Hey,
I'm back and first I wanted to let everyone know that I'm doing a lot more than just rowing!
The new job and the old one, plus school board and this year's mock trial team are keeping me realllllllly busy, not to mention family stuff, household stuff, etc.
But I'm still finding time to row each day, mostly at 0 dark-thirty in the morning! My mini-goal for October was to average 10K meters every day. So far I am on course for that, and my total is over 666,000 meters so far. My million meter goal seems almost within reach - and YES! I am enjoying the journey.
I just had my (now) annual physical - first one since the OHS. Everything is A-OK and the doc even told me not to lose any more weight. I'm waiting for the results of the blood tests and lipid panels, but my pulse and BP were good (resting pulse 64 in the doc's office and BP 100/66). That's with no beta blockers!
We also discussed a colonoscopy - haven't had one before, but I'm 50 now and need one sooner or later. My PCP recommended me to a gastroenterologist who is very experienced in working with warfarin users and will do the colonoscopy while I'm on warfarin - no skipping doses and no bridge therapy. He won't excise any large polyps, but I don't have a family history of that sort of thing and he thinks the risk of a bleeding episode is very low.
So - things are good. Mary, have you gotten your rower yet?
Arbee, how's the rowing going?
I started a rowing club at the Concept 2 online log - just edit your profile to show your club affiliation as "Row Hearty" (yes-it's a weak pun, but what the hey) you can select it from the drop-down list. Then our combined meters will compete with other clubs and university teams.
