    A quick post here...lol...then I'll get to work updating the spreadsheet. :smile:

    Well, my dear friends, today was a real* mixed bag of stuff. Some good, some not so good....but thankfully the day has been gently brought to almost a close on several good, happy notes. I won't bore you with the details of it all, but bottom line....life is okay.

    I finally experienced a couple of hours of zero pain in my knees...most notably (and definitely most welcome!) on the way walking into the gym tonight for my run! I also had my longest run/walk in recent time of 4.0 miles. My running form feels stronger and more fluid and I think I'm right on the edge of some dramatic improvements. Very exciting. I have to attempt to contain my enthusiasm tho and not overdo it and injure myself as I have in the past. :) Just have to practice the "Don't increase my mileage more than 10% per week" rule.




    Anyway, I said this would be quick... :laugh:... but I wanted to take this opportunity to tell all of you how much I've enjoyed the chance to hang out with you and share some laughs while we celebrate each other's successes and offer comfort and/or encouragement when someone is struggling. We're ALL the stronger for it. I don't know about you, but most of the time, I feel like I'm being carried along from the energy here.

    Soooo....THANKS. Really. :flowerforyou:

    And we thank YOU for all you do to keep this going! I've only been a part of this for 2 months but I'm so motivated by everyone's progress and encouragement. And Dave.... Yep...that 10% rule is what my running coach instilled in me ( I'm not a part of a group anymore....but I still remember the rules). Take care out there. My knee felt a bit 'wonkified' on my run today, but I pushed through. Could be from the extra strenuous stretching at yoga class?(I was supposed to tell her when I'd reached my limit when she helped to enhance my stretch). I played "Mrs. Tough Lady!" Not too wise!

    Dave, Denise, Dinos & Janet
    I've said it many times, and I'll say it again. I'm still on MFP and pushing to achieve my goal because of this very challenge. THANK YOU! You guys are ggggrrrreeeaaatttt!!! And Dave, I hope that everything's ok with you. :flowerforyou:

    I have found that my tendon doesn't hurt once I'm on the bicycle. Stairs are still right out and walking requires me to roll my foot to the outside. however, I can still bike so the charge to 400 is still on. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Tack on another 16 miles for a total of 150 miles. That still puts me behind pace but I'll see what I can do.
    @SUFFERLANDRIAN - Great to see you back on the move, Buddy!!!!!! :drinker:

    @BUBBL3S25 - Congrats on the Trailblazer 53K event!! :smile:

    @CALLIOPE610 - Naaaah, never too late to join in!!! I got your Sept updated and carried the miles forward to this month.

    @JENNIFERTSMITH - Congrats on your Triathlon!! :smile:

    @BENNO1978 - Gotcha down and welcome!!! :drinker:


    =======================
    Spreadsheet updated to here.

    And with that done, I'm off to the gym to MOVE MY @$$!!!!! :drinker:

    I've been trying to reply since last night, but was too tired/sleepy/hot... I'm just gonna reply now instead of reading through all of the posts or I'll never reply. LOL.
    i thought is was doing a lot by biking 20 to 26 miles daily but you are doubling that....all i can say is....WOW... STAY STRONG...happy
    That IS a lot! You're doing great. :smile:

    onawhymm: Beach walks? Not fair. lol

    mysticinnocent: WTG w your 272 miles!
    Obsessive-Compulsive Cycling Disease??
    :laugh:

    Thanks for your comments, taxmom and Dave. :smile: And, Dave, you're doing it right by working at YOUR pace.

    speedy, what do you mean you're learning to get used to it? Are you a newbie runner? Looking at your wall updates, I would have thought that you had been doing this for years. You're so fast!

    You all are doing great! Enjoy the cooler weather. :smile:

    Kudos to you Dave for amping this already great challenge up!!! And Speedy - I dig your graphics in your posts!!!!:drinker: I did not clock Any "miles" today as I got my *kitten* whooped by trimming an 8' wide by 100 foot long hedge. Still have one more dump run but will have to wait til tomorrow. After that I am looking forward to a nice long beach walk! Great weekend wishes to all!
