Howdy fitness freaks. Today marks the 30 day countdown till my long awaited TT surgery. Damn I'm excited. To Celebrate, I'm going to spend the next 30 days doing something I've never done before.....I'm going to run 100 miles in the next 30 days. Certainly other people have done it...even people on this forum have done it. But it will be my biggest monthly total to date. I never ran a step voluntarily until last year. Since then, my life and body have changed so much.....I can't imagine not having this great gift I've found. To me running is like a newly found super power....one that I never thought I'd have.

So I'm going to run 100 miles total between now and my surgery date of 9/30. If anyone wants to join me...walk, run, hike, bike .........whatever you can do.

BTW Laura-Ven has agreed to do the 100 miles with me.....so I'd appreciate y'all's help in making sure she does it. She needs your "motivation".

I got some New Balance Minimus today. Can't wait for tonights walk! I can't wear those finger shoes...hell they freak me out just looking at them...lol

Um... Endorsement deals??

Bean is gonna start showing pictures of himself running while wearing sponsor T-shirts and drinking their products and eating their protein bars...lol

I've been wanting a pair of those. I've got the merrell road gloves which are almost the same exact shoe. Good choice on the NB.

And I can't see any excess skin either!!!

You should see me on those nekkid trail runs. It's cringe worthy.

That video has got to be the funniest thing I've see in a while

7 miles today gives me a total of 60 after 12 days. I did start 2 days early I believe.

Ran in my new running shoes today. These are even more minimal than the vibrams. These are Zem Gear Terra Ninjas. And yes' date=' that is a size 14 shoe rolled up in my hand. These are not for tenderfeet.

You could save some money and just run barefoot. Lol.

Hilarious!

I am going to get me a pair of reebok cross fit nano shoes the next time my shoe budget materializes. If it materializes... Note: wife can have 100 pair of shoes, but it is like pulling teeth to go buy a pair for me.

Oh and +4 miles today for 76. 9th day of running. As alluded to at the beginning of this thread, I found it hard to sustain 10 miles of running a day and an hour of cross fit. I will try for 5 miles a day outside of daily cross fit (which killed me today in a HIIT way. ). In the strength portion I did PR +40 lb @ 390 today for 3-2-1 back squat sets. I grunted like a beast getting out of the deep squat @ max.

3.85 miles today. That puts me at 25 miles so. I love my Fitbit Flex. Tomorrow I go back to riding in the morning as well. It is time to push it!

I walked all over town, took 22 flights of stairs and still that tyrant of a fitbit said I didn't reach my goals. Hmph! So I got the rebounder out and pwned that fitbit lol.

Btb, I haven't tried running in the Merrell gloves at all, but I love them for my (very fast) walk to the gym and for doing my workout. My husband has several pair of five fingers and wears them for lots of things, tho he's also not a frequent runner. He loves them. I already ordered a new pair of merrells to get in the US. :-)

Only 4 miles today for me...I think that makes my total 62 miles.
