Walking to Disney Challenge #2

[DreamBeliever]

Hi Wendy,

I'm glad I found this challenge. What fun!

I recently started a walking program for exercise to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle. My goal and reward is participating in the Race for the Taste (RFFT) at WDW in October with my DD. It will be an interesting challenge to see if I can walk the 1200 miles (distance from my house to CBR) before I go to RFFT.

Have a great day

Hope it's not too late for a 16 year old to join. I find myself the daughter of a mom who is running the half in '08. I had originally planned to do it with her, but began to get intimidated by the amount of training required, and opted out. However, I do walk a lot. I walk home from school, and also sometimes will leash up my dog and go walk up to the park right by my house. Of course, it does help that my boyfriend's lacrosse team practices there....But hey, this will give me a legitimate excuse to walk by. So I guess count me in. I'll be walking to Animal Kingdom Lodge, a total of 624 miles. Lacrosse boys here I come...er, I mean, healthiness here I come!!!

Its 1080.82 miles to Pop Century resort from my house. I figure if we're leaving in September, I've got to walk....216 miles a month, 54 miles a week, or (roughly) 8 miles a day to make it "there" by the time we check in. yikes!
I'll do my best, though!

DH and I are going to start this today, April 8th, however i'm going to walk and DH is going to run.

Today i'm going to start with 2.5 miles. We just got back from WDW, but i'd like to be able to walk the distance between now and my next trip in June '08.

Good luck to everyone to reach their goals!

This sounds like fun! I plan to check in once a week. I've still got to check the mileage from my house to the Pop. I'm going this November but I think my goal will be to walk there before my Dec. 08 trip.

Just bumping up -

I've gone 11.5 miles in 8 days and hope to do 2 more miles today.

6/624 miles!! Just got off the treadmill, trying to rack up mileage there since I'm too cold to go outside.

 

[Ricky's Girl]

WooHOOOO! I'm on my way.
6.5 miles down . . . 1161.5 to go!

 

[Bareacuda]

This sounds like a blast!
Ok... we're doing Disneyland by November! That's 298.82 miles. Starting tomorrow morning!

 

[tbstein]

Adding on 6 more miles. I should be there sometime next year!

What a great way to get motivated to just get out and walk! My home to Animal Kingdom Lodge 1000.92 miles! We are going back in August...I think that goal would be too aggressive...I will shoot for exactly one year from today...that would be around a 20 mile a week average. I think I can...I think I can...I think I can...

Sooooo...can anyone recommend a decent but not too expensive pedometer?

Unt now is the time when I must update my sig...

 

[Hillbeans]

2 weeks down, 22 miles done!!

 

[Ricky's Girl]

I'm adding another 3.5 miles to my total. Oh my, is that Cinderella's Castle I see off in the distance?

 

[Bareacuda]

Did 4 miles on Wednesday and 2 more today.

I think it's easier for me to do a weekly check in.
Last week a grand total if 21.6 miles and this week 25.0 miles.
If I added the miles I paddled (outrigger canoes) with the team for last week it would be 15.5
and this week would be 36.4 miles a grand total of 98.5 miles.

Only 185.85 miles to Disneyland.

I am getting there! Since we are thinking about really going in December I want to be able to really walk there! So, I think I shall up my daily mile and half to about 2 miles or more. WDW, here we come!
