    WOOOO HOOOOOO Finished my first 5k today in record time!!! Was hoping to come in under 40 min and I crushed it at 32:07!!!! YAY!!!

    So between yesterday and today (Sat and Sun) I recorded 6 miles.
  • That's awesome, Jen! That's really inspiring! I'll update our totals later today.

    Way to go everyone! :drinker:

    I spent all weekend mostly in bed, it's the safest place for me. We have 3 dogs that want to be with me ALL the time. So if I am on the couch they all try to cuddle with me. Cute huh? Yeah except the 100+ lbs dog who just has to be there as well. He is not so good for my knee! The bed has much more room for all of us LOL.

    MissL, thanks I am hoping to at least get to walking around the park by the weekend. I will wear my stepometer to record distance. Yes I go to see the Orthopedic Surgeon on Friday, please, please can you all send me 'NO SURGERY' vibes?
    I will update you all when I find out more.

    Keep logging those miles and Jen congrats, you really did smash that time. You must be so proud. Go team GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • Ok, so I'm updating our miles from Sat, Sun, and Mon. (Jen, I need your Mon totals and I'll add them next time I post - Thursday)

    Thank you thank you! I have weened myself down to 1 crutch most of the time and have been flirting with small steps without one. I woke up this morning thinking about how many miles I would be adding to the mix if I hadn't of gotten hurt and it's killing me, KILLING!
    My appt. is tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM BST, I am going to ask if I can at least do the treadmill and work up to the elliptical. I don't think I could do the elliptical as it hurts to pull my leg up but I can sling ahead of me when I step. sheesh was a mess I am.

    I'm very proud of you all, keep it up!!!
  • thurs miles 2

    jen and star - let me know what your miles are since you last updated. Jen, I need yours including monday and star I need yours including tuesday. By the way, sorry if it's a little "messy" posting this way - I'm in Asia so my time zone is ahead of you guys - when it's the end of the day for me and i'm ready to post you guys barely woke up for the day!!

    redfroggie, good luck tomorrow! take it really easy and keep us posted. Don't worry about what you could be contributing, you'll get back into things in no time I'm sure!

    Hey guys. Well things didn't go so great at the doctors office. I have to have an MRI, it takes up to 2 weeks to get in and then 2 weeks to get the results. So I get to use crutches for the forseeable future.

    I would suggest that you see if you can get a replacement for me for the challenge. I will be happy to come and cheer everyone on and check on your progress. I'm so sorry I can't be a part of this, I was really looking forward to it.

    Keep up the good work everyone!

    I'm really sorry you're going through this! I'm sending you strength vibes. Just posted our totals and contacted Amelia about finding a fourth member, as you suggested, I'm sorry that you can't continue, but you need to rest your knee and get better - that's all! :)

    Our new team total is 164.45 (through Thursday). Nice work, team!

  • A break is great for your body, too, don't forget that! You're doing awesome, a 5k is impressive!

    Sun miles = 6.7. Had to drop out early, thought I was fighting an injury. Luckily I wasn't. On the upside, within 15 minutes of dropping out of my practice run, a friend asked me to join them at a baseball game. So sweet consolation prize, right? haha

    Alright I am in. I had 7 miles Sunday and 5 more today!:tongue:
  • Sweet, welcome Bugn' - our new fourth team member. Do you know your miles walked since around June 10th? If not, that's fine and I'll just start counting your miles since Sunday. Anyway, try to check in every couple of days as I update our teams totals a few times a week in the main challenge thread. Star, I'll add your sunday totals next time I update which will be probably tomorrow (after getting everyone's Monday and Tuesday totals). Let's go team! :)
