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".

Great job BTB. Definitely a true inspiration!

Just logged 5.05. To date 84.25 miles.

15.75 to the finish!!! I've got this!! I seriously cannot believe it. LOL

Good job Georgia! Victory is in the air.

Up to 70 even... Lazy lazy day! It's raining and I feel snuggly

I think if I push it this week I can make 100.

Walked a mile today, 26 miles total. I don't think I'll make 100 this month but I'm going to keep challenging myself each month until I do!!! If I can get 40 or 50 this month then maybe Oct I'll get 80 and by November I'll get 100!

Doing great!! Your almost there!

Once again I didn't get in a bike ride today but I did get in 2.67 miles walking. That puts me at 85.7 for the month. My goal for the end of the weekend was 90 miles. I will definitely be riding tomorrow if I want to make that.

Great job everyone! We are almost there! Keep up the great work!

You are doing great! Just go at your pace that is comfortable for you. Keep it up and you will get there.

Great job. Yep that's the whole idea. Just to keep challenging yourself to do a little more. Pushing that comfort zone is what releases the best in all of us.

Come on Laura, we will do this together. I have 32 miles to go or about that. We're supposed to have great weather here this week, and I have no deployments scheduled in the evening. I have had my grandchildren from Friday through Sunday and Monday evening. I went out a bought a bike trailer so I could ride and take them along.

You can do it too. I like your new profile picture also.

Tonight sunset was at 7 p.m. so the days are getting shorter. After end of October I will only be able to ride on the weekend since I will be dark by the time I get home from work.

Ok! We got this! 30 miles? Meh that's nothing!

Lol!!

But really I'm going to get my butt out there everyday until its done!

We are looking at a new bike ( Ibis mojo) tomorrow for me, but it will need to be built. So I'm still riding a bigger one..

Laura a new bike for you would be awesome. A month ago you wanted nothing to do with it.... Now look at you.... Investing in your future fitness.
