We are on Day 39 of our voyage around the world. We have clocked up 18,501kms and we have visited Suez, a little island near Yemen, Mumbai, Agra, Kolkata, Andamana Islands, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Koh Sumai, Cambodia, Vietnam, Borneo, Bali, Queensland, Alice Springs, Hong Kong and now we are in Taiwan.
30 travellers got lost along the way. However we still have just about 75 travellers so please don't go wandering too far in Taiwan
Yesterday when my OH went to bed, I was marching on the spot to get my steps in I managed to clock up 9.07kms. A great start to the week.
Thanks for prompt - have been meaning to post - but things are frantic at moment- and home life very full on stressful.....
Pleased to report I did go out yesterday - there were hail stones followed by a strange yellow globe and a patch of blue in the sky - not sure what it was - but is was the same today -lovely.
Moorless I worked it out 5.9 km. Am I correct? Well I did better than yesterday and I still have to remember to put it on when I start my walk not in the middle!
Moorless Haha I went to convert steps to km and typed my number and the results were 5.9. It sounds like they like me and were very generous! I worked it out! Take my number and divide by 1320.
Bd, clip it on to your clothing in the morning and forget about it till you sit down for the night. I wear mine on my bra strap. I put it on first thing and don't think about it till bedtime.
I have just bought a new pedometer to record my steps for the 80 days challenge as my watch won't pick up GPS when I am shopping etc. And need to find another way of building up the kms when it is constantly raining. So I may yet record a few more.
I need to get on that 10km board! Last 10km was before xmas.
I thought Lizzy's idea of marching on the spot is a great idea
I've bought one that goes with my Nintendo DS - using one of those is how I started out last year but that battery went and it was cheaper to buy a new game than just a new pedometer.
Try this Moreless, £13 from Amazon. Basic but does all you need it to do. Steps, distance, aerobic steps, time and calories burned. Also saves 7 days worth. I love mine.
Evening Can't believe we've lost 30 travellers - the vodka jellies weren't that strong !
Did a 5k run today - first time in under 30 minutes - yippee !! Just call me Mo
Add to that a 2 k warm up/down walk/run and I've done 7k.

And Mr Lucca?

He's just out with the dog - I'll report back in when he returns. I'm afraid he'll just have to be reported on my posts if that's ok - getting him organised to post his own would just be a nightmare !!

This is totally fine by me. I have the same trouble with Mr Fizz - you may have seen on the challenge (username is Darrenchef)
• in reply to
Blimey - didn't realise he was Mr Fizz - he does loads of kms !!
• in reply to
And that is all walking!!
• in reply to
That's amazing. Is he a chef ? Is all that walking from his job ?
• in reply to
Yes he is a chef and never sitting. The kitchen is in the basement so he spends alot of time walking up down the stairs to the dining room. And when he's doing a double shift (like today), he'll probably end up clocking about 19kms
Yes, it's a good job hubby works in the evening and I only really see him at weekends, when he also cooks. If it was every night I would be 3x the size I am now! Not so good for him of course, the hours are crap.
Exactly 13 k for me today. Mostly going up the 101 tower and wandering around Taiwan. Strangely I was in Taipeh this time last year, so this trip is bringing back a few memories. I think I'll go to one of the temples later on and listen to a ceremony - that should relax me a bit. Might wander through one of the night markets, but I definitely won't be eating some of the weird things on offer there! Happy travelling everybody!
I am working hard to bank some Kms because I know I probably won't manage any on Thursday due to back to back appointments, so I nearly killed myself to do 25.33 today! (I had to sit down and have a banana-break near the end, phew!)
hi Liz, am snorting with laughter at the thought of you marching on the spot next to your bed. I wish I could wear makeup as well as the lady in your photo.
Total today for me 22.58km
Gorgeous weather in my neck of the woods: I cycled 🚴to a very crowded early morning circuit class⛹🏻 (run by the NHS for working people with bad knees ) and then on to work and thence to the movies. Add in a lunchtime walk, fetching designer coffee for colleagues and some warm up stuff on the rowing machine and treadmill. It all add up. Am on sofa.😴
Hi all, not impressed with all the oops messages!!! Tuesday = 12.1 poorly kms for me, and Ed did 35.3 - 23.2 k spinning, 5.6k steps at work and 6.5k dog walk.
I can't imagine what you're going to be clocking up when you're fighting fit Kate, if those are poorly K's! I see Ed's determined to hang on to the top spot too
30 lost travellers.....probably found a really good restaurant and are filling themselves full of all the forbidden fruits!
Back to reality, 15523steps, 10.4kms today. Had hoped for more but ran out of time! I was out for supper tonight, no alcohol but had a sachet of tartare sauce with my scampi. How many calories are in those sachets I ask myself? You really can't have scampi without it can you? Extra steps tomorrow methinks!
Amazing how far you can travel walking on the spot! I had an aborted cycle to work today - it got too rainy/windy and I just didn't feel up to it so locked my bike at Bethnal Green and took the tube the rest of the way. Had to pick my bike up after work and cycle back from Bethnal Green though, so all in all did 8.08km. Not too bad, but way short of my usual 20km commute...
Some are more bonkers than others. Anyone still cycling once torrential rain has started is probably certifiable
I'm a bit more leisurely and stick to back roads, and like yesterday I know when it's beaten me and I'll admit defeat and take the train instead. Going to attempt to ride to work again today though. Wish me luck!
Hello ladies had a new lampshade fitted in my dining room you my dear Moreless are wearing it's pair 😜
17km spinning this evening and 13.55km walking to gym and work although a kind neighbour took me part of the way to the gym so i missed getting my 20,000 steps way back At the beginning of the challenge I remember how pleased I was to do that many.......
How unfit am I? We got the keys for a new place yesterday and spent the day cleaning, decorating and gardening and I am cream crackered! Even though I could post 2km on Monday there is no way I could do any kms whilst i am doing the work on the new place. Any suggestions? How can the vigours of DIY transfer to kms ??
Hello, I did 8626 steps yesterday... How do you convert that to km?! Sorry it's not up to the 10km mark (again!). Been a bit busy clearing out kitchen cupboards, working etc.
Hi moreless, thanks for the formula. That's great! I've been reporting only what the Moves app on my phone says but it has to be moving in GPS terms to register, and I think you have to have been going for 2 mins as well. The steps are recorded on an ancient Nike fuelband- it doesn't give me distance though. I'm a bit strapped at the mo and not sure when I do commit cash whether it will be some sort of fitbit or some sort of garmin... have to consider as well what might record swimming activity (the fuelband doesn't cos its not waterproof!)
Sorry, I lost track of time, been looking after a poorly grand daughter, who has given me her cold now! So the numbers will be lower for a day or two 😕
3.9 km for Wednesday and just 1.9 km for Thursday. X
