Our journey began with a handshake in Mr Ahmet's Olympic Kebab house after a few too many pints in the Prince of Wales.
The idea is simple. There are 26 Olympic disciplines (each of the 300 events falls into one of the 26 categories) and we will compete against each other in every one of the 26 in time for the opening ceremony of the London Games on July 27, 2012.
Along the way we will meet with different mentors, some of them Olympic champions, some Olympic hopefuls. This will doubtless be more exciting for us than it will be for them as we are an unlikely pair to be taking on such a challenge.
It's about time we swapped our onion rings for the Olympic rings.
