October 100 Mile Challange!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everybody: happy October challenge! I did bupkis yesterday but rode my bike 15.7 miles today. Butter - so glad your surgery went well and Ted- also so glad that your wife's surgery also went well.

Hello Everyone! My name is Lynette. I am from NJ. I am preop. Surgery date November 19th. As I sit here at an outpatient lab, I start reading this thread and everyone's response. I feel the excitement running through the thread. I dream of the day where I walk for exercise. I haven't exercised in decades. What is the best way to start? I AM so proud of all who can exercise for so many miles!! Good luck to you all. You are my role models.

How do you feel about walking? Can you do it comfortably? If so start planning a daily walk...or 2. I have days where I don't have time for a long workout but I can squeeze in 2 shorter ones. Gradually build the distance each day or week. Don't do too much the first week, just ease into it slowly if you haven't worked out in decades. Good luck.

Just log your miles as often as you like. Everyday is fine if you want.

Hi Lynette: welcome to our crazy little tribe! I would add to Patrick's suggestions that if you haven't already had you pre-surgery cardiology work-up that you get that done before embarking on an exercise plan that involves anything you would find strenuous, even if it is just walking. Also start very gently. When I first started using an elliptical machine I could only handle about 5 minutes. Now I can go about 45 minutes but it took a long time to get there. Patience is important in the beginning. If you have joint pain then pool exercise might be a good way to start. Walking laps in a pool is a good but gentle workout. Whatever you choose to do it's all good!

Happy hump day everyone! Hope everyone had a great day. Been busy today with the wife. She was discharged today and is now home and resting comfortably. Soooo....I have been repaying my debt to her. You see, I have had 9 surgeries since we met 15 years ago. This is her first. She has babysat me thru 9 so I am taking extra good care of her on this one. She deserves it! Thank you everyone for the well wishes and prayers. She says Thank you!

As for my walking, I was able to do a total of 3.05 miles today which puts me at 5.82 miles total. Not as much as I want to have a this point but best I could do so far. BUT...I just finished checking my tires and everything on my new bike that I haven't had a chance to ride yet. I will be breaking it in tomorrow for a few miles. Great job everyone for what you have done so far. Like I said, it doesn't matter if you do 1 mile or 20 miles a day, just do what you can. It is not a race. And drink your Water, water water!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
