Fantastic! Wonderful! Yippee!

[jimmie 48]

I have been watching Rich's progress for some time now. He has been inching ever closer to the finish line.

His quest? This is how it reads in his Stats Journal................

In the UK, the two furthest points apart are LANDS END and JOHN O'GROATS. Lands End is the furthest south in England you can get and John O'Groats is the furthest north in Scotland you can get. It is a very common fundraiser / Charity thing that people do, to cycle or walk this distance. The distance is 973 mile (1,560 kilometres).

Well, this is his latest entry....

FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last night (wednesday) I covered

3.2 k running on the treadmill
3k on the rowing machine

1560k done

CONGRATULATIONS ON A JOB WELL DONE AND FINISHING YOUR CHALLENGE, MY FRIEND!

Re: Fantastic! Wonderful! Yippee!

2big, my next challenge I have set myself is to cover 1000 kilometres on every piece of equipment.

Although running and cycling I will permit myself to do outside.

The 1,560k challenge was a heck of a challenge when I first started too.

The pieces of equipment are as follows -

Treadmill
Eliptical Trainer
Rowing Machine
Stationary Bike.

(all in the gym)

and then

Outside for Running and Cycling also.

Rich
do you know your starting measurement/weight and what they are now? did you keep record of that?

[Richt]

Re: Fantastic! Wonderful! Yippee!

No. I just know my starting weight. I didnt ever take measurements. One of my biggest regrets really, however I have kept my biggest ever pair of trousers and my biggest shirt. They are always fun things to try on! lol
