HA! Speak for yourself. I was never house-trained. (Or should it be "mother-ship trained"?)

What a hoot! Love the optimist in the middle (or is he waving to the camera, saying "look Ma: no hands"?)

Put me down for 100K for the challenge: unfortunately, the hum has gone out of this little hummingbird for awhile (missing too many feathers in the wings and tail). On the bright side, I have to row at least 79,000 m more to reach 1M for this season, so I might just make the WEC goal. Oh, for the good old days, when that would have meant only 4 days of rowing, without any break days, either. Whimper.

Whoever said “Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it” was NOT writing about recovery. I want this to be OVER! Yesterday!

Glad to see you back Heather! Yes, recovery can suck, but it's better than the alternative -- not recovering... I'll put you down for 100K. :D

Back after a bit of a hiatus. Nasty viral infection followed by a ski trip followed by several back-to-back work trips have set me back, but I'm getting back into a somewhat consistent routine. I joined the challenge to add my measly meters, and will set a stretch goal of 50k.

Gotcha, Brad. Glad you've recovered from the virus thing, but work, well, there's no cure for that malady, is there? ;)

Been in hospital since yesterday morning and more than likely will be here until Friday. Not sure when I will be able to get back to rowing. I still have hopes of completing the 10k part of the mud madness challenge.

Keep up the great work everyone!
