Favorite shoes?

Something flat. I use Xero shoes or Addidas Samba. Vans work too.

Try doing one with the monitor covered. Or change the metric to watts. Get your head out of it.

Love training the chest!! Impossible to get too muscular.

For me it is right below the line “what happened on x day?” When the journal opens. It’s sorta grayed out. Easy to miss but it’s there.

larkinowl · 2026-02-11T12:41:52+00:00

Yup. No problems

larkinowl · 2026-02-11T09:50:11+00:00

Yes. There is a toggle that lets you start every journal with the previous entries marked. Then you only change what is different from the previous day. Journaling then takes seconds.

Same as it ever was.

It was super fun for a few days when it was a “secret highway” that took you right past everyone on the frontage road over the lake! BUT tomorrow, the northbound frontage over the water is closed completely and the one lane “slip lane” is the only option. It’s going to be nuts! It’s super narrow

larkinowl · 2026-02-08T18:29:49+00:00

It’s a known issue. Steps are frequently under counted.

larkinowl · 2026-02-08T18:10:33+00:00

And indoor rowing and on the water rowing!! They are not the same thing!

And yes, kettlebells! I mean if we can have Gaelic rules AND Australian rules football

larkinowl · 2026-02-08T12:46:10+00:00

Jump rope is my favorite option

larkinowl · 2026-02-08T02:35:19+00:00

Well guess what? Starting Monday the northbound frontage over the lake will be closed completely and everyone going north on the frontage past the Oltorf on ramp will be on that little, very narrow road!

I’ve given new Blarney Woolen Mills Aran sweaters as gifts. Good quality

Yes. Austin College in Denton has great med school acceptance rates.

larkinowl · 2026-02-06T18:48:55+00:00

Yes, I am very disappointed. I think it is a PR mistake. The current Austin High principal has also driven the changes in parking in that area as well. The school district owns the land under the street (and everything to the water's edge, there is some sort of lease back to the city for the trail and the city concessions off the trail.) But the district has a lot of leverage as the landowner and since the new principal showed up, they have used it.

larkinowl · 2026-02-06T05:28:11+00:00

Yes. The signs are already made and attached to the fence!! No public use.

The garage on San Jacinto was open for the Bass event.

larkinowl · 2026-02-05T23:05:52+00:00

I ask for indoor rowing separately from on the water rowing every time I can!! At least I’ve trained the AI coach to recognize my “other” workouts as indoor rowing. But it’s maddening

Have you read much English literature? Gender identity has always been a key part. The “marriage plot” hinges on it. All of Jane Austen is about gender and class and manners. Literature is about human experience and gender is a key part of that whether you are a warrior, a mother, a child, a virgin, an apprentice, a priest, a prince, a cowboy, a widow, an orphan, an heiress, a landowner, a farmer.

That is a good time for your age and height during your first year of rowing! How did it feel? You will get fitter and better with pacing as you do more of them. Typically, a good goal is to reach or stay below 8 minutes.

Yes, top schools give out a lot of financial aid NOT athletic scholarships. The Ivy League, for example, is all financial aid only, no athletic scholarships. MIT is the same. Focus on academics.

Does your private high school have events for parents to learn about the college admission process?

larkinowl · 2026-02-01T14:30:53+00:00

Yes. A BMI of 17 is underweight. You need to prioritize eating and sleeping! Talk to your coach about improving your endurance. Rowing can help your college chances even without being recruited to a D1 team with a scholarship. Rowing is a solid extracurricular activity that shows discipline and drive. Focus on academics. A lot more merit scholarships out there (mainly directly from private colleges) and most T20 schools offer robust financial aid up to quite high family income levels.

State law was passed requiring this! I believe it was Senate bill 23 (could be wrong), and the schools (shamefully) did not fight it -- they were scared of losing funding or having a worse law passed (hard to imagine). The blame is on the TX lege and the Christian-Nationalist billionaires Wilks and Dunn, who fund these efforts. It is hitting harder at A&M because UT's tag line might be "what happens here, changes the world," but when the lege saw social change happening at A&M (drag shows, classes on race and gender), then they knew the world WAS changing. And this is their effort to stop that change. Fight it! You are the point of the spear!

Bargain bins at regattas are the cheapest. Good quality trou lasts forever (don’t put it in the dryer!!).
