100 mile challenge



Recommended Posts

Hey butter! How's Barney (my new nickname for your toe) doing today??

LV.... Barney did not like sleeping under the covers this morning. And he REALLY didn't like walking around in steel toe boots at work last night. And he f**king hated it when my dog stepped on him this morning when I got home.... In her attempt to greet me with her usual enthusiasm.

I'd take off work but these next 3 nights are my last workdays till after I recover from surgery.... It wouldn't look good if I took them off.

Did the buddy tape him or just let him hang?

I've had a broken toe before, (never kick a door when angry :P) and I reminder the pain well :(

No tape yet. There's still too much swelling and throbbing... Don't get excited.

Lol! I won't.... But I bet your wife did!! :P

Yes, I do believe there is time to do another 100 by EOM (end of month). How long did I wait until running? Over 5 months, but that is just because I did not have my fitness butt in gear before then. It was in park. I think if one waits at least 6 weeks post op they can start c25k or something in the same vein. No running today, a rest day. This last week was quite a push.

By the way, I am still smarting from 5 dime sized popped blisters on my hands from Thursday (same day as your broken toe BTB?). I am unable to do pull-ups with these, but still managed sprint rowing and cleans / jerks on Friday with lifting gloves. Apparently this happens to everyone.

I have been lathering on Neosporin several times during the day and even did the tea bag and Vitamin e oil application trick. Any idea on how long these will take to heal and callous over? They are mighty big craters in both my hands. First time I have ripped my hands like this.

Good job everyone. I'm giving my aching toe a break for a couple of days...but I'll be back at it soon enough. I've got one last race next Saturday and I'm not going to miss it. I need at least 2 or 3 good training runs before then so hopefully by monday I can run a little. Keep at it folks. Everyone is making real progress.

2.79 miles today which puts me at 45 miles. So, I have to do a minimum of 5 miles walking or riding in order to break my goal of 50 miles. Great job everyone!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
