Whoop, whoop and way to reach multi-millionaire status in the first quarter! Congratulations, Ron, on achieving a TWO million meter erging season! We wish you many, MANY more!!

[Kona2]

Tomorrow! Dog Days of Summer Challenge begins! Complete the Dog Days of Summer challenge by finishing each of the following four distance goals in the timeframes indicated and log them in your online logbook:

Week 1, Aug. 1–7: 10,000 meters
Week 2, Aug. 8–14: 20,000 meters
Week 3, Aug. 15–21: 30,000 meters
Week 4, Aug. 22–28: 40,000 meters

Distances are cumulative (you don't have to complete 10,000 meters in one sitting, for instance), and all meters—rowing or skiing, indoors or out—count.

This was 61m with my son on my lap holding the handle and me using the legs, then a slow 5k as I recover from a double red blood cell donation on Monday.

This was tough!

This being the Dog Days of Summmrrrr, it was only fitting that the usual decision of do I post first or walk the dogs first...went to the dogs! Beautiful morning! Anemometer says the wind speed is a gentle 7 mph, but more importantly...the trees say that too. Neighborhood and trails all quiet - lots of ubiqui-bunnies of all sizes. Enjoyable.

Week 1 = 10,000 m...some will pace themselves to get this one done, and some will do laps around it. It's all good.

Had a hawk and an owl in one of the trees in the back...at the same time. Wild kingdom. The owl won the perch, although the hawk raised a lot of fuss.

Carol and I did 60km on local trails - we had beautiful weather on Sunday. I got home and decided that I was going to hit a metric century for the day ... but I really didn't feel like riding laps around my neighborhood. BikeErg to the rescue!
