Walking to Disney Challenge #2

[heimlichfan]

What a fun motivational idea!

Count me in at 1201 miles. I will be starting this week - I was starting a walking thing with a friend anyways, but get this: SHE'S NEVER BEEN TO DL OR WDW!!!! We keep talking about going and this would be the perfect reason to do it - when we're done walking, we get to go!

Hello bigolive9 and heimlichfan

I wear a pedometer. 1 miles = about 2000 steps, depending on the length of your stride. If you don't have a pedometer you can convert time to miles. I did this before I got my pedometer. I knew a certain point was 1/2 mile from home. When I reached it I clocked the time at 10 minutes, so 1 miles = 20 minutes.

iNTeNSeBLue98, do you have good luck with your pedometer? I have had several, and they: quit for no apparent reason, or fall off of my waist. I only count the "extra" walking jor exercising (Curves counts as 2 miles). Should I be counting all of my steps??

I have walked 8.67 so I am.....

8.67/1036.25

I have to double that weekly total to finish by next year

I've had mine since April last year. It's pretty basic - miles and steps displays. I've noticed certain garments do not give as accurate a read. The best I've found is clipping to the waistband of my undergarments.

Jennifer can I move in with you... I like your mileage better I promise I will clean up after myself

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

I got in another 4 miles so now I am at 11/1260. I think I need to get myself a pedometer, so far the miles I'm logging are my dedicated walking miles. I would get there so much quicker if I logged the miles I walk just doing regular activites lol. Hmmm my birthday is next week that may be an idea on something for DD and DH to get me.

Okay, I am going to try this. I only have 684.13 miles, but maybe my goal could be seeing how many times I can "walk" there before I actually go again. Either way, it seems like a fun way to give some purpose to all the walking, which can get boring.

 

[disneyfanz04]

OK, walked another 1.25 miles today. So that makes me 2.75/1013...boy have I got a long way to go. That's ok though you know what they say...
Slow and steady win the race!!

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

Yesterday was a beautiful day here, finally, it was 54 and sunny! We have hardly seen the sun here in the last 20 days so I just had to get out there and walk. I got in 3 miles so I am now at 14/1260

Counting steps

I was trying to update my numbers every day, but that has now changed to weekly

Getting in vacation packing mode now , so not walking as much...Planning on walking on the shippy poo though

 

[GorshGoofy]

For the past 2 days I've awakened at 5:45 to walk 2 miles. I've also come home to do crunches and lift hand weights. I feel so much better after doing that. What a difference!! I have to work to make this a habit but I like the way it makes me feel and am excited about this new pattern. It also helps to know that there's a cute little brunette (who lives 130 miles away ) who will be doing the same thing. But that's another story!

Count me in! I would have to walk 1219 miles to get me to WDW for my cruise in September....however no official training until 1/14- got to give my knee time to recover from the half marathon. However, I think I will wear my pedometer at work tomorrow.

 

[r3ngels]

Okay here are my totals...

18.15/1036.25

 

[iNTeNSeBLue98]

I'm at 22.88/590.00 and I can't wait for warm, sunny weater and longer days that will enable me to add up to two extra miles per day.

I am slowly making progress, but have been exercising more at Curves than walking.
