Back again!!
Hi all
Am posting this thread to help myself and to stop myself from backing out of a challenge I've been set by a friend.
Having not done any exercise in years I've bought myself an exercise bike. I was talking to a friend who lives in Scotland and telling her I need some kind of motivation to get on it so she decided to set me a challenge.
From where I live in West Yorkshire it's a 1239km round trip to her house in Inverness. So by the 1st December I'm aiming to cycle the equivalent of this journey at home.
When I first wrote it down it didn't seem so bad - until I realised it's 13km a day, every day. And I work ridiculous shifts where I often do seven ten hour shifts in a row. And I haven't been on an exercise bike in years.
I started yesterday and managed to cycle 20k - don't ask me how!! I stuck the tv on (The Biggest Loser Australia for motivation!) and went for it. I'm not gonna be able to do 13k a day so on the days when I can I'm going to do as much as possible.
So this is my challenge diary. Every time I cycle - even if it's only 1km - I'll post up here.
Wish me luck!!!
1239km
01/09/12 - 20km = 1219km to go
