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

[Kona2]

Just an FYI - Ron, Norma and RIchard T aren't being allowed by the forum site to post. We don't know why that is, but have reached out to the Forum moderators to see if they can help us out here. No one is posting anything that isn't appropriate. We don't know whether their IP addresses were hijacked or anything though.

[Kona2]

ditto :} btw do yu have a link for the nonathlon ??? thanks :]

BG - Here is the link for the nonathlon site:
http://nonathlon.com/
It appears the site hasn't been updated for the current rowing season yet. Based on the "Latest News" on the home page being dated 19 May 2016, I'm guessing/hoping the site should be updated in the next couple of weeks.

And good numbers you've posted there too!

[Kona2]

Well hail....and lots of it. Grateful that the storms steered around me yesterday - others were not so fortunate. The deluge of rain did give an opportunity for data collection on how waterproof our neighborhood's new Little Free Library would be...it did well! And, while you may not have heard of Little Free libraries, chances are that there is one really close to you now that over 50,000 of these have sprung up here and there.


Day 9 or 10 of 15....let the mooning continue!

Full marathons:

Andrew
Ed

Half marathons:

Keith
K2
Steve W - his second fastest ever, and fastest in the last two years (keep on turning back time)! Also makes him the third teammate to complete a full and a half!

Try ucp.php?mode=delete_cookies then login again. Sorry about the pain, it was a snarly problem for all forum users.

Our team Captain Kona2 Aka Mrs. Stevenson helped me with that Its all fixed Thank You

Thanks Citroen, I did not realise the problem I was having was related to Cookies, I was blaming an incompatibility between Microsoft Edge and LastPass, I knew my password was correct because I could log on another device using a Chrome browser.

I've included the error message below and updated the subject to make it more likely for anyone else with the problem to find this solution using a search of the forum
"You have specified an incorrect password. Please check your password and try again."

I knocked three minutes off my best time of last year for 10,000 m this morning, and today's time included a quick jump up from the rowing machine to click to the next half of the audiobook.

Now that I can post again, a belated


That will do wonders for your Nonathlon 2018 score!

[Kona2]

I didn't realize so many teammates were having forum access issues - the email route was successful in alerting that there was a problem (that, and lack of meter posting by those who usually do!). Citroen helped us all, as did Paul H.



Add two more full marathons, and 3 half marathons to today's catch! And Dennis has joined the "I'll have one of each kind of marathon" list. Putting pressure on the rest of us....what a great team effort on this Challenge! First for deciding that you're GOING to do the thing, then in some cases having to cajole the other gym occupants into giving you uninterrupted time on the erg (got to admit that Keith's description of the burly dudes in the weight room sounds like a Challenge in itself to get agreement!), and sometimes you have to enlist helpers to keep the display alive. Some of our teammates are supporting the Challenge through comparable cumulative distances - and that's just as hard or even more difficult. I'm impressed!


Meanwhile, more teammates are showing up on the roster as the season gets underway! Good stuff! Welcome back to FRiC, Bazzy, and Chuck B!

wtg :] and i also love the free libraries plus my health club has some shelves were you can leave and/or take books :]

[Kona2]

I never set an alarm because I have three pups who ARE the alarms...only today they slept in and consequently so did I. This was not good as Thursday AM is my golf league. SO number gathering was delayed, and some of your numbers may be two-fers. And there you have it - perfection is so elusive!

Day 11 or 12 of 15....it's now or not during the Challenge!

Andrew and Ed added to their full marathon numbers...Andrew now with TEN and Ed with SIX. Half moons abounded today with bg, Will, Ron and Richard throwing in some good sized numbers. Some of these might be two-fers, but the big numbers are STILL there. Well done everyone.

My oldest Golden Kihei(13) is hanging in there, but she is not long for this world. Two different chemo treatments did not work for her, and I'm just not willing to put her through any more things that will keep her isolated. She is a happy participant in life. Mornings are tough for her, and then she kind of perks up and wants to play later in the day. As I have said, puppies in general are full of joy, exuberance and always bring some degree of heartbreak. We will hope for a gentle passing when it is her time.

A few months ago...Ki behind the "pearly" gate, and Aerie and Kai


About two weeks ago..Ki, Kai, Aerie

[Steve W]

Clearly Kihei is a beautiful soul and is loved greatly. We can learn much from our pups, who celebrate every day that they are together...

[Kona2]

Day 12 or 13 of 15....getting it done!

Will moon fever continue to roar through the Lunie crew? Inquiring minds want to know what the final weekend of the Global Marathon Challenge will bring!

Chalk another full moon up for Andrew...number 11 in the last 12 or 13 days! Fortunately Jupiter and Saturn each have over 60 moons ... so the solar system represented by all these moons is still the one we know...

Small victories. Look for them and celebrate them every day. And may the rabbits continue to escape under and through the fence.
