Stopped you from madness-I didn't think that was possible!!damselfly wrote:Welcome Frank (Amanda's Daddy-O, or with the way my head works, "Amandadada"), and Pam!! I hope you find us a fun group to hang with while you're pulling C2's chain!
No, I'm NOT ready for March Madness, but since when has that ever stopped me?
Hooray!! Now I can sleep better knowing you won't be in danger of drowning if you take a tumble off the erg.Quatroux wrote:I guess I can get back to rowing now.
Let us know how your on-the-water class goes! I had been running 60-80 mile weeks until summer time and still doing a lot of running and biking when I started having issue's. Pretty sure that's why I was able to get back to doing lots of rowing when I was giving the all clear to start. I'm still waiting for the all clear to run but that may be a whileThe Blacksmith wrote:Only a 6 week break for surgery-wow-you're tougher than I am. It was 6 months after my surgery before I could think about doing stuff.

Pam, we absolutely approve of posting bragging rights stuff, PRs, race results, and all manner of rowing and other physical fitness and health accomplishments! Those are some pretty impressive numbers for someone new to rowing!
Thursday numbers to be posted a bit later, I'm off for a run now.
And BTW, I may have inadvertently introduced a bug into the stats capture program earlier this week, so please alert me if your numbers posted this week have been incorrect. THANKS!!

Yes, my wife Meg and daughter Grace (12 years old) have decided to join in for the challenge (and hopefully beyond).damselfly wrote:Let the Mad Marchness begin!!

So now I can row whenever I get the urge! Now, here's a family with its priorities in the right order! Great purchase! Now you just have to work on your family relationship skills so you don't fight over the rower. I recommend a sign-up sheet.MMcCabe wrote:Yes, my wife Meg and daughter Grace (12 years old) have decided to join in for the challenge (and hopefully beyond).damselfly wrote:Let the Mad Marchness begin!!

I started rowing at the end of January, 5 days a week in my company's fitness room. Quickly became an obsession.
When the snow blower broke during the blizzard a few weeks back, we found money in the budget for a replacement. However, I went online and bought a model D instead.
