Hi Pat,

Yes, it's been a while - over a year. Issues with my shoulder kept me from rowing....now I'm trying to get back into it. Feels so much better then being on a treadmill! I see you are still doing a great job trying to keep the team motivated!

Thanks for the welcome back! Now hopefully I'll stay motivated!

Kathy, Pat has been off the team for some time now. I believe she rows with "The Ancients"... Izzzmeister is at the helm of our little boat now and is doing a bang-up job captaining! He's off right now moving apartments, but should be back on board in a few days....

Row strong, team!

[Kathy B]

Hey all,

Lisa was that you that replied to me? Thanks for the update. I guess I just thought Pat would be there forever.....

Anyway, does anyone know how to change the comment that appears under your name, such as paddler? (i'm not talking about the quote). I've gone to the profiles but can not find where you do that. Since I'm over the million lifetime and have done the Crash B's, I think I can change it, just don't know how....

anyone?

Thanks,

Kathy

[damselfly]

Hi Kathy, yes that was me... The "paddler" label is determined automatically for the forum by how many times you've posted... That's why I'm a "2k poster". It's pretty common in forums to have something like that. The labels are tailored to the site. For instance on my trail runner's forum, I'm a "power walker" and one of the old timers there is an "ultra marathoner" just from the number of posts we've made on the site...

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for the answer. Good to know, I always thought it was about how much you rowed.

I'm starting back slowly but consistently and hope to build up my meters. Don't want to overdo it in the beginning otherwise, I'll be off the boat again.

Need to get in a rhythm before football starts!
