50,000,058 million lifetime meters today. Can't believe this. I started 11/30/04. Have had some good rowing years and some poor ones. This has been a tough season for me , but hanging in there.

Let me be the first to say congratulations!

Congratulations! Thassalottameters! (Hey wait a minute. is that 50 million million meters?)

I've got my sights on 5 million in the next few months. I just sent in for my free 1 million t-shirt. I understand you get one at 5 million too. Any others?

Diane,

I have a couple of questions if you don't mind answering:
How did you do those row? Was it in several shorter pieces throughout the day, or did you just sit down and do a long one each day? Anything you'd be willing to share would be very interesting to me (and probably to a lot of others as well). I'm having a little trouble wrapping my head around that much rowing. It's approaching the level of effort of an ocean crossing (without the storms and danger etc).

Thanks everyone:-) you get stuff at 10, 15, and 20 million meters. Great incentives from C2

Congrats Jim, 50 million meters in 10 years, averaging 5 million a year is very impressive. I would be curious as to your routine as well. I have a hard enough time obtaining my 1.4 million or so every year. What with work, family and life matters. I don't know how your body handles that so any info on your accomplishment would be greatly appreciated.

Been away for a few days as I took a hard spill at home resulting in a laceration and shiner to my left eye, bruised ribs and a banged up elbow. Finally rowed today and other than the bar going into the rib area 25-26 times every minute all was good, lol

Thanks, helps to have my own machine plus a used one that grandkids sometimes use. Had some years that I rowed 2 or 3 times a day. I have never been a fast rower, but 45 - 50 minutes can get 11000 in. Due to a long long rehab, I had and still have lots of time to row but I dont do as much now. I used to be too compulsive/competitive.
