59 km done

Almost 1/3 done

I think I forgot to sign up for April, but I'm in again, I hope I'll manage to do 60 miles this time. I've done 11 up to now: Edit: For a ticker, go to www.lilyslim.com or www.tickerfactory.com, setup your ticker, and then copy the code here.

Interesting! I understand what the problem is and in such extreme cases with very small planes and very obese passengers it does make sense. But there are also other solutions - on top of my head I can immediately think of 2: (i) increase the average estimated weight per passenger to something more realistic, (ii) set a…

I'm in for 150 km again

Final March post for me as well: I was so close! I would have reached my goal if I hadn't got sick on Sunday and stayed in bed all day, but oh well... April is here!

March's over - got past the 50 mile mark but didn't make it for 60... Maybe in April!

Not sure if I can make it but I'll try my best

I was traveling for a week or so and could hardly do anything, so now I'm trying to catch up. There are only 3 days left, but I think I will make it

This week I'm on travel and won't be doing much but up to now I've done 104.9 km total (60.5 walking/jogging + 44.4 biking)

The weirdest for me is probably fish sperm sacs in Japan. They look like brain a bit, but are slippery and squishy and quite weird in texture. I've also had sheep brain, tongue & intestines, pig ears & feet, fried goat testicles, but these are not weird where I come from.

Ahhh, I haven't had Greek yogurt for so long! My favorite ways to eat it are not so healthy and diet-friendly but so so yummy - in a pita stuffed with gyros, french fries and onions - with kebab and lots of paprika and tomato sauce, perhaps some pita as well - with stuffed grape leaves (dolmades) or stuffed…

Feel free to add me as well! I also got a puppy a few months ago, and even though I adore her, it did take me several weeks to adjust!

Δεν θα έλεγα δύσκολη, αλλά διαφορετική. Πολλά πράγματα είναι πολύ διαφορετικά και χρειάζεται χρόνος για να προσαρμοστεί κανείς. Σαν λαός όμως οι Ιαπωνες είναι πολύ εξυπηρετικοί και υπομονετικοί και αυτό βοηθάει πολύ πχ όταν δεν ξέρεις τι πρέπει να κάνεις (που συμβαίνει συχνά). Νομίζω το πιο δύσκολο στην Ιαπωνία είναι το…

Γεια σας παιδιά! Είμαι εδώ και λίγους μήνες σε αυτό το σάιτ και μάλιστα είχα βρει αυτό το ελληνικό γκρουπ κάμποσο καιρό τώρα, αλλά όλο αμελούσα να σας πω μια καλημέρα και να σας συστηθώ. Εϊμαι η Έλλη, στα 35, κάτοικος εξωτερικού εδώ και 5-6 χρόνια τώρα (έφυγα υποτίθεται για λίγο πριν την κρίση, αλλά τώρα πια και να θέλω…

I'm in as well, the challenge went great last month! This time I'll aim for 150km, including biking besides walking/jogging. Here's my new ticker

I reached my goal today! 101.3 km in total for February (and there's still an extra day)! Yay! Congrats to everyone! [the ticker doesn't accept values greater than goal]

I'm in again! The challenge went very well for the past two months, so I'll aim for 60 miles this time! Here's my new ticker

Good advice here - bumping to read later! I have the same problem, my gym has dumbbells only (and a smith machine) and there is no other gym available in a reasonable distance.

Oh wow, I'm a theoretical physicist too! Not a professor yet - I have an independent/senior researcher position at the moment - but working towards it!

Update as of Thursday evening: 81.7km / 50.77 miles done

Just reached 50 miles today, 50.77 miles to be exact! Yay!

Ahh, sorry, I didn't have time to look carefully but thought to post just in case.

Is this it? http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/28/2/105.short (Sorry, I just skimmed through)

I sympathize, I also have a hard time staying on track while travelling. I'm also going to a conference in the US next month, so this time I plan to fill my hotel room fridge with healthy snacks to take with me every day. There are no free buffets / coffee breaks in my conference (it's a big one) so that helps. I have…
