Off to a slow start but have been very busy lately.0 -
1 whole treadmill mile. I am trying to switch the mindset to strength training and did the workout my new trainer set up for me. Still couldn't leave the gym without burning a few cardio calories - time constraints left it to the one mile. My afternoon extra shift was canceled and the fact that I only have 5600 steps today is making me want to go outside, but the thunder is getting louder.

That August I had turned 40 and decided I was tired of being sick (type 2 diabetes for 20 years, on insulin and other meds), obese and inactive. I had already been logging food and had some fitness goals, but this challenge was the perfect addition to keep me moving! I really love the support and the accountability (and the nerd in me likes the numbers!) Fast forward to now...only 1 diabetes med, normal blood sugar, "healthy" BMI, WOOT! I feel really lucky to have found this group!
I have 15.6 to add. 6 mi trail run/hike and 9.6 bike ride. It's more bike for me this month, on my trail run I re-sprained the ankle.
I will rest it longer this time it will get better!!!
@Scarfe9991: What a fantastic story. I was so afraid that I would end up with diabetes. Another reason why I went for the lifestyle change. Look at you now....you have been an inspiration to me on here and continue to be. I hope that your ankle feels better soon.

Well it has been crazy gardening week and packing for a well deserved vacation before heading back to the classroom. I will be upper Michigan bound and staying right off a fabulous freshwater lake. Lots of running, some kayaking and biking. Will do a day on Mackinac Island if time allows. I love biking all over the island and along some nice river trails.
@Dean: I am trying out the Gatorskin tires you suggested. I will let you know how I like them.
While at the bike shop, my hubby had to drag me away from this trade in Italian bike that retailed for $7,900. They were selling it for $4,700.00. I could lift it with my index finger.....oh baby.

You should have posted a picture so we could all drool over that bike. I went to Gatorskins and 25mm tires instead of the 23s and it's made all the difference in the world. I am getting worse at changing flats though. :laugh: 0 -

Well I got myself something fun to do in the morning. I am going to ride my bike as medical support for a bunch of runners in the Wine Country Half Marathon from Stoller Estates Vinyards. I have from the start to mile 6 to support. Funny, the Promoters came to our cycling group at the last minute (yesterday) for help for their runners. One drawback, I have to be up at 5, load and travel for a 7 am start time. Just a short spin today, don't want to kill my legs.

Congrats to Lady Persia for making her July goal.
@tlacox1 - so glad you are getting better.
@kar328 - I don't think I congratulated you on your big milestone. What a life changing accomplishment. Way to go!
Inching closer to the half million all time miles. As Dave said, should be today or tomorrow. When we hit it, how about if we each post a thought about overcoming obstacles, the power of perseverance or how this group has been a positive influence. Would that be a good way to acknowledge our collective achievement?
