100 Miles in January 2013 Challenge



Recommended Posts

Wow, what a great idea. Guess I need to get out of bed and start before work today. This will get me back on the treadmill. Thank you for the idea and the help. Wishing you all a healthy, happy New Year. We need to walk about 3.5 miles a day. I plan to bulk up on my miles on the weekends when the demands of life are less.

I agree! When I was training for a marathon I would do 14-18 miles on Saturdays. Today is my day off so I'm gonna do 6. Thanks for joining!

Wow! 100 miles ! I'll admit I don't think I can hit that this time of year . Last time I did, it was 110 miles run/hike/walk in July . It's easier for me in the summer, I teach and am off work then. Now I am lucky to get about 12-13 miles/week in on runs and since it's snowshoe season, we end up doing half the distance (of what we.usually hike weekly) yet work just as hard.

But I am inspired to work on some my kind of distance goal! I'll have to look at my winter average last year and try to beat my highest.

Please join and post anyway. The goal is to keep us all moving in the right direction. I'm in Cali and I have the gym a block away AND I have a treadmill in my bedroom so I admit I'm set up more for success because its not snowing outside.

New Years day! Snowshoe! Not very far (snow shoeing is twice as hard as hiking!) but it's a start, plus it was gorgeous! 3.28 miles!

I use a free Nike run app that tracks your route and records your data. I like that I can have an accurate measure no matter where I choose to walk.

The cold can make us want to stay in bed. WE ALL KNOW, we need to keep moving. What better way than a movement challenge.

I am starting a January challenge to walk/run 100 miles in January (60k) Log in your miles each Saturday of January.

For those of you wondering, that means TOMORROW it starts..

Who can hear the Rocky theme song in their ears right now? If not, what song will be your January motivation?

Jump in all!

i cant as far as you guys, but can walk 30 mins a day

and have no idea how far but i am walking..

does that count??

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
