it here where all the white we experience is sand.

Great job LUNA-TICS...our journey to the moon has been so enjoyable.

... so, if it's 385,000,000 meters to the moon, Team Luna-Tics has gone approximately one third of the distance?

Maybe we should continue totalling our yardage through March before planning our one-small-step-for-man, party on the moon. :)
