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".

Didn't make goal this month but def def def moved more this month than I ever have. Logged over 45 miles for month... So not disappointed. New challenge starts tomorrow!

Congrats to everyone!!

Aww' date=' come on!'! Don't leave me hanging! Get up and do another .5!!!!! [/quote']

ok Georgia...just for you I went for another spin around the block at 11 pm in my Jammie's! This makes my total for this challenge an even 200 miles.

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!

Yay! Glad to hear your wife is doing well

Ok people I made it to 101 (put that extra one in just so I don't look like that big of a slug )

See you guys on the October thread

well last day of the month, 6.71 miles today total 135.31! What a wonderful experience!

How long after surgery can you start running. My dr said, walking, walking in treadmill, elliptical or stationary bike only at this time

I started about 4 months post op. But surely could have started sooner but was afraid to because I was still so heavy. Now I wish I had started sooner.

That's hilarious. Super proud of you flaca for making it and finding your inner fitness freak.

I'm glad you're not disappointed. I've said all along the goal IS to push yourself and move more. You did that. Proud of you.

I am reporting late but made it, barely, 100.2 miles. I like to live on the edge. ha ha. I was worried that I wouldn't make my 100 as the end of the month came closer.

See you in the October thread.

Butter, glad to hear you are doing well. Good job everyone. This thread was very motivating for me.

I was 6 weeks post op yesterday and I started this past weekend doing some short running segments in my walking. I started a light jog for about 50 yards at a time. Damn I run hard footed. I felt like Bigfoot running thru the forest hiding from the cameras. I will continue to increase my distance a few more yards at a time. I was going to start the Couch to 5K program this week, but with my wife having her sleeve surgery yesterday, I have decided to push that back to start next week. I cleared starting that program with my Dr. first.
