You should get some kind of 2 for 1, at least compared to those of us in the Seattle area.

I wish I could. We got loads of snow in November but it's been gone since Christmas, sure we'll get some again and then I will be out there as usual. .

I use it every day to log food and exercise it is a great tool for keeping an eye on nutrition and cals consumption and keeps you in control to an extent.

Lee H logged 17.54 km of Running in 2:05:05 on 7 Apr 2012
Absolutely shattered! Never walked before during a run but had no choice today, twice I had to stop!
This challenge is draining me, I'm running on empty.
Hit the wall at 6.5 mile, shed 15,000 calories in 3 days and haven't ate enough!
I have failed in the nutrition part!

20120827083756-lyf88940

Best of luck! Lets us know how you get on

I've never been able to do a true handstand so the only way I was going to attempt it was against a wall. Thanks for the feedback and the encouragement!

I needed to break the back of the cycling to concentrate on my worst discipline, swimming! However, I think this ride broke my back instead :/
Anyway that 2850 calories I have to eat so far today :P

Hi Tina, welcome! This is a great site. :)

This challenges is driving me nuts. It said I completed it when I didn't, it never went to my achievements page, it stayed on my challenge page, so I can only quit or retake it. When I retake it, it still won't let me complete it!

Jed D Ironman triathlon in 5 days Challenge

Contributorsilver Jed D Day 3 and I have been very unorganised leading me to not eat the right stuff, ended up eating lots of sugary stuff when feeling sluggish or hungry. This was detrimental to both my training and my concentration at work. So lesson learnt and going to sort my meals the evening before
