Have (virtually) rowed around the world
#1
Folks,

Almost twenty years ago, I began rowing on a Concept II indoor rowing machine (ergometer). Concept II lets you track your progress on its web site.

This past week, I finally hit my long-term goal of rowing around the world (40,000,008 meters going through both poles). 

In the beginning, I would rotate between a daily 10k, 5k, or half-hour session. Some years back, I switched to a daily 10k. Originally, I could complete this in just under fifty minutes. Nowadays, it takes me a bit less than an hour. 

Switched from listening to podcasts to a daily, compact-disc worth of whatever audiobook is current. 

Color me satisfied.

Congrats! I'm tired just reading about it. I feel somewhat gratified doing my (almost) 2 mile walk (almost) every morning.

Congratulations Todd!

THAT'S a huge accomplishment!

Originally, I could complete this in just under fifty minutes. Nowadays, it takes me a bit less than an hour.

THAT'S even more amazing.

It motivates me to walk around the block once or twice, LOL.

Well done, you.
