@clepant Ouch! I've been stung once in my life and can't imagine many at the same time.
@Leanz I'm very sorry for your loss.
Night two of three, it finally settled down enough for me to do a mile around the halls.
An hour and a half left - this is the scary time - all the women who stayed home, not wanting to venture out in the wee hours, start rolling in.
Total miles 132.70 -
Today I used up my third strike. Last week while weeding I in-nested a hive of wood borer bees. No stings. Monday I was pulling weeds and opened up a ground nest of little bees. No stings. Today at my dads I was weeding and I opened up a huge ground nest of yellow jackets. I had five or six stings around both ankles before I even realized what happen. So I guess that is strike three. It is good I am not allergic but I hate the after itch that lasts for weeks. Not allowed to take Benadryl either because it reacts to a med I take.
July 25: 11 miles of walking 6 and cycling 5 miles
TTD: 251.7 miles
Youch! Those sting like a mother. Hope you're doing better soon.0 -
Ticker still not working. Adding 15 for 345 out of 300.0

@CLEPANT - Ouch!! It sounds like you had run your course of good luck!
That's no fun for sure. I'm allergic to bee stings, or at least I was when I was a teenager. I was out in the middle of nowhere with my son a couple years ago. He was doing his gun safety field training and he was practicing carrying a rifle safely through brush and I was tagging along as a parent chaperone and someone disturbed some sort of nest and whatever it was came straight for me and I got stung in the neck several times. I had always heard that I needed to get to a hospital quickly if that happened or my airway might get blocked from swelling...but medical help was nowhere near. I managed to ice it down and thankfully didn't have a severe reaction to the venom. I don't know exactly what they were, but I guess that day was not the day my number was up. 
@LEANZ - I'm so sorry for the loss of your Mother too! My heart goes out to you. :flowerforyou:
I need to get off my butt and move today. Even though after Friday I only needed a little over a mile to make goal, it didn't happen yesterday. I swam with my boys in the pool, but I think I ended the day with only 2500 steps??
Yikes....I've averaged well over 12K every single day for the last two weeks maybe? I probably needed a rest day, but jeez....

@clepant - ouch! Hope it stops hurting and itching soon.
@Just_ceci - big time bonus miles!

@tlacox - glad you are healing. Hang in there.
@lovemyalex - that's some amazing mileage for one just out of surgery.
I did nothing today (other than present the volunteer project I've been working on). I decided I needed a decompression day. Back at it tomorrow. Hope you all had a fab weekend!0 -

@ Dave: you should carry an epi-pen if you are allergic to bee venom,

I probably should....that was the first time I had been stung in about 40 years and really wasn't sure if I still was allergic or not. I guess even now, I still don't know...@ Dave: you should carry an epi-pen if you are allergic to bee venom,

@leanz I am so very sorry for your loss.
@clepant ouch! Sorry about your stings!
@Dave it's funny about the steps, my friend and I have been cheering eachother in the app for our LOW steps, lol! She's hurt too and is supposed to be off her feet also. Cheering for resting is good too, right? I've been trying to ignore seeing myself slowly sinking to the very bottom of my leaderboard, lol!!
I rode my bike 9.4 miles with my son this morning making goal for me.
MTD 75 0 -

Took a long walk this morning and then spent the rest of the day helping my college student start cleaning up her apartment to move out. It's much cleaner, but it still needs more work before Friday. I hope she is getting more done before then.
Added 6.5 miles today. July total 121.5 miles
@Leanz I'm sorry for your loss. I lost Dad in April and it still doesn't seem real some days.
@Lovemyalex Wow look at you go. You aren't letting a little knee replacement keep you down.
5 more days to go everyone! Lets keep moving.
edit: I really hope tickerfactory is back up soon. It took me 4 tries to get my miles right tonight.

That is* funny, but it's also AWESOME of you to encourage each other to lay off the activity! Excellent way to use the technology to support each other in healing!!! I love it!! :drinker:scarfe9991 wrote: »@Dave it's funny about the steps, my friend and I have been cheering each other in the app for our LOW steps, lol!
