Done.  My challenge meters are all logged, and it was a good month.  Rowing duration rose consistently, and the pace kept getting whittled down.  A couple pounds came off.  

My current plan is to keep on this linear progression till something cracks or someone convinces me I'm being dumb.  Final row was 22 minutes with a 2:35.5 pace goal, for 4247 meters.  Breaking a sweat but can carry on a conversation.

One month to go, literally.  I leave for Vegas on May 15.

Well done!

Good job guys.  I slacked off the past two weeks.  Coworker was out on leave and I was covering for him.  I was absolutely wore out each day when I got home.

The challenge is over, but I still have my mid-May goal to keep me motivated.  Weight is still coming off, even as I build some muscle.

I had a doctor's appointment last week.  My blood pressure is down 20 points.  Right there is a massive win!

Took a couple days off, because bodies need a break now and then, but I'm still rowing.  Right around a 2:30 pace now, nothing special, but for me focusing on duration rather than pace seems to be working.

There's a joke about GD in there somewhere. Seriously - great accomplishment!
