What? Why? How? (sticky)

Hello and welcome,

Thanks for dropping by. I set this site up to track my progress towards the completion of my 2012 challenge. I'm aiming to travel 2,012km in 20.12 (appx) weeks in the gym or on the road. You can sign up yourself (or find out more) at this website.

Early on in the process I realised that the distance I would be covering would get me from Bristol, UK - where I live - to the outskirts of Rome, Italy. So I've been tracking my route along the way following this map.

I hope to raise a bit of money for Habitat for Humanity in the course of this - there's a justgiving page for that purpose. There is no obligation on anyone to donate - for me this is more about the process.

Onwards.

So after a blistering week where I surpassed my previous highest distance, work and preparations for our upcoming road trip gave me the lowest mileage week to date <sad face>

75km has put a bit of a dent in the average, but it's still holding out above 105km/week so we're on target for the 20.12 week target.  I need to make sure I can clock up 20km somehow in the next week while we're on the road.

My developing spreadsheet with distances etc seems to have dropped off in the update.  You can find my distance log here.

Sunday of this week sees us attending the Olympic Stadium in London for what I believe is the first test event there.  From the ticketmaster correspondence we've been getting I don't think it's going to be anywhere near full, unsurprising given that it will just be people like me, completing the 2012 challenge, who will be on display.  Oh, there is a bonus that we have a 'show' with lots of people from tv shows like X Factor singing for us.  Hoping to be long gone by then.

Wifi permitting, we'll post a few pictures and a small commentary when we've been.

I wonder how it will measure up...?
