(Oh, and I see you did 2000 millimeters to get you over that 300k mark, NICE... )

Well I WAS going to do a half marathon but I SQUIRREL!

Got up this morning to go to the gym. Sorry but it was too nice out and went for a long walk. Love the Sunday morning walk. Quiet and still and the only time for such here on Long Island. No time to get to the gym today and they close early on Sunday so I'm a day off my pace.

Note to Lisa From Kat- Hi Lisa-thank you for the note. (smiley is hers also)

And for our newer rowers...

Did you wake up to a new Concept2 rower under the tree? Here's an article from Concept2 to help you get started down the right path, including some links to technique videos...

Hi Guys,
Yet another stupid tech question. How do you get a picture put in the right of the forum posts by your name??
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark:

Up at the top left of the screen - under the words "Indoor Rowers" and below that "Board Index" - you'll see the User Control Panel. Select that (log in if necessary) and then choose the "Profile" tab. Down the left-hand side of the page you'll see the "Edit Avatar" option, and you can upload a picture there. The picture needs to be 126 pixels x 126 pixels or smaller, and 9kb or smaller.

Hope this helps,
Jim

Welcome new team member, Katerina Emig! We hope you enjoy being a part of TimbukTWO!
A hearty congratulations to Katerina's Dad for reaching 150K, Joseph W for making it to 100K & to Leif H & Mark S who hit 50K!

[The Blacksmith]

Thanks for the help Jim. Now all I have to do is make a pic fit the size requirements.
Went to do another 27k this A.M. Couldn't do it, could feel the old spine problem getting ready to rear it's ugly head. Did make it to 23k and change though. Finally getting smart enough to know when to ease up.

[cindyreck]

Hi Teammates! I'm setting a 100,000-meter goal for the January challenge. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...I KNOW I CAN! (Too much hangin' out with a three-year old??)

Row strong, everyone! Have a great day!

Cindy

[dr. espo]

ok, just joined the challenge a tad bit late...but better late than never, right?!

been sick, been eating, sick again, still eating, then sick of eating and watching my weight ballllllllooooooonnnnnn....

So, put me down for a 100K goal, lets see what I can do with the remaining days left

Mike

[damselfly]

Doc Mike and Cindy, good to see you guys back! I'll put in your goals. Row strong!

Mark, MS Paint can resize images if you have Windows... If that doesn't work PM it to me and I can do it for you...

Happy Monday, everyone (groan....)

[damselfly]

Good Morning TimBukTWOians!! A light day Sunday with only 154 miles of challenge progress, but still, we were at 2,693,124 meters, or 1,672 miles! Awesome!! We made it to Omaha! On through Nebraska now, then up into Wyoming and over the Rockies. We'll break out our special "snow oars" for that....

[CONLEJM]

Thought I'd put up (rather than shut up-not very good at that ) 27,000-2hours 8 minutes-1500 and change calories.

I don't think I'll ever try to do 27k; that's just a crazy long row! And I think I saw Glen did 33k one day...unreal!

Instead of taking the weekend off as I usually do, I took your "LSD" to heart both days and just did nice easy rows; set the PM3 to Calories rather than Meters and just rowed lightly until I burned so many calories.

Today I was wondering how I'd do having no real rest days. I got on the rower and cranked through 15604 meters in 60 minutes which for me is a PB; I kept a steady rate of 1:55.3 and wound up burning about 1200 calories.

Since I really only have an hour a day to devote to this, I try to eke out a little bit more each week. Sometimes I'll do two 30 minute rows and crank out the first one and take it easy on the second. Or I'll crank out a 5k or 6k and then do something easy. But it's all just in an hour.

Lisa, I think I am going to bump my personal monthly goal to 300k.

Thanks
Jim

[The Blacksmith]

Hey Jim-Awesome 15,604 in an hour-you're killin me! I get about 13.5 k in an hour. That's definitely cranking out the kilometers.
Welcome to the new additions to the Challenge! We can use your help!
