Adding 9.91 miles today and just wanted to mention...19,722 steps! :drinker:
Four miles was with my grandpuppy, Bean, and five miles was with a Leslie DVD...
It was a beautiful day!

I am definitely not going to make my goal this month...but that is okay, I'm good with where I am goal wise.
January is another month and I *WILL* make my goal then.
I had an allergic reaction to a power bar and possibly the curry I ate for lunch on Saturday. Yesterday and today was spent short of breath and dealing with my swollen face and tongue. I have a script for steroids and directions to take Benadryl every four hours on the dot, and to use Vaseline only on my split lips-and to stop scratching the hives on my face and hands. I can go back to work tomorrow but still have to keep a low profile and stay away from anything too taxing.
December Miles.
Walking: 41.45 Miles
Biking: 82.92 Miles
Total Miles 124.37 Miles

I'm still putting the Arnica gel on it (AMAZING STUFF!), alternating between heating pad and ice packs, ibuprofen, drinking lots of water, light stretching, and a little foam rolling. I figured out precisely which muscle it was tonight and why it doesn't bother me to run. It isn't any muscle used to propel me forward...it's the one that moves my left leg straight to the side. Like if I lay on my right side and try to lift my left leg straight up like a scissor, OWWWW, that's* the muscle. :ohwell: I just hope it doesn't take as long to heal like the tendon tear I had on my knee that just stopped hurting a couple of months ago after bothering me for a freaking year and a half.... :noway:
Definitely...and thank you. I now suspect that whatever I did was worse than just a strain or pull now though. I've noticed a fair amount of bruising that appeared in the last day or so meaning that there must have been some tearing that resulted in bleeding. :ohwell: But it is feeling better and didn't affect my run hardly at all last night.Ran 5K on the treadmill and then did a brisk walk for a total of 3.8 miles. Not as much as I had hoped....wanted to do the bike too, but I do still have two more days to get the remaining 9.8 miles for goal. And I probably should be careful not to overdo it as my hip is still healing. It's getting better every day though and I'm almost walking completely normally again.
Dave
Definitely don't overdo it! Be bad to strain it and set yourself back further.
Dave
Ouch! Sounds like you're already doing this, but just listen to your body. It will let you know PDQ if it's not happy with what you're doing.

Since there are so many of us using fitbits, why don't we start an @ss-mover fitbit group? It shouldn't be that hard and it doesn't take any extra tracking work. What do you think?
Would this be in addition to/a subpart of/instead of this group?
Okay, I just created a MYAC fitbit group at http://www.fitbit.com/group/223SRT. You are welcome to join.
The purpose of the group is to provide some extra motivation to @ss-movers who already use a fitbit device. It doesn't replace anything, it's meant to enhance the myac experience and it's strictly optional :bigsmile:

Today's run was my last hurrah. Thanks to 84 hour work weeks the last two weeks, my running was sub-par for the month.
