Day 31 of 33...and a cup of Christmas cheer...

The Concept2 Universe is at 90 percent of its goal ... which is AMAZING, and an indicator that this is quite a good year! Over 8000 people have made it to the 100K milestone, and 2600 or so have made it to the 200K milestone. Naturally (naturally!) we always want more numbers. MANY Lunies are closing in on the antler lights 200 K milestone, and that coveted 200K Holiday Challenge pin. Earning that Holiday Challenge pin is a tradition for so many of us...no matter whether that pin ends up in a drawer, or proudly on display near your erg, you know you WANT to earn it. Get going; time is fleeting.

Hope everyone is getting themselves and those they care about to their various destinations reasonably on time and safely. Never fun when you look up the incoming or outbound flight and it says "delayed" or "canceled." And then there's that mail delivery you are awaiting...and your local USPS is overwhelmed so it skips your half of the street that day... We roll with it, right? Timing might be everything, and deadline driven is only good for last minute meters!

Hello Everyone!

I have not been on the forum in quite some time. In 2016 I had a shoulder injury that kept me off the water until the late spring of 2017. Then my district decided to move me to the Middle School (I'm a teacher). The Middle School starts earlier, so I had to be at work at 7:10. Since my rowing club gets off the water at 7:00 this limited my ability to row. I didn't row much until school got out in the spring of this year. I do miss being on the water. Since I wasn't rowing, I wasn't erging much either, hence my absence from the forum. I decided to try and do the 100k challenge this Holiday season to motivate me to erg more. Suddenly I was done with the 100k and still had a week and a half or so to go. I decided to push it and try to hit the 200k mark. Since I couldn't erg Thurs. morning, I decided to make it up Sat. with a half-marathon.

When I logged in today and saw the graphic and the comment about me mooning you, it made me smile. I love it. Thanks for the recognition.

Happy holidays to everyone! Even though I have been out of touch, I'm still proud to be a Luna-tic!

Karyn
