This February Somara twisted my arm into participating into this year’s Close the Rings challenge, it’s the newer bar graph on my site you may see. These days it’s mentioning how close I am to the bronze achievement.
Even before I was ensnared in such a competitive endeavor, I have been using my gym’s exercycles in place of running thanks to my knees buckling from my higher weight (it is coming down). Today I finally cross the 100 hour mark the device tracks. I failed to get pictures when I crossed other cool milestones you may see above. Along the way, the exercycle also brings up other trivial things such as how many hours it took to fly to the moon, how many calories the average person burns walking across the whole Grand Canyon or when you’ve traversed the distance between Berlin and Moscow.
The next goal with hours has been bumped up to 500. Yeah, I won’t be finishing that anytime in the near future. So the next milestone I may arrive at will be 50,000 calories. Since I’m averaging around 150 calories/day, this will be achieved in…(checking my Math via calculator)…well, two months. Not bad. I’m dreading when the machine pushes me up to 100,000 calories.
