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 achievement was running 4km without additional asthma medication (puffer) - just my base level of meds.
Slowly building to 5km

These are all pre-pregnancy, my baby is now 8 months old so I'm hoping to get back there.

1. Riding 125KM over 2 days with a fully loaded touring bike.
2. Riding 100KM a week for almost a year
3. Squatting my weight (135lbs)

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.

I won 2nd place in a duathlon in the Athena (heavyweight) division. I've never won anything besides a participation medal for sports!

I completed a sprint triathlon without walking or stopping. I just signed up for another one.

I can consistently run for 40 minutes, three years ago I could only run for 5 minutes.

Running over 10 miles!

Strength:

Probably managing to out-muscle (and think) my *&#$^* horse at a big-deal horse show when I was a teen. Weight trained for months to build up my core and back so he couldn't yank me out of the saddle and over his head, or turn and run for the center of the arena like he was used to doing to everyone that rode him. Couldn't stop him from cow-kicking at the judges walking the line-up, but we placed well anyway. It was worth it. Got his *kitten* sold on the strength of that ride and I was so happy to see him leave for his new home

Endurance:

15 mi run. Boring on the face, but I really enjoy long runs. Should better that when I get back to marathon training.

5x5 deadlift at 265 lbs, benching 150 pounds, and running for 2 miles without stopping! the run was the hardest part! I can't wait until I can do pull ups!

Haha... I read "I put 400lbs on the incline bench press machine" and was going to ask if you bench pressed it after that nice effort!

Getting rid of my bony thin arms! My friends would always call me stick thin and I got sick of it, so I started free weights for arm routines. Started at 5 lbs for bicep curls. Now i'm at 15 lbs! I've gained 8 lbs of muscle in my legs and arms to date.

That is awesome! I went from 335 to 187 and ran 9.33 miles the other day. My farthest yet. Had average of 9:29 per mile. Slow but I am trying to get to 8min miles like you for that distance. I run on hilly terrain. How long (conditioning) did it take you to do that distance at that pace?

My best yet is 5.3 miles at 8:24 per mile. Kickass man, really impressed!

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.

I once squatted 550 lbs and dead-lifted 650 lbs in a competition while weighing 190. I won't mention my bench press because it was kind of embarrassingly low.

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.
