THE OFFICIAL VNA EXERCIZE & FITNESS DEPARTMENT...

Lance, it’s not an IPhone. It’s a big so-and-so (I saw a picture, lol.) Probably took Vicky a day to just open the box and take it out.

Day 2 to set it up and turn it on.

Day 3: “What? There’s teams?”

I know, I know. I was pulling her leg.

If it was an iphone, it would take longer than a day to set it up.

[WalterB]

I was pulling your leg, lance.

[lance_s]

I was pulling your leg, lance.

I think you were just angling for an invite as the cox....

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Ouch! I hurt my spleen .....

Anyone following the women's world cup down under?

Or the Ashes in Blighty?

Not really but I heard Norway is in it...

I rowed yesterday for 50 minutes, I have never rowed that long before it was over 10,000 m I did stop a couple of times for just a min because my butt hurt sitting on that hard seat... by the end of that I had blisters on both hands and one heel LOL..... who knew!

I slept like a baby last night!

10K in 50 minutes is a pretty good pace. That's faster than I could run 10K.

Norway lost 1-0 to New Zealand in the opening game. Major upset - Norway are ranked 12, New Zealand are 26.

Well that sucks big time! I I rowed even better today! I came in first in my age group!

Exercise guru Vicky Vette has been bugging me for years to get off my dead butt and exercise a little. Before my recent vacation, Vicky sent me the contact info for an incredible exercise artiste'. Well, she motivated me and I actually did a few things while I was on vacation. Worked out in a gym, mostly arm weights. Then I went out one night and walked a half-mile. Man! I feel great. Why look at the difference.

After taking Vicky's suggestions. Do you think it's worth continuing

Vicky loves to exercise. She loves it and works hard to stay in such great shape. (No pun intended, but, I understand, lol.)

But I know thar Rokkerr was also a great motivator.

Had a doctor appointment today and apparently I have lost between 10 and 15 pounds in the last three months. I guess the walks in the 90+ degree heat have made a difference. I am down 25 pounds from my highest weight a couple years ago. A few more pounds lost and I will be below 200. I don't think I have been below 200 pounds (91 kilos) since the latter part of the Reagan administration, LOL.

[stickyvicky]

Holy cow Daviest that is amazing! Do you feel different?

Captain Lance! That is incredible - how impressive and inspirational! If I could just get back to my 10-minute miles I would be thrilled... I haven't been running for almost a year because of this damn sciatica / piriformis or whatever the hell it is thing that hurts in my butt! I can only run one or two miles slowly now as a word warm up and my real workout is the rower and weights.

I came in first in my rowing again this morning, that's the 55 to 59 year old age group, but I always check the other age groups to just for fun, and there is a lady who is 62 that puts me to shame every time, so I'm going to have to up my game as I get older because in a year and a half we will both be in the 60-65 group and I won't be first anymore at my current pace.

I got to say I've improved just in the month that I've had the rower though, I started off at 2:30 for 500 meters and now I'm at 2:05! My goal is to get under 2! Then I'll feel like I have accomplished something.

The difference between the men's times and the women's times is huge though! The men are at 1:30!

[WalterB]

Pretty good, Vicky.

[Davest]

Holy cow Daviest that is amazing! Do you feel different?

Yes, absolutely! The last time I was at this weight, I was married.

Thanks Vicky. But you must have misread something somewhere. I have never done a 10 minute mile - that is my target. My best time so far is about 10:30.

Good for you in your rowing, but you've got to watch out for those old ladies. When I participate in a timed road run, I usually find that my position among the over 60 men is better than my position in the over 60s for both genders. There are a lot of fast ladies out there!! (eg. 3rd amongst the over 60 men, 10th amongst the over 60s overall).
