Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
Not sure this qualifies as training, but I went into the gym in our apartment complex in Alvor to see if the rowing machine was working. I checked, and it was. On a whim, I decided to do a 1000m row in order to set my first ever time as a 70 year old. Started off way too ambitiously, but managed not...

Re: Name that tune
I recognised the lyrics straight away, but it took me a few minutes to place it.
It’s Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day.

Re: Name that tune
Hi Ann It sounded vaguely familiar, but I couldn’t place the words, even with the extended lyrics. So I googled it and watched it on YouTube. When I heard the song, I definitely remember hearing it before, but didn’t know the artists at all. As it was recorded in 1965, it should have been right in m...

Re: January CTC: Double December
Finally got around to doing this month's challenge. Decided to do it with a few days to go so that I might be able to have another go at it. Very underwhelming at 4:12.7, but at least it gives us 4 rowers in another boat. Now all we need is two females to float those boats!

Re: Anyone remember me?
Welcome back Paul! Of course I remember you. I also haven’t been around much recently, but trying to get back into doing a bit in anticipation of reaching a new age category in a couple of months’ time.
Looking forward to seeing you post more regularly.

Re: Tell us about your Holiday plans
Currently back in Alvor, in the Western Algarve. Brought my rowing gear with me in the hope of feeling up to having a go at this month’s CTC.

Re: December CTC: 500m
Did my first CTC in over a year. I had no idea how to pace it, so I just decided to try to get a steady rhythm going. I was pleasantly surprised to manage to get sub 2 - finished in 1:55.0 and sitting alongside Colin in boat VI.

Re: Name that tune
Yes Paul, it is indeed Johnny Cash, and the song is a sort of tribute to another C&W star(big clue). Paul G Was it a tribute to his wife June Carter by any chance? No, a fellow male C&W star. I gave up and decided to google “Johnny Cash songs”. A list of 30 songs came up, but none of them s...

Re: Name that tune
The only country music singer that I can think of who died recently is Loretta Lynn. Although both Olivia Newton-John and Jerry Lee Lewis also recorded some country music songs. But I can’t think of anything recorded by any of them that includes your lyrics. If it’s someone who died years ago, it wi...

Re: Name that tune
The only song I can think of that mentions Harry Truman was We Didn’t Start The Fire by Billy Joel.
But I’m pretty sure the song didn’t include anything about the price of a Coke and burger!

Perfect Paul. =D> ^O^ Lately, the secret to picking songs that can be identified here is to pick really old songs! Thanks Peter. I think you might be right. Here’s a mixture of old and topical. But nothing impressed me at all Englands WC campaign in Qatar? Paul G Close, but no cigar! 😂 :lol:

Re: 2022 weight loss thread
I had a similar sort of week, although I haven’t been back on the erg since I pulled a muscle in my hamstring on my return to the erg last month. It’s better now, so I may give it a try later today. We’ve had some snow over the last few days, so I haven’t done as much walking as usual. Anyway, anoth...

Re: 2022 weight loss thread
Sounds like acceptable 'damage', Paul, as long as you had a good time :-) You did have quite a big loss the week before, too, so maybe this week was always likely to be more consolidating than further progress?
