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".

Not sure what I am going to do today as far as miles go. I have spent most of the the day being physically overly tired' date=' sleepy. Still waiting to wake up and it is 1:30 pm already. Oh and lots of sneezing and sniffling this morning. My body woke up at 4:30am this morning where I really needed to sleep at least another hour for recovery purposes (got 6 hours sleep). Need to get jazzed up soon for doing something in terms of working out around 4 pm rather than drooling on my keyboard fighting sleep (work suffered today). And yes I tried caffeine already this morning.[/quote']

I wish I could sympathize but I don't have to go back to work till December 1st.

OMG! You guys work???

Bummer

Sorry you're not feeling well fiddle

+1 mile. No met-con Wod (rest day). Worked on dead lifts (#295) in addition to skill training: power cleans and muscle ups.

I did laundry today and went up and down the stairs in my house, does that count??

Ouch! Who just slapped me upside the head?!?

BUTTER!

Not sure exactly what's wrong but I hope you get to feeling better soon.

No bike ride today, just a 2.56 walk. That puts me at 83 miles even. 17 miles to go. My weekend goal is 90 miles by Sunday night. I got this.

4.05 miles today. 79.25 total.

I know exactly what is wrong. overtraining. Doing 4 days of intense cross fit workouts in a row is taxing, especially yesterday when I ran 3miles in about 17 min ( each mile we were instructed to run far beyond comfort). I feel much better this afternoon, but was showing to classic signs of overtraining this morning (lethargic, weakened immunity, bad sleep pattern last night, decreased desire to eat). Just need to be careful about it no matter how driven I get. Gotta get it in my mind 3 days on and 1 day off.

3.66 miles today; total of 73.79 miles.
