LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.

[just27]

For our 30th anniversary, my wife and I thought we might try a different venue for our lunar howl.

I have an odd memory of the Coliseum: as we walked toward it, the hairs on the back of my neck started raising. It really creeped me out, and I wouldn't go inside. (Maybe I was a gladiator in a previous life.) Other than that, Rome is wonderful ...

Welcome back for the 2015 Concept2 season to Eva-Kristin and Mitch F! Great to see more returning teammates!

Whoop, whoop and whew...I finished the Dog Days Challenge! Can't believe I was complaining that Concept2 had made it a lesser challenge by dropping the number of meters from 140,000 to 100,000...be careful what you wish for!

Season meters as of 119/365 = 28,173,212 m

Total meters on the day = 354,331 m

Whovian!! That's the ticket. Now let's go back in time and see what made the hair on the back of Minnie's neck stand up.

Despite my forum name, and some English ancestry, I must confess to being a Dr. Who-diot.)

Hunh. Who (pun intended) knew that Whovian is an actual word!

I did. I double checked it before I put it out there. I was hoping to stir things up a bit. Hahahaha.

I wish I could just say I found the download cable...

More like I found the ERG, refreshingly, it is good to be back on it. After our trip into the deserts I got home and focussed on some lifting!

But, the ERG and I have become reaquainted!

Cheers, Baz

Welcome back for the 2015 Concept2 Erg Season to Laurie P ! Always good to see returning teammates!

Thanks, Kona2!

I've been sidelined from almost ALL physical activity for over a year, battling foot issues--first a torn plantar plate ligament in one foot, then badly broken toes in the other! Doctor finally gave me the green light to get back on the erg as my toes continue to heal. So far, rowing causes the LEAST amount of pain of anything I do. Hoping all stays well for the fall challenge, although after so long doing nothing but clomping around in walking boots, my meters may be pretty low. At least I can contribute something, though!

So glad to be back...
