No, but being on the road is probably a challenge. I hope we'll get burste of new meters and news from him soon. He has a ways to go until Dallas, but I hope to see him here.

With that coffin-looking thing attached to his truck, he could go to sleep in there, and a viewing line would form.

Who wants to be the Oldest Person in the World anyway? They probably haven't been able to row for at least 20 years! And besides, they seem to die so soon after we hear about them!

[quote="Izzzmeister"]Warren F - 10,000 Great streak, but I’m glad you took a day off to recover!

I've been at it for 3 months now and finally did my first 10k row. I started out doing 5k back in September and increased the distance each week by 500m. I lost a week back in October with the flu and another week when my PM3 monitor died and had to be replaced but I finally made it. Goals for the rest of the season: 200k in the Holiday Challenge, 2k in under 8 minutes and break 1 million meters for the season.

I've been following your building meters and progress, and have been impressed! Congratulations on your progress, and good luck with your goals!

Present and accounted for, capt'n Izz.

I've been away from almost all activities for over a month; my back injury flared up again and I'm very slowly able to get back to exercising.

It's going to take a while to get back to a normal routine.

Yes, I did...but it feels good. I actually had to take a break from the erg to build a swing set for the kiddos. Now that I have that off the honey-do list, it's back to rowing!
