Nike+ BT BEGINNER's challenge (Page 2)

at least the Badgers won last night...

FYI, I will be gone for a week, (17-24) so I will have to upload all my runs (my millions of miles , heh heh) upon my return, so be prepared to see some presto change-o in the numbers.

Medic is now kickin heiney! 

I just completed my last run of the week (I'm switching the LSD run on Saturday to either NordicTrac or trainer).  I got a little more than 10 miles for the week in, and at TJ's invitation, I ran, and walked, and practically crawled.  Turns out I have a stress fracture in my leg, and running every day was not a wise choice.    But I wasn't about to back out of this challenge!  LOL

I'm going to be drastically limiting my running over the next few weeks, so I guess it's up to you all! 

OH NO! Poor you! That is exactly what I am trying to avoid, while I am thrilled at this new motivation I seem to have, I am petrified of overdoing it, which is so easy to do w/ running (compared to swimming or cyclin...)

 Take good care, and follow those doc's orders, after all the Nike+ trophy isn;t real gold!

Travis and Ed,

I'll get you added to the challenge today.  Let me know if you don't get an invite.  Good luck!

(I don't turn on my computer on Sundays--so I haven't been ignoring you   )

Did you have fun with the snow?  I tried running--went about 300 steps and had to stop because the pain in my leg was so bad I could hardly walk.  Not sure how much running I'm going to be doing for the rest of this challenge.  (The weight loss challenge is probably going to go to hell, too, with all the depression eating.     )

oh no! can you do the elliptical or will that hurt too? I haven;t tried to see if teh nano will pick up mileage on an eeliptical. How about the pool? bike?

as for the eating treat yourself to fresh fruit, even expensive out of season fruit and much on that!

reeeeallllllY? SO if I told you to drop a couple grand in my bank acct would you do that too? 

sure.... i'll need your bank account # and your pin#...

I'm not sure about being able to use the Nike+ with an elliptical.  I know it doesn't work with the NordicTrac or the bike on a trainer.  I heard somewhere that it measures foot falls, so I think there has to be actual impact to register.  I am so bummed that I can't run because I am in so many challenges.  My running was really getting better, and I was having a blast with all this.  I'm still able to exercise with the trainer (which was giving me better weight management anyway), but I'm gonna fall SOOOOOOO far behind in the challenges.   I normally eat pretty well anyway, and even with the pity-party I hosted over the weekend, my weight was down this morning, which was helpful in banishing the "feel sorry for me." 

We took the children bowling this evening just to get out--all this snow is causing cabin fever I think--and I had to quit after 4 frames because the pain in my leg from planting my foot was so bad I couldn't stand on it.  SO, I guess it's rest and non-impact for me for awhile.  I can work on fitness, just not running. 

Good luck to all of you in the challenges!
