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

[Kona2]

Today's row carried me past 5 million lifetime meters. Gee, it's less than some folks row in a single season. In the spirit of David A.'s circumnavigation, I looked to see how far 5 MM meters would get me from NJ. Sadly, only to the West coast or, in the other direction, a few miles off the coast of Ireland

Whoop, whoop and way to go Norma! That's definitely a milestone to dance about so Shaun and his flock are doing the flock dance for you! Congratulations! We wish you MANY MANY more millions!

34 Lunies stayin' alive!!

And, you guessed it! Vaporizations CONTINUE off the Progress Board with another 185 vanishing into virtual thin air. Lunies seem to be stabilizing around 34 for the third day running and no one wants to give it up! That's the way to play it, uh-huh uh-huh...

Day 4 of 32....and we're still standin!

Meanwhile, it's Springtime in the Rockies and we are reminded mightily that March is the snowiest month. Yep, six to eight slushy snow inches throughout the neighborhood and it was the kind that is brutal to shovel. Today's rowing session is going to be sloooooow.

Good for you Norma. As you know you are one of my heros. As such I will be hitting the big 5 million lifetime meters in 5 days or so now. Don't forget to order your long sleeve t-shirt. Oh, and get your certificate. Gotta have that. Grin. I haven't miss one certificate this season. That is my first. Well this is my first full season rowing so that does help.
I plan on seeing my name on the Mud Madness winners list. I'd love to win some of their clothes. Shorts would be good.
Have fun and rock on.

You guys are amazing. So much inspiration from the members here.
Welcome to the new newbies, and congrats to those celebrating their milestones!!

Congratulations Norma !!!!!
Just a few Guinnesses off the coast of Ireland, and after you finish those, I think another Shaun the Sheep Flock Dance will be in order.

And I want to add my welcome to Heather and Noel !!

34 Lunies STILL stayin' alive!

Hahaha! We have clearly set a marker in the virtual ground that says you shall not pass....and 34 Lunies are resisting the pull of gravity to stay alive in the Mud Season Challenge! Of course, we have at least FIVE teammates who have met the required meter amounts EVERY day of the Challenge....impressive! Meanwhile, you guessed it...MORE vaporizations have occurred off the Progress Board overall. Another 207 virtual participants vanished without a trace!

We're still lucky number 7!

Now there's a rocker folks. 66 million in the big bank. Wow!
Questions David, what model did you have in 1994? How many models did you have?
I was at a gym that had a very old C2. I believe it was a model B. It still worked but it was pretty rough. The foot plates weren't adjustable and I think the handle was sort of nasty too. Grin. Folks if your first model is a D you are spoiled.
Unreal David. Keep on rock'n.

[URL=http://s173.photobucket.com/user/d ... .jpg[/img]Congrats to David and Norma, Awesome job!.....The pic is of Trio, He loved drinking all the water out of the bird bath. We had to send him off to dog heaven last week, an incredibly tough thing to do, but their short lives pack a lot of joy and fun into our world.
Great job to all on the challenges, I've been backing off a little, doing a few remodeling projects on the house so things are in dissarray. I will try and make the most of whatever time I can get on the erg. Happy and healthy rowing to all.[/url]

That is beautiful and so fitting. I'll not forget that. Hugs to you and your family.

I just wanted to say hello to all my fellow Loonies! This year, I opted not to do the March Madness (old habits die hard)...Mud Season Challenge. It is odd not erging almost all of March, but I am surviving. I decided not to do this for two reasons. 1) I am a morning exerciser. I have been doing more weight training (light weights) and trying to run (actually jog) a little more. I don't have time to do that and erg in the mornings, so I decided to pass on the erg this month. 2) Last year when I went to do my spring 2k pieces, I was slower than expected. I think I became complacent with my steady state workouts over the winter. (I usually do the Holiday Challenge, JVTC, Valentine's Challenge, and March Madness.) I don't often do workouts for speed and intensity in the winter. Most of the workouts are at a light to medium steady state pressure. I decided to give myself some time off the erg in March and to change up my workouts to see if in April when my coach asks us to do a 2k test piece I can do better. Hopefully it will work.

When I'm not erging, I don't check the forum as often. Glad to see so many of you are still in the game! Keep it up!

Congrats to AJ on your success and everyone else on their accomplishments.

Happy Belated St. Patrick's Day!
