I know what you mean - related thing: my school (public government) for ALL years, their school reports both mid-year and final, are printed on firmer pale blue paper, & in a printed glossy cardboard folder. My girls, who went to a very expensive private school (on scholarships), school reports, including their final senior one (!!) were ....

emailed. So tacky, and cheap. Annual fees are ~$20 000.

Needing to get through more virgins, and having an aversion to repeating (within a month), I'm leaning more towards the XTrain combo. I'll let you know when mine arrives - it'll be a toss-up which comes first - your election results or my parcel!

Here's to a solid November!

I say we just throw it back and say no thanks if it's not to our liking.

Sounds like a plan, buff! It's already not starting off great in my world.

Helen, that sounds fine to me. I have only done a few of the XTrain workouts so it'll still be mostly all new to me! That's crazy that their reports were just emailed when you paid that much!

I'm gonna have to row twice tmrw for Rowvember. I never heard back from Shane and got busy so I never tried to figure out a time equivalent till tonight.

Oh WE didn't pay that much - our girls were on academic scholarships.

Well that's good! But still, the principle of it.

Well I heard back from Dark Horse Rowing this morning, which I appreciate. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be helpful. He gave me a list of 5 apps and the only one that appeared it might help is apparently only for Apple devices so I'm still left trying to guess everything on my own. I'll keep trying but I have a feeling I won't stick with it for the month. It's too much mental work. But I'll see what I can do; even if I just do one of his YT videos every day or even row on my own I should see some benefit and be actually using my equipment. I told hubby last night if he ever sees of anyone at work getting rid of a flywheel or water rower to let me know. I told him the price range on them and his jaw dropped. I was like yeah, so I'll never have one unless I can find one used that someone is just really motivated to get rid of!

I never did end up getting in a formal workout today. Cyric and I walked a couple miles then I took my car in to the shop and walked 2 1/2 miles while I waited. Ran a couple errands then came home and really dug into undecorating before I had grief group tonight. Tmrw the truck goes in for an oil change so I'll get in another good walk after the morning one with Cyric. I don't think I have any more errands so the plan is to workout when I get home. I've decided I'm not going to try doubling up if I miss a day (or more) of rowing, I'm just going to try to get through 30 days as soon as I can (meaning not missing for no reason).

Thursday night = Kick Max - Low Impact Timesaver Mix

Got excited when I came home to a parcel, but it was a car part for DH.
Tracker says it reached Australia at 11am yesterday (Wed), which I expect means Sydney, so hoping for tomorrow.
