You certainly can - great work Iain. Next one's a biggy!

Many thanks. Yes, Carole will beat me to it, but not sure whether I will scrape in ahead of Wolfie.

Just noticed this

It's been a few years since the last one!!

I've a feeling the next one will be a lot sooner arriving -

Well done on the new milestone Mat (or should that be "metrestone"?)

Thanks Dave - lets hope so

Today notched up a significant milestone for me. I thought it was going to happen at 33 million (for some reason) and every million since and especially the big 4-0 but I've decided that from the latest landmark of 41 million (hit about 30 minutes ago) I'm tired of being tired all the time so I'm dropping one of my weekend sessions therefore my weekly metreage is going to drop off a bit from now on. It's odd as I feel I'm "shirking" and being lazy and to a degree even letting the team down should there be a challenge like the up-coming Fall Team Challenge.

For now I'll dig into my bag of stars and award myself a gold one..

Well done Dave

Well done Plummy. I'm sure many of us know the situation where we are doggedly carrying on with something because we will we have to, when in reality we don't have to at all and would be far happier if we changed our habits and patterns. I did the same with rugby refereeing this year. I was forcing myself to keep going through a sense of responsibility and debt to others, but I was not enjoying myself and know now (I think) that stopping was the right decision.

One thing is for sure, after all of your contributions, nobody could ever accuse you of shirking or letting the team down.

Stay well, and hopefully you may find some more enjoyment in rowing, which I know has been missing for a while.

Belated congratulations on this significant milestone Dave!

Doh! This one crept up on me and I missed a gold star. Just a plain star for me please Plummy.

I never expected to get the first star, let alone a second. It was a big enough milestone for me to want to ask for a gold one please Plummy. Cheers, Louise.

Well done on doubling your total Louise. Gold star duly awarded and well earned

Thank you plummy! And also for keeping our star charts and thus motivating us all!

Thanks Louise. If anyone hits a new mark in the next week, they'll have to wait a few days for an update...

This one’s been a long time coming but I finally got there. Gold star please Dave.

Well done Richard. Gold star for your gold star efforts rewarded...

Please may I have a gold star for a nice round 20 million
Phew its a long way

Congratulations Carole.

It IS a long way. Congratulations Carole - gold star happily awarded.

Thanks
I got a very nice free sports bag from Concept with my 20 mill pin

Hi all, with today's row I have landed on 14 million lifetime meters. Please may I have a gold star?

Thanks.

Gold star awarded as requested. Shame after all that effort that you didn't bump up a couple of places. The next million might help you do that..

Well done anyway, great work.

Plummy

Wow, lots of metres in this thread...with a sense of awe I see numbers >20k here, today I want to join the club if the buddy on the rowing machine, well I guess that's me, is allowed to join. So I ask with a polite: Excuse me...please accept me into your club. Because I like crazy numbers. It's 11111111m. Cheers Claudius B.
