I just checked my log book and see that I have lifetime logged meters of 17,000,000.
I didn't start logging my meters til about 5 years ago.I started rowing in 1994 or 95.The mind is starting to go soft..

I do believe that my paper records indicate a million more but I will take the 17!!
What fun and you -my team mates -have been such a motivation for me and keep me erging daily!!
Thank you ALL.
After this season I will be able to get a Concept 2 duffle bag..I have a large set of drinking glasses!!
Don't forget to log your meters, check your scores and get your prizes.They are so worth the work we have done!!

ROW STRONG!!!

Team:
If you are looking for your stats..and you meters seem missing at any time...I am normally a night owl but have had some sleep issues so try to turn in alot earlier.I therefore pull the team meters off for your daily stats a tad bit earlier these days.If your meters seem to be "not there"..they will be reflected in the next day's stats.
Gotta get my rest so I can row

Row strong!!!

Hi everyone.

Thanks for the welcome, Pat! After slacking so long, I was almost too embarrassed to join TimbukTOO again... I'm glad you guys will still take me back, lol.

I had kind of a crazy '08 -- hubby had surgery, my dog had surgery, plus extra stress at work what with the economy and all -- and somewhere in there I just lost my motivation to row. But I'm back and motivated again and ready to go. Yay team!

We are just glad that you are back,Erika...

Glad that you are "ok"..sorry to hear that your '08 was so lousy.Sometimes rowing can just get you back on track..any exercise can help us to feel better, once we just get moving.I use exercise to boost my spirits and get me away from the hussle - bussle of life.
I hope that 2009 brings you more happiness and peace of mind..
Enjoy your rowing and there are no pressures here..no meters are too small.Just by being on the team is great for us.Help along the way..the path that will hopefully bring us good health and fitness...and friends!!
