Very strong "last 7 days", Mardix . ^O^ =D> \:D/ Thank you Boris. I've done more meters in the last 7 days than the previous 3 months combined. My focus on 'long and slow' is helping keep my back problems from relapsing in that I don't feel the need to try to constantly beat any particula...

Judging by the Meterboard, Ron, it looks as if you are aiming to be a Grade A student. :) Mind how you go with your back. Thanks Jill. I have to constantly remind myself that the goal isn't to go fast, but to keep at a relatively slow, steady pace; so far my back likes my new approach. I have to sa...

And thanks to you as well, Boris.

Hope you have a great day.

Twins indeed. Same day and same year from what I gather. Oh, and thanks.

So it's my birthday today and I see two broken image links when I post. The alt tag seems to signify that it's a birthday issue.

Hello Ron - this is a pleasure to see you posting here. :) You may not think it's a pleasure as you're wanting to lose some weight but I'm sure you know what I mean. :) It will be a pleasure if it works, otherwise, not so much. I've never had to worry about losing weight until recently. I'm learnin...

Happy birthday, plummy. You picked a particularly good day (and year) for the occasion

The risks of being early adopters, I guess. Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll stick to RowPro for now.

So the end of week 1 in the new season and results are in:

Week 1: -2 lbs. 91km rowed (goal is 50-70km per week). Only 51 more weeks to go.

So I have not been able to use a USB memory stick since I got the darned PM5. All the ones that I had lying around simply don't register when I plug them in. Does the monitor require a specific type of USB (USB2? USB3?) or maybe a particular format? I looked online and saw that the only requirement ...

You people in the top 10 are relentless. I'm trying to hang on the best I can, but I know that once some other heavy hitters log their meters (JD Liddil comes to mind), then I'm done for.

Okay, done. Thanks Boris and thanks Thomas for a great site.

That should keep me busy! :shock: :lol: Paul V Busy indeed. Great goals and an inspiration. I'll keep an eye out for your progress as I go after my own goals. If you can get even close to where you want to be, then I will have no excuses - assuming that I can stay injury-free for any length of time...

I haven't been here for a long time, but for the short time that I have been able to poke around here, I have to say that you do a really super job. I would also like to thank you for all your hard work.

So it's time for a new season and I want to make a contribution to this wonderful site. I see some links to PayPal in the threads, but I want to be sure that those are still good links and that there is no new process in place. I'd hate for my contribution to go to a dead account somewhere. Could so...

Excellent news indeed, Boris. This just makes me wonder, though, if the neighbors in the new apartment, above and below, barely heard the rower, then what was the problem with the neighbors in the old apartment? Obviously the rower isn't as loud as they made it out to be. More insulation in the new ...

Just to understand the numbers: $120 per year for server space + (20 hours per year * $40/$60/$80 per hour???? for coding), so let's say $1000 a year? Did I miss something? The Meterboard shows about 400 people total and about 100 active people. If we just look at the active people then that's $10 p...

Out of curiosity, and pardon me if this was mentioned and I missed it, how much per year is needed to keep the site up and running and viable including the time spent on maintaining it? Regardless of the actual amount, what about having a 'thermostat' that shows the amount collected relative to the ...

A warm welcome to you both, Ragged and Hammer. I'm also new here and have found this group to be a wonderful place to learn and develop.

Oh, and the folks here are rather nice too.

So the season is drawing to a close and the 2016 season is fast approaching. I thought it would be good for me to make myself accountable with some goals. I am devoting the new season to only one thing, losing weight, lots of it :shock: No speed goals this year, no PB's, no Nonathlon. All of these s...

Cool, Mardix! =D> 8) (Funny sidenote: Last week I was thinking, that I didn't read anything from you any more. Thought that you possibly could have some back issues… but happily there's a sign of life. :fsgrin:) Thanks Boris. Yes indeed, I've been away for a while. I've been shuttling to Dallas and...

I just hit 3MM and would very much like a shiny new star if I could. Now on to 1MM for the season.

I'm in. My first challenge with this new team. It won't be a lot, but it will be something.

What a great story and super race. Congratulations!
