Subject: How Far have you gone this year?

Wow, I have biked from my house in Keller, TX to my brothers in Valley Springs, CA making stops in Phoenix and Las Vegas!

Ran from my house to San Antonio

and swam to visit Laurie, Derek, Andy and Shannon in McKinney!

By the end of the year I hope to ride coast to coast, run across the state of Texas and swim to Austin!

Fun! I'll play....

I've biked from my house near Austin, TX to San Diego, CA...
I've run to Beaumont, TX (why I would, I have no idea)...
And I've swam to Killeen, TX!


It's pretty fun to see it all laid out like that...

I'm not sure how to take all this. I've made it from San Francisco to Midland Texas, but honestly, who would bike to Midland? In the summer....

I always love this game.

I swam from Tampa to Clearwater to see Betsy and 22Legs.

I biked from Tampa to Denver to visit Regimom.

I ran from Tampa to (fittingly) Marathon.

Figured it out, here is what I have to do to meet my 2007 goals:

Ride coast to coast - San Francisco to NY via Keller, TX = 3286 miles.  1360 to go

Run across Texas - El Paso to the East border = 795 miles.  494 to go (yikes)

Swim to Austin = 364, 320 yards.  259759 to go.  May have to reevlauate that.  I hear Waco is nice

I remember seeing a thread like this last year and looking forward to playing, so here we go:

I rode my bike from Killeen to Tampa to visit Socks and then up to Washington D.C. to see rollinsw and Comet

I did a TX BT visit with my run by going through Ft. Worth to see JeepFleeb, to Keller to see Dodgersmom and Doughboy, through Lewisville/Frisco to see Gaarryy and AimeeP, then to Longview to see bonbeebe, tri-ritter, and the boltons, then to The Woodlands to see erin116, and ending the Texas City/SE Houston area to see Nette and Smilford

For swimming, I just decided to go due south through TX Tri-Mecca of Austin and ended up in Kyle after visiting rjbostick and all the Austin/Round Rock/Cedar Park folks

I just went to Google maps, took a guess at the distance and had it map it.  Then you can drag the line to extend it.  I put in Keller to Valley Springs, CA and then dragged the route to go through Phoenix and then Vegas until I got the right distance.  You should be able to right click on the map and save it to your desktop and the upload to your BT album

KathyG - 2008-07-29 2:38 PM Pretty cool everyone..how do you figure that out easy like...for those of us not so great at computer stuff?

I just went to google maps and threw in some destinations to get me to the mileage..then press control and the print screen button (usually top right of keyboard).  Go to paint, click paste, it'll put a picture that looks just like you screen did when it was on the map.  Use the crop tool and cut out just the map, open a new paint document, paste it, save it, upload it to an album here and copy the properties into the picture URL for posting a reply.  Hope that made sense!

Starting at my house, I am currently in Davenport Iowa. (1,800 Miles) What is in Davenport Iowa you ask? I do not have a clue as I have never been there. But it is on the road to Boston both figuratively and literally and I will make it to Boston by the time this Journey is Over

For the Bike, I have gone from my house to a little town named Sydney in Nova Scotia (3,800 Miles). Why Nova Scotia? I always wanted to go to Newfoundland and the ferry leaves from Sydney

For the Swim, I am only as far as Two Harbors on Catalina Island (130,000 Yards or about 74 miles) . I hope to make it up as far as Santa Cruz Island but it's not looking good this year. Maybe next year.

I'm 2/3 of the way to the Arctic with running, biking and swimming added together. Boy it'll be cold up there by the time I get there this winter.
