Sole Sisters July Miles Challenge

fitsherry

I figured it was a typo since ticker makes you put in your new total, just wanted to make sure I was posting correct numbers.

I think swimming is actual miles. Here is a calculator:

bstamps can verify since she swims alot.

In swimming, 1500m is generally considered 1 mile. In any meet or competition, they will interchange "the mile" with "1500m." So 30 laps in your pool = 1 mile. I haven't seen anyone convert their swim miles to anything even though it's by far the slowest way to log miles.

I've been working a lot at my secondary job, with no internet so I've been missing the social aspect of MFP!

7/11: 4.1 Miles Running and walking
7/12: 6.67 Miles converted to walking from biking (it was 17 mi biking)
7/13: 1.25 Mi swimming

total 12.02 miles for those days, 32.09 Miles for the month.

Hey Sole Sisters! Hope everyone is doing well

Hey Sole Sisters:

I wanted you to know I didn't dissappear, I just didn't work out this week.

I have 3 vertabras misaligned in my neck, somehow this causes my right hip to shift out of place and my back to tighten up. When my back tightens up I can't sleep. I started having trouble sleeping a couple of weeks ago but Sunday night was not able to sleep at all. I went to get a deep tissue massage on Tuesday and I've been sleeping alot since then. The massages are painful and takes a couple of days before my back feels like moving again. I plan on going walking tonight.

I've been dealing with my neck/back for the past 10yrs, it was really bad last year. I finally found an upper cervical chiropractor that has helped some but I haven't made any progress in the last few months so I made an appointment with a new doctor in September. My chiropractor thinks I have whiplash from over 20 years ago and a mild case of scoliosis. Right now it is about lots of stretching, pain management, and finding a balance to not over do physical activity. It is just frustrating that I have the time and I'm motivated to lose weight and get in shape but my body puts too many limitations on me. I just need to be happy that I'm going in the right direction now.

Ya'll are doing great, we are up to 122.26 miles. WTG!!!

Fitsherry: I have really bad scoliosis but I have been able to correct it over the past 4 yrs after I was told I was only a few degrees away from needing a back brace. My spine was basically an S on an X-Ray. I ended up in physical therapy from muscle spasms in my lower back and they were able to help me fix it. My heart goes out to you because I know it's painful. Proper stretching and constantly thinking about my posture has helped me.

I'll update our miles on Friday since Fitsherry will be gone, but it will be late at night since that is my wedding anniversary!

7/18: 4.00 miles running
7/19: 3.67 miles (11 biking miles converted)

I got home from vacation today, but I found out last night that my husband's grandfather passed away. I will be going back out of town Wed and returning Sun. I doubt I will have time or want to exercise so I won't be contributing the rest of this month. You guys are doing great.

Good Job Sole Sisters! :flowerforyou:

bstamps12

7/31: 8.00 miles converted from biking (21 mi bike ride! Ouch!)

Awesome job to everyone! I am messaging princess in power before I post our final miles to the main board. They are due tomorrow so hopefully she will have a few miles to add! I'll ask if she wants in for August or not

I am back in for August. I'll also message fitsherry and ask her if she wants in for August.

Heads up that I will be on vacation for 8 days in August but I will definitely be getting miles in during those 8 days, just unable to log in.

loveme445

Thanks bstamps for logging our miles on the main board!

I will also be on vacation most of August. I still plan to workout and will be logging in whenever possible to update my miles. So, if you dont hear from me, dont worry I'll be back

fitsherry

Hey guys, I'm finally home. I didn't get any miles in while I was gone, just a lot of sitting. I am looking forward to the new month. I don't plan to go anywhere and my husband will be gone for 2 weeks so lots of time for myself.

You guys did awesome in July. Thanks bstamps for posting while I was away. I'm in for August, I also plan to join a gym so I can get more variety in my workouts and hopefully more workouts/miles.
