Well....I went to watch the Silverstone half marathon today as my brother and his mate were in it.
My brothers mate was there to hopefully win it, it's a strong field and a grand in prize money...he went through 3 miles in 15 minutes  . My bro was just under 18 minutes.
I thought back to this little comp on MT and my hard fought 19 and a half minute 3 miler LOL

well done mate !! got a few now so mabie more will try !!
i did 3 miles today for sport relief in 19:22 , i was pretty fooked !! but happy with sub 19:30
i wouldnt mind seeing some of these 70+ pressups, so can someone get a vid camera out.
not that hard to flim , its not that i dont believe you (because i do) but im fairly fit and strong and cant get past 40 (last 3 tries 39,39,40) so to improve by 5,10+ is some going.

Done my rowing 
2000 meter in 7min 25 seconds.
First time I've done a quick session on the rower.... and I think I started off way too quick got to 1000 meters and was in a fair bit of pain... pace slowed down but still manage to get under my sub 8 min target

Just a note on the Concept 2 Rower...
Of the 10 resistance settings, Level 10 will be much harder to pull but will give you a greater distance per stroke, whereas Level 1 will be a much easier pull but give you less distance per stroke.
Therefore the big, strong, less CV fit guys/gals might want to try a higher setting; the lighter speed merchants might choose a lower level.
I, personally change resistance depending on the distance I'm doing - higher for short distances, lower for longer rows.
Hope this helps.
Sam
I suppose I'd better post a time soon and put my money where my mouth is
