December 60 Mile Walk Challenge



Recommended Posts

I went ahead and started a thread for December so we can get going! I like checking in here, posting and keeping myself accountable, as well as reading how everyone else is doing with their exercise challenge.

Good luck everyone! I know it's going to be a real challenge to exercise every day, with so many things to do before Christmas.

Logging my shopping and cleaning steps may be the only way I hit my goal this month! I literally ran out of my slippers twice yesterday, running around the house trying to get things done. I don't log that stuff but I might have to.

Hey! I've been adding my miles up, but haven't responded here. I started training for a marathon, so this will be the first month I actually reach my goal of 60. Looks like I will even be way beyond it!

Jessica, that's awesome! When is the marathon?

I am doing a 50-mile hike with my son over a weekend in March (for Boy Scouts). Starting in January I want to start building up my endurance. I think I will start walking outside, because I could die of boredom if I try to do more than 6 or 7 miles on the treadmill. We have a park track that is about 1 mile long, so going around that 7 times seems way more interesting. Good thing I live in Texas where it doesn't get TOO cold. I just hope I'm still saying that in January!

I hadn't walked in a week until I finally did 4 miles today. My knees were starting to hurt from disuse.

How's everyone else doing?

The marathon is May 6, 6 days after my 30th birthday! I did my first half marathon on my 24th birthday. I am in much better shape already, so I'm excited to see how I do as I continue to train.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
