Isn't it GRAND!
Miles logged on exercise bike: 29.5
Total miles logged: 1,000 BABY!!!!
So tonight was a monumental night! I crossed the 1,000 miles biked mark!!
Whoa!
I know when I originally signed up for this I was supposed to go about 1,800...stupid surgery...but still...I am totally content with the 1,000 I have done!
That is nuts!
So to give some perspective on exactly how far that is, I've taken a clue from my super awesome future sister-in-law, Joy, who sent me an email after my update about the 950 miles I had already done. She basically let me know exactly how far that is. So here are some of the things she said as well as a few additional ones.
What 1000 miles is
1,000 miles is the distance between Lincoln, NE to Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania
1,000 miles is the distance between Abbotsford, British Columbia (Wash/Canada border) to Grenada, California
1,000 miles is the distance between Miami, Florida to Fredricksburg, Virginia
1,000 miles is the distance between Vancouver, British Columbia and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (which is arguably the coolest/dorkiest name for a place ever!!)
Or internationally speaking:
1,000 miles is the distance between Madrid, Spain and Milan, Italy
1,000 miles is the distance between Messina Italy (the very tip of the peninsula) to Munich, Germany.
It is, however a few miles shy of making the "long journey from Milan to Minsk" (if you sang "Rochelle, Rochelle" after that you are AWESOME. if not, you should go watch Seinfeld right now!)
Anyway it's a LONG, long distance! Pretty exciting stuff!
I hear there I get a goodie back along with my jersey. I am excited about this! I might have to track said goodie back down tomorrow afternoon! Oh the excitement!
ONE WEEK TIL TAKEOFF!!
