Walking to Disney Challenge #2

[DisDee]

Adding 2 more miles to my total!

I just did the math...

It's 2,542.47 miles from our house to WDW.

We leave in 236 days.

That's 10.76 miles per day!

If I counted all my steps and not just exercise walking, could I do it?

And what good pedometers does anyone reccommend?

Thanks!

Wow -- you have a long way to go. I think it is possible to walk 10 miles a day if you count your all day total plus exercise. But whew -- glad I live where I do. I bought an el cheapie at walmart and it does pretty good. If I run it messes up. I checked it by driving the distance of my walk and it was pretty accurate with my car- - note, however, that if you push a stroller, run or change pace -- it will not be accurate. I have since, however, become addicted to the treadmill. Easier on the knees for running.

BTW, 17.5 miles this week -- big gain -- running entire 4.5 miles without stopping. Whoo Hooo!!

I think you're taking the long way from TN to WDW! It's just about 1000 miles one way from southeastern PA to WDW. Even a roundtrip to Florida shouldn't be over 2000 miles. Or, are you planning a trip to DISNEYLAND in California?

in any case, good luck with reaching your goal.

We live in los angeles!

Maybe I should "walk to disneyland" instead.

10.5/1028. My new pedometer arrived in the mail yesterday. I'm going to set it when I walk at my local park which I know=1 mi. I'm really curious to see how much I walk on an average day.

I'll be breaking the 300 mile mark this week (Monday for sure). I'm at 298.52 for this year. That puts me under 300 , 291.49 miles to go....with 5 weeks left before our trip. I don't think I can average 8 miles a day - possible yes, probable no.

I am at 31.5/844. I need to step it up a notch. At least I'm on I-64 now!!!! Keep it up everyone!!!!

Last week, I had a slow week as far as my cardio is concerned. I only did 11 miles. But this week, I have been rejuvenated. I have already done 12 miles this week. That will bring my total to 138/545.

 

[disneyfanz04]

Got in another 19 miles this week....that puts me at 180/1013

Only 833 to go!!!!

woohoo...got in another 22.3 miles in. That makes me 202.3/1013....just 810.7 to go!!!!

 

[Zippa D Doodah]

I am at 112/ 630.7

 

[bubba73]

I was able to add another 17 miles for the rest of the week. That gives me 155/545.

Checking in after a long absence.

37/581

 

[goofyfreak]

I'm at 43.8/844. I really need to step it up. Any ideas to help me? I'm walking and trying to bike. That is not as easy as it used to be!!!

 

[bubba73]

I have got another 16.5 miles already this week. We are starting to move now. 171.5/545.

 

[NCRedding]

Walked some more this week.

42.5/581

 

[Villains_Rock]

I'm almost to the WV border!!! On days that I work I average around 7-8 miles a day including my morning jog. I'm working 9 more days this month...sooo...that will put me another 68 more miles south by the first of June!! My next trip to WDW is planned for October. I think I'll be able to do it!

Hi - I subbed to this list a while back and then kind of disappeared. Life got crazy. Anyway, now I'm way behind on my walking, but I've been keeping track and have logged 125 miles. I have 1,266 miles to go before Sept. 1st!! Yikes!!!! To force myself to get up and moving, and to earn extra fun money for our trip, I went out and got 4 paper routes! So now I HAVE to walk every day - rain or shine - no excuses! The kids are going to help this summer, so we should all be in great shape for Disney World!! I figured that will also help us get shoes broken in and make sure we don't end up with blisters before we go, too!!

Newspaper route -- that is a great idea for getting in shape and earning extra $$. I did one in law school but I had to use my car because the delivery area was very long. I was feeling bad about how far I have to walk until I saw that you have over 1200 to go (almost makes you want to move closer to the Mouse).

I need to step it up myself -- 108 down too many to go, I have not even made it to Nashville yet. We are going to Hatteras next month so I am hoping to get in alot of walking on the beach. BTW -- shouldn't we get double miles if we are carrying a 3 year old?
