Apologies if you have had trouble getting on yesterday's thread. We will put up two threads - Part 1 will be for tonight thru until tomorrow morning and then Part 2 for the rest of the day. When you see Part 2 thread on the forum, please do not post on Part 1. Hopefully this will enable everyone to post their kms/miles/steps and should mean that Moreless will find it easier and quicker to respond to you all.
Well I know I am a Londoner and no doubt a Southerner wimp. But for me, today was absolutely Baltic and yet I managed to walk 8.31 kms. The fire alarm helped - got me out of the office and I went for a brisk walk. How did everyone else do?
Yesterday we did great and still with travellers to check-in, achieved 507kms. Another fantastic achievement
We are now on Day 26 of our voyage around the world and I have managed to get us back on the tropical luxury cruiser. Lazy river, volcano waterfalls, glass bottom swimming pool, crazy golf and much more. Pina coladas back on the menu and a very special guest singing for us tonight - Barry Manilow (no he hasn't popped his clogs!)
Get on that dancefloor and shake those hips '....music and passion was always the fashion at the Copa Copacabana...'
The winter dog walking really sorts you out doesn't it. In the dark, mud, rain, frost, wind, snow- you name it. It can be pretty desperate. Particularly if you end up slipping or falling over. I think there must be a kennel full of dogs towing along behind us!
Woohoo! How fantastic- what fun having Bazza on board! And the swimming pool is fantastic, my pineapple juice and soda is divine- and I've clocked an incredibly cold (oops! I mean warm laps round the deck!) but satisfying 10.7km and 5.03km- please forgive me going to a second decimal point but I'm feeling so chuffed to have made it back to 5.03km in 32:56 😀
I love this boat and I am very glad that Barry is still alive and well!
Today was an intense and demanding day, which is why I worked out so long and hard yesterday as I knew I wouldn't be able to get much exercise in. I shall also try and make up for it tomorrow as well.
Anyway a rather sad and embarrassing 2Kms for me today - sorry everyone!
Thanks Moreless and well done to you for picking up the slack!
Oh no - I'm having a Tibetan herb flashback with that boat ....
10.6k dog walks for me today
Can't believe how amazingly well everyone is doing. If you'd have told me at the beginning of January that we would manage to beat or come close to the total every day, I'd have said 'no way' !
Just a thought though Lizzy - aren't we on day 16 not day 26 ? or am I confused ? (easily done !)

Our first day was Day 10 because of our credit kms from North Pole and rest of December 😃😃
The dog is pleased as for the first time in ages we ventured back into the fields in the valley, as they have begun to dry out a bit more now - too slippy beforehand. So she's had a good run around off lead and I am calmer because I don't have to spend my time preventing her from eating random yucky stuff off the pavement
Hi moreless, no worries i have had words. The runny nose its horrible and I cant seem to stop it then it stops and I cant breathe, think hubby pleased for some peace and quite then!
I can't believe how much this is motivating me to use the exercise bike that I borrowed from my sister in law! (she lent it me in June....I think)! Absolutely love it once I get going and listening to the random 80's and 90's tunes 🎵🎵on my phone really helps too.🎶🎶 and singing along 🎤😀🎤
Night all I'm off to bed now, its been a very long and busy day at work.
They really do moreless and all yours and everyone else's support on this forum! I very much doubt I will be investing in the real thing as where I live there are far to many very big hills and walking up some of them is challenging enough!! 😀
Busy preparing for tomorrow's guest plus doggie sitting ( walking really) helped me clock up 9.54 kms. Paths are slowing progress as not all the snow has cleared. Pleased with my mileage and new pedometer👍
Only 4.8 km today (mostly in airports). Will have to spend some time in the swimming pool to earn my cocktails. I think I'll skip Barry Manilow and just chat at the bar. But if you could get AC/DC .....
I'm also a soft southerner - cycled 22.12km around London today with double socks and double gloves - but still had numbness in my smallest fingers and toes - and it wasn't even below freezing today. I've got no idea how anyone's managing to cope further north of here! Must be made of significantly sterner stuff I reckon! Happy travels everyone, and stay warm
I wasn't much better when I had more 'insulation' ML. I think it's my Raynauld's more than a lack of flesh - my fingers and toes always suffer when it gets cold like this! And ears and nose I think tomorrow will have to be a day off from the cycling. But I'll be back on it Friday hopefully
I cycled 8 miles yesterday and I live further north. Feet were freezing! Do you have proper cycling socks & shoes or could you recommend ways of preventing cold feet cycling - I'm slightly scared of going to a cycling place & them recommending something expensive.
Could always go for 4 pairs of socks but not sure my trainers will fit!
Her name was Flossie she was a show girl, ( and did 14.1 kms today), with yellow feathers in her hair and her dress cut to .......... there !!💃🏻
Just in from seeing Hairspray , I can hear the bells !!
16.3kms for me today's counting a bit of run and Zumba but got told off in "speed" (it's all relative) training this evening thought I had cramp but have been told muscles are probably fatigued 🚳So no spin for me tomorrow need to get myself ready for Sunday's long run..........
Alan, those steps mean the world to us, because you put your heart and soul into them. What more could we ask of anyone? I'm proud to call you a fellow traveller
hi there that means the world what you have said, its different to what other people have said, its brought a tear to my eyes, that's very kind of you. thank you Alan xx
10.38km for Wednesday 20th January. It was pretty chilly up here in the north of Scotland. Got my walk out of the way on my lunch break so I didn't have to venture out after work
Just wondering how much time everyone is spending clocking up all these kms? I know I have to walk dogs as others do, but for people who don't have to do that anyway how much extra time is this challenge taking? I came home from work yesterday, walked the dogs for an hour then went out again for 45 mins to warm up run and warm down again...
My main kms are spin cycling at the gym I do 5 classes a week Monday Thursday and Tuesday, should be there now but have been told to rest calves👎🏾, can do 13-19kms in a class, and since wearing Fitbit can clock up3,000+ in Zumba and insanity, I walk to and from work each day so that's 5k a day 4 days a week. I do two body pump a week but they don't attract kms. Got no childs to worry about so I can please myself what I do
dh comes to spin and we are training for Paris marathon in April so will do some long runs too
I'm a lazy retiree rainshine, so can spread my cycling over the day, or indulge in long walks with no time constraints.
I take my hat off to the workers of the world, who are being really conscientious about getting in their daily exercise
8.3 miles for me yesterday. Walked with a friend and yea it was very cold but bright and sunny. The puddles were all frozen. Cloudier today for us in Devon.
Hi lizzie, can't wait to get on that boat ... It looks fabulous! Only 3 k from me yesterday. Got stuck behind the desk 😠😠 hoping for more today but overslept this morning ... Maybe running to catch up will help lol
