50 Mile Challenge - May Finish Line

hey guys..  my goal was to try for 50.... well I got about 61 miles in this month all walking. I think even the dog has lost weight

Heh. Very nice. I'm sure the dog's happy to have the attention, no doubt.

Well Its been an interesting month,  started out getting a vasectomy that took me out  for 5 days, then I finally got back into the walking groove, and get sick and that kicked my butt for 6 days. But I still did exceeded my goal of 50 miles, but its easy to do when I can walk 5 miles in a day and not think twice.

Well Dan I am still pre-op however I have walked 21 of 31 days this month with an average of 6 miles a day. I have also started riding the stationary bike for 30 minutes when I get up first thing in the mornings. I have also starting lifting weights again so maybe I can get buff like Carbon Bob there. Strictly light weight nothing over 350 on the bench and then just a routine arm and back workout.  The  Dr says that all of this will help out quite a bit for my procedure I thank you for the motivation and the swift kick in the ass to get me moving.

Dan. I wish I was as active as you are now before I had the surgery. The most exercise I think I got before surgery was paying the bill to my health club. I certainly didn't darken their door more than a couple of times. Now they don't even ask for my ID anymore. The nice lady at the front desk greets me with a smile and has me all checked in by the time I walk in the door. Kind of a good "NORM!" moment. Anything you can do now will definitely help surgery and recovery. Only a few weeks off now.

Dan, I know I have been MIA from the challenge recently.  I logged in 54 miles in May, which was my worst month since beginning the challenge, but I have been traveling so much this month that I guess it's not too bad.  I have been able to maintain my weight however so that is a good thing. I don't think I'll be traveling as much in June so I am gonna try to get back to at least a hundred miles for June. Will you please forward a new spreadsheet to me at [email protected]? Thanks, and thanks for keeping the challenge alive. Scott

Thanks for checking in Scott. Glad everything continues to go swimmingly for you. You've got mail.

72 miles walking. 20 miles biking 3 hours tennis .5 hours swimming this was the month that I broke my treadmill.  rear roller gave up the ghost.  have the part and have to replace it myself. but it forced me to break up my routine and start some new things! thanks for the inspiration guys! Joe

Nice work there Joe. Never a bad thing to shake up the routine a bit. Tennis and golf have been added to my list of things I can now do again. Hope the treadmill comes through surgery okay.
