Team Row Pain, Row Gain

<span style='color:green'>Welcome, Martha! We're happy to have you. It's good that you row consistently. The meters add up that way.<br /><br />Also welcome to new members Thomas, Steve B. and Jenny.<br /><br />Congrats to Seth for reaching over 500K for the season.<br /><br />Mike & Mary--I'm seeing the same thing in terms of the scales. First I gained a couple of pounds, then I lost part of it, but basically there's been no big change in weight. What I DO see is a change in the way my clothes fit and the way I feel. I know it's working and will take time. I still need to monitor my weight, though, because my arthritis medication can cause fluid retention. I need to watch out for sudden weight gain. I wish I could throw the scale into the trash, but at least it doesn't really bother me now.</span>

<span style='color:green'>Robin is truly Rockin' today! Congrats to her for being the first on RPRG to appear on the Summer Solstice Challenge honor board. She rowed over 24K!!!!<br /><br />I decided to set the PM3 for 21097 meters....just in case. Much to my amazement, I did it! It's probably the slowest half marathon in the history of indoor rowing, but I did it. <br /><br />Good luck to everyone else attempting the challenge. I see Kris is well on her way. Everyone report back here.</span>

"<br /><br />Well done Bobbi. You're an inspiration. And I see we've regained that 10th place. Off to do my bit (butt) now.

I have 4K still to go.. but at this rate I'm surprising myself getting it all done. I'm not getting much else done around here - but oh well.<br /><br />Kris<br /><br /><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><div class='genmed'><b>QUOTE(eieiodin @ Jun 21 2005, 01:37 PM)</b></div></td></tr><tr><td class='quote'>Great work guys!

I did go ahead and list my time in the rankings. I'm 4th out of 4. I started out last in just about everything (except 500 meters), but have moved up in all but the 6K.<br /><br />I'm so glad Specialt started this team. I wish she'd come back and get rowing again.</span><br />

All of you are an inspiration. So I took off work a bit early and rowed another 1/2 marathon today. Ugh - two in 3 days. The last 3K meters was rough but I made it.<br /><br />I tell you what if I ever row a full marathon I'll have to change clothes at least once. I get off the C2 dripping wet. I was standing at the sink drinking some water and my wife yelled at me "What did you do take a shower in those clothes? You're dripping water on the floor." <br /><br />Kevin
