Didn't do much today, however, apart from facilitating messing about in boats. As there was quite a blustery wind this got quite energetic at times, and included lying full length on a jetty grappling with unwilling bits of string wondering at which point I was going to topple into the water. Spent 3 or 4 hours doing this (no I didn't get wet) but only about 30 minutes was sufficiently energetic to count. So, today 30 minutes, and running and final total is 51 hours and 15 minutes.

Looking at your final list, I am strangely surprised just how much difference an extra few minutes each day makes over the course of a month. I know that should be obvious, but this has really highlighted for me the benefits of those little bits of exercise - like getting off the bus one stop early - which I might not naturally bother with.

Great fun, and thanks CKilled. Lovely 30 min walk in the dark in the snow (but warm) this evening to see a friend then half hour back. Saw a bunch of (in fact seven) students building a giant snowman at 11pm in the local park! It was about 8ft high and still being built. Looked a bit like the Venus of Willendorf! 10mins on the exercise bike (minimum resistance) before bed now. So this thread has done good, made me think that small amounts of exercise each day are normal, easy and way better in terms of getting and staying fit than going to the gym once or twice a week. -------------------- We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time T.

I was hoping it could be left open for a few days to allow for people who couldn't get to a computer over the weekend to post any additional times, as Surfing Madness has. When we set this up both last year and this it was intended as a fun and competitive way of boosting our exercise levels and encouraging us to get up and going, not a permanent prop. The revised listing, with Surfing Madness's final times are: PaulM 51h 42m average of 100m/day or 1h 40m blackbeard 51h 15m average of 99 minutes exercising per day or 1h 39 mins; compared with 41h35m in Jan08 and 30h 50m in Jul 08; Freelance Monotheist 46h 15m 90m/day compared with 52h0m in Nov07, 53h0m in Jan08, 47h30m in Jul08; Susan Doris 45h 55m average of 89 min/day; compared to 54h 25m in Jul08; Curiosity Killed ... 42h 81m/day compared with 49h40m in Nov07, 36h30m in Jan08 and 29h 0m in Jul08; the famous rachel 40h 52m average of 79m/day; Yangtze 40h 20m 78 min/day; compared with 42h 25m in Nov07, 27h55m in Jan08 and 28h25m in Jul08; Wiff Waff 36h 35m average of 71 minutes per day Stevie Boy Wonder 35h 40m average of 69 minutes per day; Ultracrepidarian 34h 45m average of 67m/day; compared with 46h45m in Jan08 and 57h20m in Jul08; Auntie Doris 34h 40m, av 67min a day, compared with 16h 35m in Nov07, 20h40m in Jan08, 25h 20m in Jul08; Celtic Knotweed 32h 45m av 63m/day, compared with 23h 42m in Nov07 and 42h 0m in Jul08; Sandemaniac 31h 50m 62m/day, compared with 62h 10m in Jul08; Smudgie 29h 45m average 58 min/day, compared with 16h05m in Jan08, 5h30m in Jul08; lily pad 29h 25m 57m/day To The Pain 29h 2m average 56m/day compared with 27h35m in Nov07 and 32h40m in Jul08 Joan of Quark 25h 11m av 49 mins Chorister 25h 10m av 49m, compared with 10h45m in Nov07, 14h in Jan08; Cottontail 20h 25m 40 min/day; Scots lass 19h 50m 38 min/day Autenrieth Road 17h 50m, av 35min/day, compared with 30h10m in Jan08, 4h 05m in Jul08; pimple 17h 40m av of 34 mins/day Surfing Madness 17h 20m average of 34 mins/day NorthEast Quine 14h 40m av of 28mins/day; Meg the Red 11h 25m compared with 24h30m in Jan08, but Meg stopped posting part way through. philip99a 7h 50m Geneviève 5h 9m Angus McDangley 5h compared with 2h40m in Jan08, 8h40m in Jul08; chickle girl 5h Sir Kevin 4h 45m compared with 5h30m in Jan08 and 6h35m in Jul08; daisydaisy 4h 30m comet 3h 25m compared with 34h10m in Jan08 and 58h45m in Jul08; Nunzia 50m Bacchus - nothing posted Boogie - nothing posted Huia - nothing posted rosamundi - nothing posted Spike - nothing posted the pilgrim - not posted That's a total of 820h 26m posted, averaging out at 26h 27m per day between the 42 shipmates who signed up at the beginning - actually only 33 were active. I would agree with Yangtze, that it's very impressive how many people are improving their times, and getting regular exercise with this boost. I got back into regular yoga with the accountability, which was good - now watch me drift again! There is a fitness thread in All Saints for people who want longer term support for exericising -------------------- Mugs - Keep the Ship afloat Posts: 13794 | From: outiside the outer ring road | Registered: Aug 2006  |  IP: Logged To The Pain Shipmate # 12235 Posted                     Thanks CK, you're a star! Sir Kevin, I think it was agreed with the hosts after the first or second race that twice a year was quite enough for this kind of thread - so I think you'll have to wait for July to impress us all with your cycling times! Personally I'm pretty chuffed to be in the top half of the table. Getting a few more minutes out of my dancing nights would be nice but I've been trying to take the load off the other class teachers while we've been in exam time. Coming in between my scores for the other two races means I'm not being lazy, at least! July could be interesting for me this year as I'll be spending the last week in the Netherlands performing at a folk festival - could be all kinds of crazy dancing going on. -------------------- Now occasionally blogging.

But unfortunately, the January race has come to an end. As CK says, further posts may be made on the thread in All Saints. Watch out for a further race in the summer when the weather - for some of us at least - should be more clement. Thanks to CK for all your hard work in organising this season's race. -------------------- Retired, sitting back and watching others for a change.
