WAlk to Disney Challenge... feel free to join

[diamondpixienc]

I just found this thread and this is so cool. Just to clarify, I calculate the distance from my home to WDW then log the miles i've walked each day? ANd can I add the miles i've walk so far this week as I just started a walking routine on Monday 11/8? TIA I'll check back in for a reply every now & again.

This is a pretty flexible thread... I went to mapquest and figured out the miles from my address to AKV (that is usually where we stay). The first time I did the thread I was trying to get back into a routine, so I wore my pedometer all day and counted all of my miles for the day (I also only had a few weeks before my trip). I finished that in time for our trip a couple of weeks ago. Now that I have started walking more routinely I am going to just count the miles that I walk for exercise for our trip in January. I would absolutely count your miles from when you started your rountine.

PS If I had been thinking, I would have counted all of the miles I put in a Concord Mills mall last weekend LOL (I noticed that you are from Charlotte, Asheville girl here)

Started again yesterday for next trip... 3/627

Glad you got it started

Another 5 from the last week or so...

13/1025

Also got my 7yo DD to join me with her own version I created to equate minutes to miles since she can't always walk longer distances.

Terra = 5/1025

I joined this thread and started about a year ago. It is 2011.66 from my house to Magic Kingdom.

I cannot remember the last time I posted or how much mileage I mustered.

Got sick this year, emergency surgery, unable to walk for months.

Now I want to start again.

Tomorrow.

It will be a two year goal (approximately) - want to get there by January, 2013, in time for the half marathon (which, God willing, I will complete). I am going to Disney in January but just for the 5k.

Sister in law and I injured (strained MCL for me).

So if its, ok, I am back. This is a cool challenge

I'd love to join in as well. Doing a walk/run training for the Princess 1/2 in Feb '11.

It's 1289.63 miles to The World for me and I've done 38.62 miles in training so far.

This is a great thread! I do a combo of running, walking, elliptical. I'm trying to lose the weight I gained during pregnancy...I can't really call it baby weight anymore since my youngest is 2! I need to lose at least 20 pounds, but to get to my goal weight I need to lose 35.

Ok, since I managed to walk 5.5 miles yesterday, that is where I will start.

My goal is to get to 400 miles before I head to Disney in March!

5.5/1150

 

[Princess Janay]

Its a great start! Babysteps first. Tomorrow Morning It all begins.

Welcome to all the new people and to the people restarting out!

Well, I was looking back to the last time I posted milage, recovering from a minor ankle injury, and it did just great after that, but then in November, my mom passed away, so that really got me off track.

My DH, DS and dear friend are running the WDW 1/2 Marathon and myself, my 2 DDs and some friends are doing the 5K. So I don't have much time, but I'm back trying to do what I can each day!

My I have 25 more miles to add, so now I'm at 347/1000.

Best wishes to everyone, one step at a time!

I would love to join. My jeans are a little snug (ok..really snug) and I am going to reward myself with a trip to Disney when I have walked to the Disney Wilderness Lodge. It is exactly 1,071 miles from my house to the Lodge, my home for one week each summer, and I can't wait to go home for another visit.

In fact... maybe I will buy/print myself an east coast map and put it on the wall in my room and start tracking my mileage on it... kind of like an AAA tripticket!! It would be a fun visual!

I love this idea! I have to start. As of day before yesterday I have started walking again and so far have gone 4.5 miles. So...


4.5/317

I posted on these boards until I quit training for the half marathons at WDW in January when we weren't able to compete as a family. My 2 daughters live in Hawaii and the oldest is not allowed to get leave at that time. She is an Army doc. She will be starting her fellowship in July of this year and may have an easier time scheduling when she really wants to take vacation.

I would like to both walk and ride to get my miles in. I have a bad neck which needs surgery. The surgery will be done in July which puts a stop to our doing the WDW marathon in 2012. It is my goal to get healthy and do the marathon again in 2013 (the 20th anniversary). I have the 15 year medal and would really like to get the 20th.

I am currently doing 45 min a day of cardio. Most of it is done on my bike attached to a trainer. I hope to go back to the gym tomorrow (slight problem with drivers license). So far I have been trying to only drive to and from work.

If I can use bike miles also, I would like to walk to Old Key West with all of you.
