Walk to the Kitchen - The Gaffer's Challenge - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Have you looked at the Walk to Rivendell challenge lately? Do you find that you would love to be a part of it, but you just don't want to walk that far?
Perhaps some of you can walk Fatty Bolger's route. But what of us who lack the motivation and stamina?
Then this challenge is for you! (And me...) Your goal is to not walk more than .5 (one half) of a mile, and this may only be spent walking back and forth from the kitchen, bathroom and to the front porch for a nap. The rest of the day is to be spent eating and napping. You may use an odometer, but that is not recommended. Instead, measure one of your strides and keep count during the day. (Exercise your head, not your body)
If at all possible, you must ask people to bring you things so you don't have to get up.
The only exercise allowed is exercising your arms, either with a pint or doing the Wave for your favorite Disco King.

(I may say, this is more challenging than you may think. I could never get through a day without someone yelling at me...can you?)
