Hello everyone,

My hubby challenged me to a little challenge for the upcoming month and of course I accepted but threw a similar challenge right back at him.

He challenged me to bike at least 6 times a week on at least 5 days (so one double allowed) for at least 10km each time.

I challenged him to run at least 4 times a week for at least 30km each week.

We thought long and hard about a "punishment" for the looser and came up with the following:

"The looser has to fill and empty the dishwasher for 2 whole weeks" 

That sure is a big punishment for either of us so I believe that both of us will try hard to make this challenge

We decided to put this up here in case others want to join us

The challenge will start tomorrow December 29th and will end on February 1st. That is exactly 5 weeks.

Let the fun begin

That's funny!

I took one of my kids swimming with me today. Getting either child to do something is a challenge in itself, bu train or you have dish duty could be funny! (hmmm, dish duty isn't as painful as litter box duty)

yep!  we'll be waiting to hear what the reward is - maybe hiring someone to do the dishes?

Well technically I won´t make the challenge, as I will be without a bike for the next 11 days (going on vacation) but my very nice hubby granted me an extension and I can add the 2 weeks after I come back.

 So the challenge won't end for me until Feb 15th.

I have finished the challenge with an 18k snow run yesterday   So I can NOT lose this challenge. Joblin is 2 weeks behind but still in it. She just had her biggest bike week ever with 155km.
