Million Meter Challenge

[goosehd]

A million meters (1000 km's, 600 miles) in 100 days.

Walk, Run, Cycle, Swim, Row, or your choice or combination of physical activity(ies).

Just an honour system and a way to share and encourage each other to complete the distance.  Share your pictures, weight loss/gain and help to motivate us all.

Start whenever you want, but you only have the 100 days to finish the challenge.

Checkin when you can, but weekly updates would be great.

@Madame Buttonfly and I are in…..

[goosehd]

I'm going to try and complete this challenge by rowing on the concept 2 rower.  Started on June 1st and hopefully will reach my goal by the 1st of September.  Really pushing for the middle of August (my birthday) and a pretty big milestone (50 years).

Also trying to lose about 10 pounds…(we'll see).

Good luck to all who join!!

[Giles]

God, I'd love that milestone….....

a friend recently said to me "Don't let anybody tell you there's no difference between 70 and 80"    ???

[goosehd]

  …but if you're speeding, the cops think it's a big deal.

I’m ready! Let’s do this. Great idea, Dennis.

Very excited you guys have joined in the challenge and can't wait to see how everyone does.  Thank you very much!

Just did a 50k run

[Giles]

OK, you win 

[goosehd]

I'm on day 5 and at a total of 48,389 m so far and you just did that in one day…   You sir, are a rockstar!!

[goosehd]

@Nkwkfld Are you able to train the next day after completing that level of a training session?  Do you take a few days off?

I've done quite a few century bike rides (100 mile's - although haven't attempted that distance in the last 10 years) and a 30 km row, but I'm absolute crap for the next few days until I've recovered.

I’ve done a few of these 50k runs as training for the 100k event I’m doing in July and yes I do train the next day, but it’ll be mostly body weight strength training or easy swimming. Usually helps get rid of the soreness.

geeziz … I'm with Giles, you win.  here's my paltry contribution.  I'm a colonial, we don't understand the whole meter thing. 
And @neph93 -spare me the pedo jokes

Here’s yesterday’s contribution from me.

@sabergirl Seeing that map reminds me of the week I spent in your area.  Wife had a conference at the Grove Park Inn and I spent a week exploring.  Beautiful area!!

…and the food at the Grove Park is some of my favourite I ever experienced (not that the scenery didn't help or the wine).

Only read this today. Great initiative, @goosehd I'm also in.
ATM my thing is gravel biking. Did 41km each on friday and today.
Only 918km more to go. Thanks for giving some ambition.

Add 6500m for a track run with about 20 others in drizzly Portsmouth this morning. 4x1km with 90 second rest in between and warm up/cool down easy laps.
