I definitely know the tune. From the early 70s, right? Sort of a blues-rock song?

Every time I try to catch the lyrics I segue into "I fought the law, and the law won" which isn't right (different decade, I think).

I know the tune... I just can't place it.

John Cougar... John Mellancamp... John Cougar Mellancamp Cougar... comes to mind... but I don't think that's right, either.

Guy -- that's just amazing! Very well done. ^O^ ^O^ ^O^ How do you get your heart-rate to drop while increasing your speed? That's a trick I'd love to learn. :lol: Max -- very nice PB! Those two splits in the middle look pretty painful, so well done on holding it together for the final split. I don'...

What did you change, diet wise? If you don't mind sharing... Sure thing. I don't mind sharing. :) But people can be pretty touchy about the foods they eat, and enthusiasm can often sound like preachiness, so I want to assure everyone that I don't care what anybody else eats. I'm not trying to chang...

I'm starting to sound like a broken record... but that is truly some impressive power, Mikkel! Well done!

Thanks Dave, Davedcm, and Liefcat! I appreciate the support. :) Dave - the weird thing is, I feel better overall than I have for the past 20 years. After struggling with my weight for many years I'm within a couple of pounds of being Lightweight. My cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure are...

My father used to sing this song. It's Down by the Salley Gardens. Very good, Paul! Written by W.B. Yeats in 1889, shows up on many CDs of traditional Irish music. (I think I've got 5 or 6 copies in my collection.) Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet; She passed the salley gardens wit...

She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;

Hmm.

How about another oldie, but a goodie?

It didn't have much of a plot...

"Wake Up, Little Susie" ??

====================

Feeling a lot better, thanks!

Good to see you Zoot! Careful with the back, sorry to hear it's causing you trouble.

Hey Barbara! Nice to hear from you! My back is doing quite well. (Other things not so well... details in the injuries thread. )

Cheers,
zoot

Glad your arm is on the mend, Dave. My back is feeling quite well. I have been doing static and dynamic stretching as well as Tai Chi. Other things are... not so well. Last week I was hospitalized for two days with heart attack symptoms. All tests for heart attack were negative, though, and the diag...

Toto ?!?

Well done, Dave!

Well done Mikkel. I don't even see 800 watts when I'm dreaming .

Look at this then
100 meters in 14.7 !

Average Watts 881
Calories Per Hour 3333
Stroke Rate 61
Stroke Count 15
Drag Factor 233

Absolutely stunning! Well done!

David - those are all very solid rows. Well done. :fsbgrin: ... but you have to start somewhere. Thanks zoot you have probably saved me a lot of heart ache and pain. I will follow your lead when I get back on the erg because I would have tried to go too fast too soon! It's hard. Today was my 4th row...

Wild guess -- Liza Minnelli, Cabaret? (I don't know anything about the film and haven't seen it... or the song for that matter. )

Shang-Chi -- Those are some very nice rows for a 1st week back! :fsgrin: David -- looks like a nice steady row! :fsgrin: ========== I hesitate to even post my rows this week. I've been suffering recurring, acute back pain that has kept me off the rower for some time. I am starting to add workouts, b...

Thanks Tako!

That's my plan. Slow and easy for at least 3 months to build up basic endurance again.

We'll see how it goes.

Thanks David!

Been fighting injuries, these past few years... but with luck, I'll be able to keep them under control for a while.

Apologies for the delay. I'm still in Portugal.

Anyway, here we go:

Sounds like a Western.
