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".

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.

I KNOWS you can! Look at that warrior face in your profile. Get out of my way face!!! And super skinny too!

Walked a mile today' date=' 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![/quote']

Awesome! Great determination!!!

Ugh mother in laws birthday today... The only running today will be her mouth criticizing me!

Hahahaha !

I got in a 1.2 mile walk today with the wife and then I just finished a 2.51 mile recumbent bike ride. That puts my total at 93.4 miles. I made my goal of 90 miles by Sunday night. I am going to try and break 100 miles by tomorrow night. Great job this weekend everyone. Keep it up.

Walked 7 miles today enjoying the sites at Antietem Battlefield. Sad, interesting, extremely well kept. Makes my total 145.8 miles walked.

I do not have a day *without* tight hammys. working on loosening them with supple leopard mobility training. I think I spend 30+ minutes a day just working on mobility in order to improve lifting skill and also just to be safe. Tightness leads to injury.

Great job. Can you believe it? And there is still a week left. You're gonna crush the 100 mile mark and then some. Way to go.

I know you do a lot of work from a computer right? Have you ever considered a stand up desk? Sitting for such long periods is awful for our hamstrings.

Yes, I have consider it and have done a ton of research on the standing desks. Would love to have one, but costs are too high.

Only got in 1.5 yesterday. Very lazy and sleepy Sunday. 85.75 total.

I promise I will do better today! ????
