Great job Bg! Thats Awesome. I don't think I'm as disciplined though, I would feel I earned a marshmallow fluff with just a 2k

Shout out to Derric also for all the 1/2 marathons, Thats impressive! Welcome to Anton and Player one also.

8 x 8888 m for Richard Tessier. It hardly seems enough of a remembrance for someone who constantly provided me with encouragement and support and challenged me to row more.
Off next week for medical testing.
