Melbourne!
After the usual bout of procrastinating and cold weather, I made it to my latest destination by indoor bike, the Australian city of Melbourne! Putting my cumulative travel to over 8873 miles! Why Melbourne instead of Sydney, the more famous … Continue reading
Ten million steps!
According to the iPhone app Pedometer, I achieved this landmark today! I could’ve been there sooner if it weren’t for COVID-19! It sounds better when you use the caught bad-guy voice from Scooby Doo! The slow progress wasn’t all me being … Continue reading
Dr. says sane and finally, gym action!
Since I took the morning off to see the doctor, I used the time to clear out the chores I kept putting off (laundry mainly). I even had enough to hit the gym, restart yet again, after the doc! He … Continue reading
200,000 calories!
Woo hoo! As I keep getting into the groove of exercising in the morning, I crossed this threshold on the bike at work that tracks all I’ve done on it. No luck on getting it to add what I did … Continue reading
New Delhi achieved!
A very overdue destination! Hell, I was within striking distance in January but I had to get sick, then COVID-19 sick, then Daylight Savings Time acclimation and now I’m back in the groove! Not so much the doctor harping on … Continue reading
Eight thousand miles!
This morning I have hit 32% of the Earth’s circumference. Never thought I would get there given what a bust September had been but I started getting back into my groove last week, slowly with 10 miles, then 11 the … Continue reading
Bangui achieved!
I’m catching up thanks to my ongoing streak which hit 47 days in a row and I have arrived at the Central African Republic city of Bangui. No idea what it looks like. The first I heard of the place … Continue reading
First “perfect” month in half a year!
A job well done for the month of July! Closed all three rings 31 days in a row. I wish I could say I succeeded in them being achieved by cycling 17 miles every time. Today was the exception because … Continue reading
Mileage goal achieved at gym! Five thousand!
Success! I now have 5000 miles logged on this particular type/brand of exercise bike which is what I’ve done about two thirds of my worldwide journey on. I didn’t stick around to see which number/target followed. I had plans, namely … Continue reading
Two great goals today!
As you can see from the virtual little prize above, I have closed all three of my rings 26 times in a row but the Challenge was to just pull it off within 31 days so I guess you’d get … Continue reading
Caloric goal achieved at gym!
It would be there sooner for a couple reasons that we all know, Covid-19 and not going to Planet Fatness. When I logged into the bike today, I was relieved that it set the next calorie goal to 200,000 since … Continue reading
Beijing achieved!
Rather bummed that Beijing doesn’t have a city flag like all the other places I’m arriving at but I’ll take this little victory on my virtual trip around the world. I owe the more recent destination’s success to stepping up … Continue reading
Seven thousand miles!
Last week I got past six weeks in time for exercise but the duration covers all kinds of exercise: indoor bike, outdoor bike, stair master and running on a treadmill. Today I have gone over 28% the circumference of the … Continue reading
Six weeks of exercise attained!
Let’s see. If we divided those six weeks by the number of days it took to hit this landmark over the last 12 years…I’m averaging around 14 1/2 minutes of exercise a day when ideally it should be 30. Yeah, … Continue reading
Double Move hits 500!
Again, not bad that this took almost seven years to achieve as I go through exercising in fits and starts; I did pull off my second day in a row with the hopes this could lead to another month streak!
