Row, Row, Row My Boat

I finally felt up to getting back to the gym today.  For some reason I had an extremely nervous stomach, but I managed to finish the class and row 4,400 meters.  That's a good thing because my gym has started a challenge to "Row the River".  We're rowing the length of the Kalamazoo River, which is 166 miles (slightly over 267,000 meters).  It sounds like a lot, but I'm up for the challenge!  It started on May 9th, but since I've been sick, I'm a week behind everyone.  I have typically been rowing in a group class once a week. However, if I'm going to finish this, I'm definitely going to have to step it up! My 4,400 meters translates to 2.7 miles.  So, if my calculations are right, at this rate I'm going to have to row 61 days to finish. There aren't 61 more Thursdays before it ends in August, so I need to add a day or two a week somewhere.  My goal is going to be to row 5,000 meters at a time to catch up. I'm excited to keep everyone updated on my progress!
