My goal for the season is also 8MM - and I borrowed your signature ticker idea to show progress.

It may look like I'm almost there, but I will miss a lot of time before the end of the season.

So ... race you to 8MM - loser buys the cupcakes?

So....with half the rowing season to go....and you're at 6 MM meters....perhaps you are indeed planning on missing four months of rowing?! This might be a clever decoy.....

Last year at this time Wild Bill's meter total was about 850K.....my how things have changed! You've had a great rowing year, William H!

Thanks! :D

The past year has really surpassed all my expectations - I could not even dream of the goals I have set and acheived thanks to the team's motivation.

Yes, one of the benefits (downsides?) of being a lot more fit this year is that I have a lot more opportunity to work - which means a lot more time away from the Erg :cry:

For the time being, however, I'm in the moment and life is good! :D

Thanks, Team!

Can I place an order for a 5MM cupcake? I'm starving right now! I reached my 5MM lifetime right off the plane from our (well deserved) vacation. I must admit it's not a way to fight jet lag.

I would love to join you in your personal November challenge, but only till half way. Good Luck !!

congrats on the 5 million.....and baz...your day of cheering on he kids sounds great....
