100 mile challenge



Recommended Posts

A short 2 miles today split up into sprinting segments of 800 m. Felt like road runner. :) total: 97.5.

The sprints were in between pull ups, double unders and kettle bell sets. A good met-con. :)

Hey BTB- how in the world are you running with a broken toe? A few posts (or pages) back you stated you had 2 more runs to do this week. Crazy!

Hey. Well I did my stress test yesterday at the cardiologists office. That's the first time I've ran on a treadmill in years. By the end he had that incline cranked all the way up but I was determined not to quit. I ran at 170 bpm heart rste for 3-4 minutes before he shut it down. No toe pain really.

So this morning I did 4 miles doing overpass repeats getting ready for a 10K this weekend. So for me, that's day 19...76.1 miles.

Those 3 days off killed a nice roll I was on but I'll make it up before the 30th.

Hey, All Challenge Peeps! I woke thinking of this. I'll bet many of you (US!) didn't realize how active you have become since you probably didn't track it. Granted we've stepped up our game, but in The long haul, think of what true transformation has taken place in our lives through VSG, Change of diet and plain ole exercise!! hard work pays off!!!

Ok - good job at setting an example of pushing through adversity to achieve a goal. It is admirable.

I soooooo did not want to do anything today after my crazy work-day yesterday but I got my butt into the gym and rode 6 miles on the stationary bike, 1 mile on the elliptical and did 40 minutes of strength training bringing my milage to 64.6. I think if it weren't for this challenge I wouldn't have pushed myself. Thanks Butter!

Today I walked 2.28 miles and just finished a 3.04 mile ride on my bike in the garage. I stopped because my knee that I had surgery on last year for a torn meniscus started bothering me. I had to listen to it and stop. No biggee, just needed a break. That put me at 5.32 miles today and a total of 66.4 miles for the month. Great job everyone! Keep it up!

      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.
