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".

Oh I'll definitely be looking in and encouraging everyone. I never thought so many people would jump in. I thought it would just be me and Laura.....and only because I shamed her into it.

Oh btw....just got this from last Saturdays 10K.

Looking good buddy! I know you are happy and proud of what you have accomplished. We will have to make sure to keep Laura active.

Alright the human slug is checking in...

I spent my morning exercising!

Knocked out 5 on the bike and 5 on the treadmill!

Total 78

Human slug? Does that mean I can call you sluggo?...lol...jk

Ok, that pushed me over the edge; I've been lurking and thinking "I'm not up to this yet" but if you did it 5 weeks post op, I can't really come up with a valid excuse at 4 months!!

I'll be joining the October challenge (Yikes!!)

Come on in and join us! The more the better! It is very motivating!

Well, I walked 3.69 miles. I am taking a break from the bike tonight but might try some light free weights for the first time since surgery. This puts my total at 104.7 for the month!

Rode my bike for over an hour today. A lot of up hill riding. I did not calculate the mileage. Can any of you give me an estimated guess as to how many miles that might be????

Okay' date=' *just* added up everything and I did it!!!! Today's total is: (drumroll) 104.87 miles Woo hoo! They are mostly from spin class but some are from running and some are from walking (oh and I did add in some from just an exercise bike when I was waiting for my fusion class to start, I killed 10 mins on the exercise bike right outside the door, figured I could stand around and "chat" or I could move my legs. ) Definitely a good feeling of accomplishment. I'm going to still keep track and see where I end up by the end of Sept. Thanks all for the support and thanks Butter for getting us started and keeping us encouraged.[/quote']congrats!

Today 4.51 miles, mostly just walking through airports... Back at home, back to gym tomorrow! Total 106.19

I went ahead and hopped in my car and drove the route I took while riding. It was a little over 12 miles, so I'm going with 12. That puts me at 81 miles.
