Time to give myself a bit of motivation by public humiliation. Last Autumn I was making progress and weight was finally coming off. I was probably the lightest I'd been for 5 years. But then injury resulted in a laziness and I got out of the habit with the erg sitting there in the corner of the liv...

Well done young Flying Scotsman. =D> You need a medal not just for taking part but for also coping with such a roller coaster of emotions. =D>

If I had a private jet Barbara, I'd come and weed your garden for you - I'm chief weeder in ours; goosegrass ( cleavers ) being Public Enemy No.1 as it's capable of surviving nuclear Armageddon. I am so chuffed that you and Peggy have reached 2 million metres this season - great going gals - onwards...

Would it be possible to amalgamate this thread with the one already on the Main Forum as not all the injuries and illnesses are rowing and training related? That way nobody is overlooked, as some of us, ahem, well okay, me, tend not check this thread very often. :roll: Best wishes to all of you who ...

Good luck John. I always think of you as the ' Flying Scotsman ' Mark 2

Plummy and Daffy, we are fine for the 20th.
Thank you.

No weigh in last week as I was in London for BRIC. Weight seems to be stabilising at just over 94 kg.

Thank you Plummy for my new star.
Jill

Hello Plummy,
Reached 3,000,000 metres today. May I have another star please.
Jill

Very many happy returns of the day, Ann.

Although I'm slightly junior to you, this year we'll both still be 18 years young.

Peter, I'm sure you will have planned a wonderful birthday for your wonderful wife.

Lesley, this is a masterly ploy by C2 to encourage you to keep rowing.

It's working already. =D>

Hello Mardix, welcome to Free Spirits - I do hope that the benefits of rowing will continue to help and improve your health and general fitness.

Belonging to Free Spirits has certainly helped me.

Good luck for tomorrow Paul and John. From a slightly mature cheerleader. RAH! RAH! RAH!

We got a foot of snow yesterday and today we dug out. The temperature was well below zero last night. Sunday, I played a concert of Beethoven's Eroica and a CPE Bach harpsichord concerto. Once upon a time, we used to be pretty good at coping with the snow in this country... I think. :) Would love t...

My own contribution was frankly pathetic Stan, please don't say that. As you have been poorly, I'd say that your contribution was frankly heroic. :) On Saturday, I'll be helping to cook haggis with neeps and tatties.( I'm in charge of the neeps ). That's what you need to build up your strength. :) ...

And telling stories.
