A personal challenge to myself

Rowing machine from Concept2

The month of October was not a good exercise month for me so, I am challenging myself to row, on the device pictured above, a minimum of 50,000 meters per week for the rest of the year. My plan is to row 10,000 meters a day, 5 days a week, until December 31st. This will put my rowing total for the year at slightly over 1.4 million meters (that's ~870 miles for those of you who have not converted yet). I will post my times at the end of every week here on my blog as my "proof."

My kids quote of the week

One evening earlier this week the girls were watching "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" when A. asks rhetorically, "How come Snoopy doesn't talk?" Then, unexpectedly, M. exclaims, "Dogs don't talk, silly!"
