100 mile challenge

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".

Wait.....riding in the Porsche with the top down and too much eyeliner....trying to pick up single dads at the student drop off ....does not count.

Ooooh.. That sounds good!

I'll do that tomorrow! :P

Down 1.17. Only have ONE POINT 2 to 100!!!! Dun da da duh!!! :)

Update. Another .6 added. .6 left!!!!!!!

I walked 5.70 miles today including a great 39 minute 2.06 mile walk around the neighborhood. That is a 19.02 minute average which for some may be slow, but for me, I am very happy with it. That puts my total this month at 117.2! I still can't believe I have done this.

So I don't run, but I was cleared to ride my bike this week. Today I rode for a total of 24 miles!

Keep going. You're too close.

Done! ( for now!

Added 2.42 to my already 97.63

Drum roll, please! 100.05.

The "former fat lady" has sung!!!! ( as is "it ain't over til the FL sings!).

And I actually finished 4 days early. Now it's all gravy. (Wow! That sounds really good. Gravy! ) LOL

okay, I'm going to finish strong like all of you!

You are a freakin machine! I forever stand in your shadow!!! That is utterly amazing. Seriously.

Okay fitness buddies...got in my extra 5 miles last night, another 5 this morning...only 4 miles left!!!! I was out for almost 2 weeks due to being so ill, so I'm definitely going to up my game for October.

I'm at 93 miles. Should meet the challenge! This has been great, and I can't weight for next month's challenge!

Wow you guys are all doing so well. I'm so pleased at how this thing has grown and I hope next month is even better. I hope you all stay in it and try to top this month in October. It just goes to show you....goal setting really works. And not just vague "I'm gonna get in shape" goals. But specific, measurable goals that you can reach for....it's helped me and I'm inspired by all of you for reaching for this goal.

Keep it up.

It's like you're talking to me! I was just thinking last night how I'm going to take it easy next month...but, why??? Why am I trying to sabotage myself? So, here I am committing to the next challenge. And, I will definitely do more than 100 miles next month!
