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

[Thor MW]

Hey guys, I know I'm missing a lot here. The last few days I've been working hard to setup a new computer. There's been some challenges along the way. It sure runs a lot faster than the laptop and that's very cool. I am sorry for all I've missed. I am in the mud madness as I'm calling March the fat reduction month. My shoulder still isn't great but good enough to row if I don't over do it. So 5K challenge it is for me this time. The fat burning is coming along too. Grin.
Mini Way to go 40 million? Just amazes me.
Ed how exciting being there for your son's birthday.
Thanks all for being a part of this team.
Now then have to install more programs, device drivers, and tweek some more settings and who knows what else. Oh boy! Outlook wasn't saving my settings and that took nearly a whole day. How crazy it that!
Keep on rock'n

Whoop, whoop and WOW! Congratulations, Ed! We say that many, MANY times here! Congratulations, Ed, on achieving a special 8 million meter season! We wish you many, many more millions...but you don't have to get them all in the same year!

Thanks Kona! I got the last meters in to get my 8 mil for the season before I left to come surprise my son for his 7th Birthday. Great tearful reunion for both to say the least! I met them here in Orlando for the week of Universal and Disney adventure overload. Having a great time for sure. No Rowing this week but plenty of walking. I also surpassed 48 mil life time meters on my last row. Always fun to see the meters accumulate.

Happy Rowing all,

Ed

Enjoy your time with your family!

sending lots of good karma to your nephew :]

Ditto that, Ed. Blink and they're grown and on their own.

And from me, too. I'm grateful for his service to our country.

Happy birthday to your son, Ed, and congrats on your 8 MM season!

Barbara, do you have a picture of yourself at the Crash-B's, with your Minnie headband? Excellent wardrobe choice.

Congrats, too, to everyone who recently passed a milestone. We were in Palm Springs, most of last week, and I was remiss in checking the forum. Thanks for the shout outs at 40 MM lifetime ... and to Shaun for tracking. What a motivational crew, Team LunaTics! Took me a few moments too long to grok "Around the World in 80 Strokes," but I got there, eventually. Hah, DanWho!

Thank you for that cartoon - extra effort seems to be required on this first Monday of DST.

Day 12 or 13 of 31....are we there yet?!

And, yes! We are seeing robins in the trees out here!


...a 56 percent drop from peak numbers for the 5K population, and a 33 percent drop in the 10K participants...


...a 20 percent drop in 5K participants and a 30 percent drop in 10K participants...(and some of the 10K'ers may now be 5K'ers)

Naturally, it is difficult to hang on...hang on...hang on! So if you're still in the Challenge, hooyah and whoop, whoop! Hang on longer with steely resolve!

You are correct - my first half marathon on the rower. I have a half marathon run in 2 weeks and I wanted the cardio challenge but wanted to save my feet from some punishment this weekend. Decided to take on the half. I probably wasn't quite ready for it as I'd never gone beyond 10k before, but I stayed pretty steady, took a few water breaks, and finished strong. Definitely feeling a good soreness today!

Congratulations, Jeff B, on completing the first of what will most likely be many half marathons on your rower! Like other first evers, you're going to remember this one. We wish you many more first evers!
