That between us all, we've run to the moon and back 36 times, and we're 45,044 miles (or about 10 days) from touching down for our 37th trip?

The cyclists will make their tenth lunar landing today.

And to give the swimmers a comparable unit (they're half way on their first trip), they've swum from Lands End to New York and back 18 times.

See what units of measurement you can come up with, and I'll bring back that little box that tells you random ones.

Feel free to offer collective ones, and individual targets :-)

I will now put aside my slight disappointment that this isn't a thread about actually running on the moon. Due to reduced gravity, am I less overweight on the moon?

Possible units:

Tour de Frances
Kings Cross to Olympic Parks
Olympic traffic lanes
Laps of Seb Coe's ego (still less than 1?)

Orbital periods of Halley's Comet?

Fractions of a light year?

THose should give us something to aim for over the next few decades.
