    M water is done for day. I will vote for docking the boat. I am having quite a bit of difficulty keeping up the exercise. I can reasonably burn 300 cals a day but that is all. I have 3 young children and a 1 hour commute each way. Kids start school in one week and I have no idea how that will affect my workout routine. I have had alot of fun nad there have been countless days that I would not have exercised if it werent for not wanting to let you lovely ladies down.

    If the group decides to carry on, I will be more than happy to. I just cant promise big burns every day.

    Thanks Jen for being an awesome captain and a wonderful motivator!!!

    That's FANTASTIC, Sue!!! WTG!!!

    So.....I'm still waiting to hear back from 6 of my Knotty Girls to determine if we're going to keep going. So, here's the decision that I'm making.......

    If you want to keep rowing, please keep sending me your calorie burns each day. If you don't, I promise I won't be mad. :-) But I really want to see us finish this thing. And if I have to row this boat back to England by myself, that I'll do that. :-) You girls have been a huge inspiration to me and really are the reason that I push to get at least 1000 cals burned every day. I'm glad to have you all on my team and I am so happy to made all of your friendships!

    So....On that note, Lee is giving us one rest/water day and 2 quadruple days this week. Anyone have any suggestions as to what we do on which days? I'd like to have another quad day tomorrow, as I'm doing Zumba & swimming tomorrow night. Wednesday would be really difficult for me to do a quad day. And I'm cool with whenever being Water day.

    Please let me know what you all think!!!

    I'm trying to keep the same routine all week, so whatever works best for others is cool with me. Glad we are going to keep going.

    Awesome job, Sue!! You are so rockin it, Girl!!!

    Okay, here's what I've decided on the days this week. Today was/is a double double day. I'm going to make Friday the other double double because that seemed to work out nicely for everyone last week (and this week, I'll get to participate, since there will be no car buying happening! :-)) And we'll make Sunday our water day.

    Also, just a note, we did have one crewmember decide to just overboard. Lindsay has decided to jump ship. She has a lot going on in her life and hasn't been able to report in as much as she'd like. So, I'm on the hunt for a new crewmember. I asked Lee today if it's okay that I replace her, still waiting to hear back from him, but I'm assuming it's alright. If anyone knows of anyone that might like to join us (and doesn't mind being forced to work out super hard by this ***** of a captain ;-)), let me know!!!

    Hey Chickies!!!! I have some exciting news!!!!

    We have two new team members. Lindsay & Nicole had to jump ship, but we found some swimmers at sea and scooped 'em up!!!

    Our new members are:

    peterscr7 (Christina) & 500lbs2marathon (Gary)


    :noway: :noway: :noway: Yes, Girls....We have a man on board. Behave yourselves.....Or try to....;-)

    Christina & Gary - just some clarification - please either PM me or post here with your calories burned for the day. If you don't, I will hunt you down and creep on your diary, but it's so much easier for me if you just send it. :-)

    In addition to the regular days where 50 calories = 1 mile, we sometimes have special days where we get to multiple our calories burned by 2, 3 or even 4!!! Yesterday was a Quad day and this Friday will also be a Quad day. On these days, it's not required that you do an uber super burn, but if you can, I might throw some extra love your way. ;-)

    Finally, once a week, we have a water/rest day. On this day, any calories that you burn DO NOT count toward our miles for the day. Instead, we count the cups of water that you drink. Each cup of water is worth 10 miles, up to 9 cups per person. This week, that day falls on Sunday. So on Sunday, instead of reporting your calories, just let me know that you've had your 9 cups of water (you better drink up, or I'll come get you!!! ;-))

    I think that's about it. If you'd like to see the spreadsheet where I track all of our miles, it's here:
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArutZf2a6Ry5dEc3U01aYm5mc3NXLWszVUhSZ1ZoWXc&hl=en_US#gid=0

    Gary - I'll try to remember not to refer to you as one of my girls.........*giggles*

    Hey Girls (& Gary *giggles*)!!!!

    Here's the deal with this week (and all weeks going forward):

    3 double double (quad) days & 1 water day

    I think we need to rethink how we arrange our days. We should have water/rest day the day after a quad day. This week, Saturday was incredibly low. I didn't hear from half of the team. So, I hope having a rest day after the last quad day of the week will help....

    So, what's everyone thinking???? I have a crazy hectic schedule this week. Tomorrow would probably be good for a quad day for me. Anything else, I'm open to suggestions.

    My long run days are typically on Sunday, so having a rest day on Sunday stinks, lost out on 1633 cals burned..

    Okay Loves,
    I decided to change it up this week. We still have two more double double days and a rest day to knock out. So, here's how it's gonna go.....

    Friday - Double Double
    Saturday - Rest/Water
    Sunday - Double Double

    I know this might not be the *most* convenient for everyone, but I wanted to be fair and switch it around a little bit.

    Please work hard and get in some good burns on Friday & Sunday. We're getting close, y'all!!! There's only one boat between US and the finish line. Assuming no one jumps up from behind, it's looking like we'll finish 7th, which isn't too shabby, considering when we started, there were (I think) 23 boats!!!
