lsu2868 708 Posted September 24, 2013 Hey Butter, I will take care of starting the Oct challenge. We definitely need to keep this going. I agree, it won't be the same without you but we know you will be peaking in for encouragement. I will have to postpone starting the Couch 2 5K as planned. I had planned to start next Monday but on a great news note, my wife will be getting sleeved that morning. We are both excited. I guess I will do my walking laps around the hospital while she is in surgery. Now...time for a walk. 4 tparkerc59, gamergirl, Butterthebean and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterthebean 8,146 Posted September 25, 2013 Oh I'll definitely be looking in and encouraging everyone. I never thought so many people would jump in. I thought it would just be me and Laura.....and only because I shamed her into it. Oh btw....just got this from last Saturdays 10K. 5 gamergirl, Georgia, lsu2868 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lsu2868 708 Posted September 25, 2013 Ok, that pushed me over the edge; I've been lurking and thinking "I'm not up to this yet" but if you did it 5 weeks post op, I can't really come up with a valid excuse at 4 months!! I'll be joining the October challenge (Yikes!!) Come on in and join us! The more the better! It is very motivating! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lsu2868 708 Posted September 25, 2013 Well, I walked 3.69 miles. I am taking a break from the bike tonight but might try some light free weights for the first time since surgery. This puts my total at 104.7 for the month! 4 RoxFC, Butterthebean, gamergirl and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewSetOfCurves 1,553 Posted September 25, 2013 Rode my bike for over an hour today. A lot of up hill riding. I did not calculate the mileage. Can any of you give me an estimated guess as to how many miles that might be???? Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tparkerc59 334 Posted September 25, 2013 Okay' date=' *just* added up everything and I did it!!!! Today's total is: (drumroll) 104.87 miles Woo hoo! They are mostly from spin class but some are from running and some are from walking (oh and I did add in some from just an exercise bike when I was waiting for my fusion class to start, I killed 10 mins on the exercise bike right outside the door, figured I could stand around and "chat" or I could move my legs. ) Definitely a good feeling of accomplishment. I'm going to still keep track and see where I end up by the end of Sept. Thanks all for the support and thanks Butter for getting us started and keeping us encouraged.[/quote']congrats!
