    And I am impressed by how well everyone is doing this month. :drinker: Many of you are fighting through injuries or illness but you're still movin on as best you can.:flowerforyou: Yay!! You remind me to be thankful for my health and my relatively intact body...only the minor aches and pains that come from not being a teenager anymore (and sometimes forgetting that my body doesn't recover like it used to.:angry: ) And we're almost 200 posts into our second thread already. :bigsmile: Wow what a great group to be part of where we encourage each other and share great pictures and gifs and just have fun. :bigsmile:

    Ok, yes I am tired :yawn: And I get a bit mushy when I'm tired. :yawn: But I had to stay up and catch up with y'all cause I really do enjoy seeing how we all are doing.. :yawn: So with that said: Good Night :yawn:

    There are so many inspiring stories, pictures and giffs in this thread.

    I'm still not running as I'm resting the right calf in the hope that it heals - going to see a physio in about 10 days to try and work out why my right leg is ALWAYS the one that has injuries - am I doing something wrong? or is it just the way I'm made? Hopefully a clever solution can be found as I really love running - even though I came to it late and needed to lose a couple of pounds to do it!!
    @K80FLEC - My initial inklings why you have a greater incidence of injuries on your right leg...and bear in mind I am *NOT* a medical professional, this is just a layman's opinion based on years of experience and reading about such things....is that you potentially either have a difference in length between your two legs, or a muscle imbalance. The former can easily be remedied through "orthotics" (a shoe insert) and the latter can be addressed through knowledgeable, professional physical therapy. Hopefully your upcoming appointment will shed some light. They'll probably do an X-ray to rule out any structural issues with joints (i.e., breakdown of cartilage, bone spurs/calcium deposits, etcetera) and examine for previous injuries that might have resulted in muscle adhesions. I don't know if you're going to a general M.D. or what, but hopefully whoever (whomever? lol) you see will have some experience in Sports Medicine...and better yet, be a runner themselves. And I'm completely in the same boat with needing to lose a few pounds. I know that's a huge source of my numerous aches and pains. Every extra pound multiplies the force of impact the body has to absorb and if there are any structural weaknesses in the body, unfortunately, they will be exploited and compounded. :ohwell:

    So that's my mission right now....to persevere through this difficult phase and try not to aggravate or seriously injure anything else to the point of sidelining me until I can lose enough weight that running is more enjoyable (and pain-free) once again. :flowerforyou:

    Good luck!

    Disappeared for a few days while we cleaned out gardens and put the veggies into storage or canned. But short walk in yesterday and a nice longer walk today. Slowly getting back on track!

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

    =======================

    @TANYAMAC13 and @CHARLENEBERRY54 - Sorry it took me so long to get back to you....busy night last night and this morning....but WELCOME!!! I got you added to the list and I'll shoot you some info shortly! :smile:

    @LINZNZEUSFITNFIGHT and @RAASY - YAY, you're on the board with some miles now! :drinker:

    @TAM6VAN - I don't know which I hate worse....wind or hills. Great job! Just have to keep telling yourself what I do...."It's resistance training and it's making me stronger!" :bigsmile:

    @GOLDIEJOE - Loved your Tony Robbins quote! So very true!! Side note: Anyone get the reference "Banana Hands"? :laugh:

    @KAWOOKIE - Hey, even slow miles count! I can most definitely vouch for that with my uber-slow pace! :bigsmile: My favorite joke as I run past walkers at about 0.000001 mph faster than they're moving is to say, "You better hold on to your hats when I run by!" :laugh:

    @TAXMOM9093 - Thank you for your encouraging note. It's completely okay for you to get mushy any time you'd like. In case it hasn't become obvious yet....I'm kinda a fan of the mush. Yeah, the big, mean, tough-looking, Harley-riding, former Jarhead...he's a just a big 'ol teddy bear. But let's just keep that our little secret. I got my image to protect... :wink::laugh:

    @JESSIBELLEW - Yup, you're on track and back in the FESTIVE GREEN!! :drinker:


    Today is the 8th so we're a little over a week into October. You should be roughly 1/4 of the way to your goal by now. If you are, great! If not, there's still plenty of time to get caught up....but you need to GET MOVING! :flowerforyou:
