The sports equipment hireing company in HB that flatmate and i have been looking at have finally come back to us and said they won't be getting the Concept 2 machine in to hire out. Mate went in months ago and they said they were looking at getting few so we have waited...and waited. <br />
Is there any other places anyone knows that hire these machines out? -
I did the hour the last time I got fit about 3 years ago, was tough mentally and physically but felt awesome to complete it, can't remember the distance though!!<br />
<br />
Will be a while before willie has another crack at that - but another "mini-target" on the journey............. -
go all out and buy one you lazy buggers - [url="http://www.concept2.co.nz/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Machines___Monitors_2.html"]http://www.concept2.co.nz/acatalog/Onli ... ors_2.html[/url]<br />
<br />
2500 bucks give you all the pain that you coulds ever want...<br />

Wouldn't it be more fun to spend that on beer? You could give yourself similar pain I'm sure <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
Almost tipped up today, but managed to stay strong (ish).<br />
<br />
ONly an evening row 6000 metres, 23:42.5.<br />
<br />
Absolutly knackered from yesterdays evening row and weights session, legs feel like spahetti, and once again, sod all weights, just not having done legs or deadlits for a week, and back to bloody square one. legs for years probably.<br />
<br />
But managed to drag my arse to the rower once home, and feel better for it. Even managed a haircut and a shave afterwards, so looking good <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -

<br />
Got to get a light session in there for muscle recovery. Sure the rowing's doing a bit but throw a few leg presses and deadlifst in there at 50% of your absolute max and you'll be feeling peachy tomorrow <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
Howz the no alcohol going Bart? I got dragged out last night by a couple of mates, told them the old desicnated driver story, iced water all night.
-
Friday - nothing, feeling a little crook, and couldn't be arsed basically, so did nothing but lie on couch and watch comm games and sevens wins...<br />
<br />
Saturday morning - row 5000 20:13.0<br />
<br />
Long slow row, still not feeling 100%, dammit. -
Ugly weekend, fish and chips and such, but even BFL lets you have the day off right? I just made it two - Pizza for dinner on Staurday, Fish and Chiups on Sunday, and bloody nice tooÂ
<br />
<br />
Back to real world though, Monday morning row:Â 5500Â 21:34.3<br />
Breaky that healthy cerial shit, trim milk. -
Could have been worse Bart, could have had some cold Heinies to wash the Fish n chips down with!!<br />
<br />
And yeap BFL lets you have a cheat day. -
subway for dinner last night, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, subway. but was strong, and didn't have my normal meatballs, had some roast chicken or something, Still good.<br />
<br />
This morning:Â Rowed 5500Â 22:01.0<br />
<br />
About as motivated as a soggy weetbix at the moment... -
Yes I know how you feel Bart - but perhaps you need a change of scenery. Go for a power walk or jog on the sand down at Whanga or something. The rower is always good but you risk becoming stagnant if that is most of your exercise. Running around the oval certainly made me appreciate my bike a lot more <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
-
Does that scenery thery apply to your misses as well Nick?? :2funny:
-
yeah NTA , got loads of forestry tracksm around, was thinking I might get up early and walk uphill for half an hour, and then turn around and come back.<br />
<br />
J8ust a passing phase, had them before and will have them again.<br />
<br />
I have rower set up so I can wing TV around and watch while I row, takes your mind right off it. Series one and two of MASH getting viewed at the moment!! -

<br />
Have you any secrets to share about how you overcome the "can't be bothered" feelings which inevitably accompany the beginning of some sessions? :nta
