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".

Okay, clicked off another 5 miles! Pretty proud of my non-exercising self! LOL

TOTAL 58.1

Happy Monday to all!

Not bad at all for a non-exerciser.

Walked/hiked today in a state park. Beautiful weather! Logged 7.5 miles so that makes my total 97 miles.

You are amazing! Go, girl!

Rode 10 minutes this morning for another 2.5 miles. Total now stands at 54.1 miles. I am still fighting this stall. It is getting frustrating but not stopping me.

I haven't checked in but I have kept busy! I went on a great hike yesterday. It was only 2 miles but it was 2 miles up a very steep mountain. It took forever to get up the mountain...coming down was a breeze! Prior days I did my usual biking and walking. My total milage is now at: 46.34

Took my cardiac stress test on the treadmill today and had no pain. So hopefully in the morning I can start adding miles again.

I'm back! After getting really sick and hospitalized with pneumonia, I was unable to exercise. However, I ran 5 miles this morning and I'm about to hit my elliptical for another 5 miles. That will put me at 30 miles. I know I'm behind, but I plan to catch up by the end of the week!

Glad you are feeling better. Take your time getting back into things.

Ok...I already logged my ride this morning but today I walked a total of 2.85 miles and I just rode another 4.04 miles to make todays overall total including this morning to 9.39 miles and my overall total to 61 miles even. I pushed it pretty good today and I feel the burn in my legs but it feels great. I haven't felt that in years.

Today I worked my two jobs for the first time so it was a wash as far as getting any exercise other than all the crazed running around like a headless chicken! Too bad I didn't use the Map my ride app and track it. Back at it tomorrow!

Wow girl. Don't go crazy. That pneumonia is no joke. Glad you're back on your feet. There's plenty of time left. I'm going to hit the pavement at 530 in the morning for the first time since Friday. I cannot wait.

4.93 logged today. Makes my total 63.03 miles! Yippee!

Glad you're able to get back to it, Bean

Felt really lazy all day, but I made myself go out and walk this evening and logged 4.5 miles. Whew! Total is now 101.5 miles!
