    Mastering the side splits. ^^ I've always admired flexible people, and I always felt that doing the splits was one important move that demonstrated flexibility.

    Great job!! What did you do exactly and how long did it take?? :-) @neldabg

    My best fitness achievement ... so far this year ... :)

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Machka9/view/campbell-town-canter-easter-adventure-weekend-200-km-300-km-924682

    At Easter, my husband and I cycled a 300 km randonnee in 17 hours, including all breaks, on Good Friday ... then cycled a 200 km randonnee in 12 hours and 11 min, including all breaks, on Easter Sunday. :)

    500 km on one weekend, in the space of about 60 hours, in the year I turned 50. :grin:

    Love all these achievements, keep them coming whether it's you ran for 1 minute or 1 hour.

    Learned to ride or a bike or cycle 100k.

    4,000 miles ridden in a year
    longest single day event was a metric century (100K)...not sure I care to do more than that.

    Sure you can!

    If you're still on pace to do 4000 miles this year, and if you've done a ride of 75 km in the last month, you could go out and ride another metric century ... then in 2 weeks' time you could do 120 km. :)

    As you build up, the distances you pass get easier. For example, after you've ridden a couple imperial centuries (162 km), those 100 km rides will be just training rides. :grin:

    I've done a lot of things I never thought possible seeing as I couldn't run around the block in 1995:
    1. qualifying for boston on my second marathon back in 1996 and going back for my fourth in 2018
    2. running 100 miles
    3. running 52 marathons in 52 weeks when I turned 52
    4. doing an Ironman at the age of 40 and now at the age of 57 going to do my fourth

    one thing I would love to do is a pull-up....I keep working on it at the gym :)

    That's beast mode! :D

    Okay, this isn't much compared to some (which are amazing, well done people) but it's a biggie for me - I have today completed Week 1 of C25K.

    This is huge for me because I don't run (well, I sort of do now), I've never run, I used to avoid running at school.

    But even better, my 13 yo son is running with me :)

    We can't wait to start Week 2!

    You do run now!

    Great getting your son involved as well :)
