30-day Fitness Challenge: Are You Game?

UPDATE: The Fitness Challenge has ended, but keep up the great work!

I stumbled across a 30-day fitness challenge by Evernote Fitness Ambassador, Chad Williams.  I'm taking the challenge and challenging you as well.  You can read the full blog post on the 30-day fitness challenge, but first read on.

The challenge is fully customizable.  You pick any combination of the four challenges:

• 100 sit ups per day.
• 100 stairs per day.
• Water only to drink
• No sugar

Again, the challenge is fully customizable, so you can adjust the numbers to make it your own challenge.  This is intended to get you off your butt and to take action toward a healthy lifestyle, not dread each day.  Make it fun.

I have chosen to do the 100 sit ups and water-only challenges. I'm making one exception.  I drink a glass of OJ every morning.  Also, I'm adding my own extra challenge of 100 push ups each day for myself.

Here is what I'm asking of you:

1. Commit to one or more of the challenges for 30 days, even if you're starting late! Let me know your plans in the comments below.
2. Follow @whoschadwick on twitter to keep up with my progress and hold me accountable if I start slacking.
3. Keep me informed on your progress. Let me know how you're doing along the way by either commenting below or @mentioning me in some of your progress posts on twitter or facebook.
4. Share this with everyone you know and challenge them as well. This is important for accountability.
5. Finally, don't forget to check out the full challenge on Evernote and be sure to participate in the twitter party on March 15.  I'll be there.

Since I'm posting on the day of the challenge, I'll wait until March 22 (or a few days after) to decide on a winner.

Art In The Air: Boeing 787 Flight Path

I'm always thrilled to see new ways of how people are expressing their creativity. At the time of writing this, Boeing is in the final stretch of a unique test flight that includes drawing out 787 and Boeing's logo over the United States.

While this isn't  the first time that Boeing has created this type of virtual art in the skies, but it is history in the making.

The Boeing 787 has set two world records in recent months by flying a record distance of 10,337 nautical miles and then clocking in at 42 hours and 27 minutes for eastbound speed around the world.

If you're interested in more information on the Boeing 787, check out their 787 Dreamliner page.

Update: The flight landed at 08:45 PST with a duration of 19 hours and 12 minutes, max altitude of 43,000 feet, and max groundspeed of 696 mph according to FlightAware.com 's flight track log.
