Hey everyone! Great job on your totals for September and a huge thank you to Butterthebean for starting that post and challenging us all to challenge ourselves. We all wish BTB great success and a speedy recovery from his surgery. We know you will be watching and cheering us on. October is among us and with that comes a new challenge. 100 miles in 31 days! Walk, run, bike, whatever you do, log those miles and drink that water! Anyone who has been lurking in the shadows and watching last months challenge, now is your time to join us! It doesn't matter if you do 1 mile a day or 20, just go at your pace and have fun! For those of us who participated in last months challenge, I want to issue a personal challenge to add another 15 miles to what you did last month. After all, there is 1 more day in this month.

On a side note, this group has become very motivational for me as well as others. If you don't mind, let's let everyone know your real first name. If you would rather not and just want to go with your username that is perfectly fine. I will kick it off...my name is Ted. Good luck everyone and log those miles!!

Sending sympathy and light to you and your family. Took a short walk with the hubs' date=' 1.7 miles. 61.8 total so far.[/quote']

This was one of the hardest workouts I have done in terms of stamina and endurance. Felt good afterwards, but worn out. I worked out with 2 others and we were all looking worn afterwards.

You know, my favorite time of the day is about 10 m after I get home, taking a hot shower. Feels so good. I also do some contrast showers, but not every day.

What's wrong? Definitely take the time to recoup if you are not feeling good. This challenge will still be here when you come back strong. Hope you feel better soon.

Walked 3 miles today and just finished a 4 mile bike ride. That puts me at 81.5 miles to date. Feeling great and I hope everyone else is as well! Everyone is doing great!

Couple diff things going on. The RA wants to come flare on me so I'm fighting that. My thyroid meds were too high now that I've lost weight. So I was almost strung out and hyper and therefore short of sleep. As soon as that was figured out I had to go off them for a bit and I crashed hard. Depressed, exhausted, worn out. So now on new dosage which hasn't kicked in. Everything hurts, feel like I have the flu and work is insanely busy, so worn out that way too.

All the things you don't think about when you blithely run off to get WLS.

Oh dear, that does not sound like a good place to be in. I hope your body stabilizes to the new regimen of the RA, thyroid meds soon. How long does it take for those changes to work themselves out?

Well the macho me believes it only takes as long as it does for me to man up, suck it up, and get on with it. but I suspect I will feel better within 2-3 days with the thyroid and then I'll be in cancun with my husband so I'll stop caring anyway! Thanks for asking.

Hello everyone, i just picked up on this thread and would like to join the fun! I am pre op but working on getting in better shape before surgery. Since the month is half over, I will target 50 miles by the end of month. Did 5.5 miles after work today on the recumbent bike.

Does 140.6 miles in one day count?
