Going Nowhere title graphic
2009 Edition. Pick yerself up, dust yerself off, and keep on moving.

Going Nowhere is all about those imaginary treks we take on the road to fitness.

Many of us hop on contraptions such as rowing machines, stationary bicycles, treadmills, stepping machines or elliptical machines that tell us we've traveled considerable distances even though technically we haven't budged an inch.

This is a place to record those treks and encourage each other on what can sometimes be a frustrating experience.


nowhere manMarn didn't make her 500 miles last year. Wow. That sound's familiar.

This year's goal is to make 500 miles. As of Jan. 24: 20.35 miles.

nowhere manRosemary Critchley is not quite so old as dirt and whimsical enough to take on a journey to nowhere. She plans to do this on a cross-trainer, running machine ... and to compete with daughter on rower.

She'll also be shouted at by personal trainer. Miles to Nowhere: 15.25


nowhere manTheFelineOnesays that if she doesn't do this, she'll never live through another years ninjutsu. It'll be accomplished via rowing and the treadmill, so wish her more luck than a luckdragon.

Distance to date: 11.50 miles.
