    Managed to get 23miles in yesterday but too many beers. 66 Windy miles with the club today and 40 planned early tomorrow.

    Now to relax and eat ready for it. Happy christmas for tomorrow.

    cheers jeannie, Have you tried physio or a foam roller to loosen it up?

    You guys are doing GREAT! Gruffdris We have a heated vibrater which can be pretty aggressive. It helps. I rotate heat with ice. It IS better. At least it does not run from LT rotor cuff too RT rotor cuff. It is localized in the middle of my neck NOW. My husband is an R.N and says I have an injury around the vertebrae. Hopefully it is just an injury from lifting with weak muscles after having the flu. IF it were not better I would be really worried. It is going on2 weeks and I Know this type of injury does not leave just over night. I had a similar injury years ago and had too end up going too Physical Therapy,, I HOPE I don't have too do that!

    ANYWAY LAST NIGHT I got in 3 miles on the Exercise Bike...
    TODAY I got in 2 walking miles.......

    TOTAL THUS FAR................41 WALKING MILES.....
    ...........................................16.9 EXERCISE BIKE MILES...

    I would like to join you if that's ok. I know it is too late this month, but I will see how many miles I can get before January instead of waiting for the new year :smile:
  • I would like to join as well. I do walk regularly but not in any challenge. I'm hoping for some additional motivation to go beyond what I am accomplishing now.

    I'd like to join too please, getting an early start for January! I walk most days so it will be good to track but mine will be kms, not miles, as I'm in New Zealand. Hope that's ok ;-)

    Welcome Bill & Kaplat! Gruff, looks like Bill might give you a run (or bike ride) for your money. ;)
    If we were the tortoise and the hare, you guys definitely win the title of Hare. But remember, the tortoise is in it for the long haul. Slow & steady, I say!

    But really, glad to have some new pals here. Jeannie, we'll be looking for the January thread soon. (*)

    Welcome to the challenge, know its abit on the cold side out there but 1 or 100 miles your still getting up and trying to make a difference to your body and life. Keep at it there is no limit :)


    Been riding in different shoes and not set them up quiet right. Few days of knee ache so only 10 miles on boxing day and 27 yesterday. Club ride this afternoon should be another 100+ though if im not in pain. If any one uses strava feel free to add me http://www.strava.com/athletes/1644214

    Good job, sddar. Keep it up!
    Gruff, today you definitely would have dragged me, but I don't think I would have kicked and screamed. Maybe just asked for a nice padded sled... This darn illness has kept me down another day. Huff... I will get better tomorrow. I will get better tomorrow. I will get better...

    Back to work tomorrow!! Y'all have a great Monday.

    SO SORRY you're not feeling well jesiann! I know how you feel! Dont know IF any of you have read back but I use too do at least 100 miles a month. I have even done 128 miles. Getting the flu and then injuring my shoulder has really set me back BUT MY SPIRIT IS NOT BROKEN and Gruff you will NOT have too drag me once I am ME again.... :) UNLESS you expect me too keep up with your pace...lol...That would be rough on a 62 year old woman! lol

    Sunday 1.25 Miles best I could do. Today pouring rain, not the best day with my neck and shoulder. It became a day of rest other than my Husband helping me vacumn and do a load of laundry. That was bad enough...ughhhhhhhhhh

    TOTAL THUS FAR DECEMBER 29TH...........48.50 WALKING MILES.....
    ...............................................................16.9 EXERCISE BIKE MILES...
