Re: Anyone had any SEASON's bests recently?
Nice work, Paul! Are you going to have a few days off to recuperate? (I've never done a FM, I think it'd be the end of me!) Jane, it would definitely be the end of me. :lol: Doing an FM is as much a mental chore as a physical one and that's why I tend to fo them off the cuff. If I spent a lot of ti...

It has been there for 21 years, throughout all my kids' childhoods. Jane, happy memories and photographs no doubt? I would have loved a treehouse - had to make do with climbing trees and making dens ( Oh joy :D ) with my friends instead. Do children still climb trees etc? Missing out if they don't....

That's excellent news Phil - hope your surgeon was able to give you the ' Thumbs Up ' with regards to driving again?

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
Hi team. I have not posted for a bit because I have had a bad back (but not as bad as sciatica, thankfully) and very stiff hamstring. So most of my rowing has been plodding along with a stiff leg.

Re: Name that tune
If it makes you feel any better Paul, it's the only song that I know by Jackson Browne. Also fortuitous that I was listening to it on my iPod not that long ago - I'm normally pretty hopeless at recognising lyrics. If it is the right answer and because you have been feeling a bit jaded of late ( doin...

Belated Happy Returns for yesterday Christine.
Thinking of the Californian temperatures at this time of the year, the heat generated by the 18 candles on your birthday cake, would have been negligible.

Re: What should be the challenge for the August ctc
Thank you for your email Stan.
I didn't have an opinion on this until I remembered that it will be Jason's birthday next month, so I'll vote for the 3x9mins with 3min intervals.

Hello Ron. I'm very sorry to hear that you are out of action again - I was beginning to wonder where you were. Your health and well being are the priority - don't worry about not rowing. When you feel ready, the erg will still be there. Two steps forward, one step back. As least that's positive Ron;...
