Hi I have a lot to lose and just starting out. I love rowing and want to motivate myself to keep going this time and succeed. I row about 3 to 4 times a week at the moment, however I want to push myself therefore:
I am going to start a personal challenge to row daily for at least 15 mins per day for every day in August. Would love to have some of you join me. I need to be accountable and start a new me that will do this for years to come.

Hi! I'm new to using the community features of mfp and would really benefit from some accountability as well. I'm with you on this!1

August 1: Time 15:06. Distance: 3,193 meters.0

My rowing is very sporadic at the moment, but only 15 minutes a day is very reasonable. I can't promise it will be daily for me (I already missed August 1st since I only saw the challenge the day after
) but certainly more frequently than now.
August 2: 15 minutes - 2595 meters.0 -

Thank you, Margaret! If it were Winter, I'd be all over this. Since it's summer, I rarely touch the machine, rather rowing around 7k on water 4 days a week, when weather allows; and I'm not sure how I'd count those here anyway because they're multi-person boats.
Other folks here: In case you don't already know about it, and if you got in 10K during August 1-7, are rowing on a Concept 2 machine, and might entertain an increasing challenge, I'll point out that the Concept 2 Dog Days of Summer Challenge is also happening now. More info here:
https://log.concept2.com/challenges/dog-days
In brief, it's:
Week 1, Aug. 1–7: 10,000 meters
Week 2, Aug. 8–14: 20,000 meters
Week 3, Aug. 15–21: 30,000 meters
Week 4, Aug. 22–28: 40,000 meters
You'd need to log the meters in a logbook there.
It's about the only challenge they do all year where both machine and on-water meters count. I've done it some in the past. At my usual schedule, week 1 and 2 can happen via usual on-water meters . . . then it gets challenging 😉.
They have other challenges over the course of each year, of varying difficulty. Can be a fun motivator!1 -

Interesting, but perhaps a bit too ambitious for me on the later weeks (trying to combine with running and strength training) 🙂2 -
