This comment might be in way left field but I need to ask... do any of you use compression garments for stomach arms or legs? Like the runners sleeves or runner compression pants...spanks anything.... do they help?

Shannon

Great question and yes.....up until now I've been wearing one of these.

I won't have to wear it again thankfully....but it has made all the difference. It stays in place and held my biggest problem area in place while running. The first couple of times it seemed uncomfortable but I got used it is very quickly. It became no big deal very quickly.

Yes, most of the time I wear Assets. They are a form of Spanx. I ALWAYS exercise with it on and I always wear one when I am out. At home I sometimes wear it. The ones I have are light so they aren't too bad to wear during exercise but I cannot wait until the day I have plastics and don't have to wear them anymore!

Good lord!! You are amazing! At least to someone who doesn't go on 25 mile rides you are!

I walked around the house 6 times today. Gets easier each time.

So basically you will be done in the first week??

Doesn't sound like much as a challenge!

[Georgia 2,908]

I will admit biking (even mountain) is a lot easier than walking and running the 100 miles

Hello there...well I walked 2.35 miles and rode the recumbent bike for 4 miles today. That puts my total at 12.17 miles so far.

I learned a good lesson today...you get what you pay for. I was looking at a Trek mountain bike. I decide to save money and go with the Mongoose brand from Walmart instead. Well, that was a joke. Piece if junk and didn't fit my 6'2" frame. Well that is what I get. So I took that back today and went and bought the Trek like I should have to begin with. I get to pick it up Monday...being assembled brand new out of the box! Woo Hoo!!!

I took my bike in for servicing and ended up trading it in on a new bike for my 75 pound reward. Going to use it for cross training as I increase my running mileage.

So far this month:

Run: 8 (goal 60)

Walk: 7 (goal 40)

Bike: 0 (goal 50)

Total: 15
