We had a 60+ degree yesterday so I took each of the dogs for a short walk - to re-introduce us to outdoor walking without overdoing it. I'm at 36.98/590 for this challenge, 470/1023.1 of the total distance.

I am going to join the Walking to Disney2 challenge also. We are going to OKW for our 3rd annual Xmas trip in Dec. It is 1254.5 miles from home. I will only use walking and wogging miles as I am training to do a 15K and 2 half marathons before then.

You guys look like your having so much fun at this, I think Ill try it!

Count me in.......... My miles are 1161 from Long Island to WDW.

So far this year, I have hit the TM (not counting curves) 10 times (doing the january exercise thread) and each time, I have done 3.25 miles....
I guess I will have to get a pedometer?

Is that how this is done? you count steps you have taken daily?

Once summer comes, my restaurant gets real busy! Thats when all the steps will come in!

So far, I am 30 miles plus my quarter left over each time ? ummmmmm....

Ummmm....... not good at the math but 4 of those quarters would make another mile huh? right?
another 2 and a half?

I think I got it!


I am 32.5/1161...........................

Guess I am off to try and figure out how to get the clip art!
Ill check in weekly................................

please let me know if I can use a pedomete3r to count daily steps.. thanks

Hi wiskband. It nice to see so many new "faces" in this year's WTD Challenge.

Yes, absolutely, you may use a pedometer. For who don't have a pedometer, the conversion is about 20 minutes = 1 miles. or 2000 steps = 1 mile. Take a look at my post on 1/17/06, #53, for other conversions.

Congratulations (everyone) on a great start to the challenge!

All right, SIGN ME UP! I have to figure out the milage from my house and add up what I've done since I started. (I hate math) Any way, my WISH buddy P2oh is doing this too, so, here I go. I'll let you know where I am location wise probably tomorrow.

1038 miles is the distance to WDW. Get me to that castle!

So, for today I'm 6/1038

 

[taeja71]

Here's my combined totals EXcluding the milge I posted earlier so far. 114 miles. I made it out of the garage and then some.

So, how often should I post my milage? Any suggestions?

Okay!

We're taking the challenge!
From NJ to the world 1051.12 miles in time for our Fall trip! It will be DH and I (he doesn't know it yet ) We may have to split the miles, as this is a BIG step for us!!!

Thanks in advance for the encouragement

Many happy miles to all... ONE step at a time!

I've probably passed at least 20 Mc Donald's already and am due to run into another one. I know I passed a Flying J gas staion as well. If I got the munchies, I probably have gagged at the junk food in the gas station and went for a juice and maybe peanuts (some thing some what nutritious.).

I Just finished walking, stepping and kickboxing. a total of 120 min.

My total milage so far, 180 miles.

((((Does any one know, if there any way to calculate (location wise) where I would be today if I were really traveling to WDW?)))))

Comgrats on your walking. I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps go into Map Quest from your starting poing and back into the miles from the directions they give you... you know, should they say you'll be on route 95 for 600 miles and you've walked 100 of those miles... you'll still be on 95. Then look on the map for where you'll be.

I'm sure there's something out there somewhere, but that's the only process I could come up with. Good Luck!

There is a link on the page for directions how to use the map and plot your progress. I haven't used it, so if anyone has any insight or tips please post.

I use Microsoft Streets and Trips and add a stop weekly to the "driving directions" to my destination. I measure the distance I've covered each week and add it as a "stop".

I'm lucky. I'm travelling straight down I-75 from Ontario, Canada. Dave Hunter has a book....Along I-75, with all the stops, conveniences, speed traps (for those walking REALLY fast ) etc. in it! It goes from the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit to the Florida border. NOW he has a new book with all of the Florida routes on it. I haven't seen it, and I have a while to get it, since I'm in Ohio right now. Every time that I check in here, I mark my mileage in my Along I-75 book and see what I can do where I am stopped. I'll be checking in this weekend again. Go, go, go! We CAN do it!
