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".

So' date=' I cut out of work early (my boss is awesome, and yes, i am self employed) and I went to the gym. I did 10 miles on the bike, 2 miles walking and I hit 100 miles. Next month I promise to join in more than three days before the end of the month and be my over achieving self. I will even do some of BTB's miles for him.[/quote']

OMG! You did 109 within the last four days? I am shamed. LOL

Oh gawd no! I took all the miles my fitbit logged for the month and added them. I had a weekend of 5ks and junk so I logged in 23 miles Friday-Sunday. Last 12 today just to make it happen. Next month I will do it over the month.

I barely made it!!! I had great plans to get a lot of miles in this past weekend but so many things got in the way! I only manage to get in 4 miles over the weekend. That meant that today I had to get in over 9 miles...I walked 3 miles and rode my bike for about 6.8 miles. My grand total is: 100.09 miles. I will definitely be doing the October challenge and I'm going to give myself a minimum of 125 miles in 30 days. Thank you all for inspiration!

Finished out 5 miles for September at 118. Not shabby.

That's amazing.

Closing out September with 116 miles. I did 5 running in the morning, 5 on my elliptical this evening. I'll head over to October's thread in the A. M.

Thanks again everyone for the motivation and inspiration.

Aww, come on!'! Don't leave me hanging! Get up and do another .5!!!!!

Hey there everyone. Today has been a great day. My wife's surgery went great and the surgeon was extremely happy afterwards. I have spent the entire day at the hospital, lots of waiting and walking around between the waiting room, cafeteria, the car, her room, etc. I was able to get a total of 3.06 miles in today which puts my final total for the month of September at 126.9! I still can't believe I was able to do this so soon. Thank you everyone for the motivation! Great job and I can't wait to see everyone's progression next month!
