Gary B Oops! new total should be 31,047.1 miles
Bought myself a road bike during my mid-life crisis and cycle mainly at weekends. I ran a couple of marathons a long, long time ago and last year took up running again after an 8 year layoff. The running has been tough but now starting to make progress, running my first 10K event in 24 years in September 2012. Not a big fan of indoor training - I prefer fresh air on my face if possible.

Gary B Forgive me, it's been 7 1/2 months since my last posting and I have not participated in any sports activities since October. Normal winter squash didn't happen as my playing partner had an injury and then his wife said we were too old!!!!
Anyhow, I have given myself a good talking to and have been making progress this week.
Gary B achieved the Silver One to Watch medal

I have just completed this one Gary ... and realised that it wasn't just as straightforward as I thought! Check out the guide that I posted and see if you still think you have completed :-)
Hi Karen I checked this out and your challenges 'taken' are on a different basis to mine. My 'taken' figure is inclusive of completed challenges whereas yours is for uncompleted challenges. If mine were quoted on the same basis as yours it would read Start 258 completed / 86 taken and Finish 293 complete 67 taken. Still 19 to the good and OK for completing the challenge!

Perfect ... you know this almost pickled my brain earlier? !! Thank you :)
