Fall Team Challenge day two of 30
I have fallen off the horse big time. In fact, in Reddit's Fitness subreddit, redditors are so sick of people like me. I've had a terrible failure to launch.

Memories of 911, 15 years on
Every couple years I try to share my own personal memories of September 11th as a 31-year-old resident of Washington, DC.

It's normal to be bad before you’re good
It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close the creativity gap.

I just walked across the African Continent
So, I had been really slowing down on steps in my constant war towards defeating sedentarism towards my 10,000 steps-per-day but I blame my FitBit Surge.

Influencer marketing is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration
People are still inviting me to speak to their students! But who can follow Geoff Livingston? Nobody! Also, there were baked goods. Thank you to the lovely Brigitte Winter!

FitBit Surge gypped me on steps so I added a Zip
I do most of all of my daily steps on my LifeSpan Treadmill Desk DT-5. Since I am working on this desk all day, I am oftentimes leaning over a little, putting pressure on the built-in arms pads with my arms, and typing, typing, typing, isolating my movements so that I can focus on writing emails, contracts, proposals and hours client service work.

RowVigor drives me harder than I can myself

9Round is for everyone -- I need to remember that
I had been under the weather for upwards of two months with Sinusitis. Even before that, I had been suffering from some sciatica and lumbago back pain. As a result. I started to avoid 9Round.

Arlington now has RowVigor studio

Becoming an influencer is the best thing we have done; also, just say no to clients and products that won't work with social media marketing.

Building muscle for rowing
I've actually worked How to Build Muscle for Rowing Review into my workout. The workout is very simple: seven machine-based workouts, four on one day, skip a day, three on the other.

Still not dead last and I gained a wee bit in both pace and time
Last night I ran the second of five Friday night 5k runs in what's called the Crystal City 5k Fridays series sponsored by Pacers Running.

Out of the frying pan onto water
Remember when I was running 5ks? It seems like only yesterday I was literally kicking ass and taking names at 9Round Penrose and doing Pacers-sponsored 5k races. Well, that took a break.

If you post it will they come (to read your blog)?
If you build it, they won’t come unless you get the party started yourself.

How to Build Muscle for Rowing by Jack Gorcika
This is such a simple and persistent gym machine-based workout specifically for rowing and rowers that it just might work.
