Walking to Disney Challenge

[DisneyWorld Delight]

I love this idea!

198 days to walk 928.81 miles. Ohio to the Beach Club. Oh the exhaustion!

 

[Mom2Ashli]

Well I can add another 26 miles on to my list. Over the 4 days that I was at WDW this past week I logged 26 miles on my pedometer. But I ate so much I feel like I need to walk another 26 just to get rid of what I ate.

Hi!

I just found this thread and I'd love to try it. I couldn't get the address for POP to work, so I am just using the WDWResort as my destination. It's 970.13 miles and I've got 132 days to do it. I've been walking at the gym on the treadmill, but I'm going to have to step it up a bit.

Thanks for all the inspiration on this board. I'll be coming back between now and October for encouragement and inspiration. My goal is to be in a size 16 before October. I'm almost in an 18 now!

Well this is my first update in awhile.

I finally made it to the Colorado/Kansas state line. I still have a long way to go, but I'm getting there..........

How's everyone else doing?

I've been unmotivated this weekend because my allergies have been so bad. You're going to catch me! Maybe my motivation can be to not let you catch me I'm around Fredericksburg, VA right now.

Alright I am starting my walk to Pop Century today....We were just able to make arrangements to go so, that leaves me not much time. I have until 11/27 to walk 1075 miles...gonna be quite a bit but, It would feel so good to actually do it...and I will. This is such a cool idea....see ya'll there!!!!

Hi~

Hoping I can join this challenge. I have just started exercising/walking again and it's very hard for me to stay motivated. But anything to do with Disney....that keeps me motivated! I will be wlking from central Wisconsin to the Beach Club Villas ~ a total of 1396 miles. I am starting out slow, walking 1.5 miles/day. So far I have 3 miles in! BTW, does anyone have a tracking spreadsheet they can share?

Just checked my progress, and I am at 427.64/992, which is about 43% of the way there!

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

I have let such a long time elapse without adding up all I have done.

All my efforts thus far give me 369.3/1047.3 leaving me 678.2.

I wonder where I am?


It feels so good to be marking my progress!

Well, I made it to Virginia...it's taken me 3 months to walk 151.85 miles. Currently "I'm on 495 approaching the merge with 95 & 395". If I make a left turn ahead I'll be on 95 and heading due south towards FLORIDA.

This week was low for miles due to the high heat and humidity for early June. Plus I just didn't find time to get in any "extra" walking over lunch or in the evening. The 10 miles I logged this week were just that of the small amount of walking I do regularly during working hours and some shopping at Target and the grocery store.

Tomorrow I will begin tracking my steps as well for the Walking Works program that was started at work. It's just a group of employees who want to walk for wellness, and the challenge is individual to do your personal best and equal or better it each of the 12 weeks. The program is sponsored by our health insurance provider - Blue Cross/Blue Shield.

iNTeNSeBLue98, I notice that I've posted after you a couple of times. You seem to keep me on track, lol!

Time to catch up! I've walked 198.52 km (122.2 miles) so far. I can see the Ambassador Bridge at Windsor. I'm stopping for some food and cold water, though, at the Timmy's across the street. iiNTeNSeBLue98, I'm with you when you talk about the heat. WHEW!

 

[plutosmyfav]

Hi all,

Yep the heat is here, too. 92 deg F today.

I'm getting close to the 400 mile mark Time to update my map. I should be in Virginia by now!

Stay cool everyone

Am going to be going to Disney in a few days so I can check the milage then
since I am driving down. I believe its in the 90s, but I guess that all depends on where I measure to. Since most of the times I go, I stay at Port Orleans Riverside, I will use that. Definitely will let you all know if I decide to do this and how far. It looks as if there is some good support and I need that (sometimes more than I KNOW!) So, when next weekend comes, I will come back and have a goal in mind for weight too! I miss my old clothes. Thanks to Chrismiss56 for reply back and telling me where to find this info!

 

[keenercam]

I am at 429/992 -- almost half way there! Am going to have to kick up the recumbent bike workouts to pump up the miles!

 

[agotta]

I am going to start tomorrow. I will put on my pedometer and go! It is 874.42 miles from Fairfax, VA to the BWV.

 

[donac]

I am now at 380 miles. I am somewhere in Virginia, closing in on the NOrth Carolina border. I am about 60 days out. I may be able to do it before we leave.

I've completed my 15th week of walking on 6/18. Point 16 on my map is at mile 168.91, on I95 just south of exit 161 and Route 611, near Woodbridge in Virginia. I'm hoping I can make it beyond Fredericksburg this week.

Last week the Walking Works program started at work. I've begun logging my steps as well as my miles for this program. I wear my pedometer all day M-F now, but only when I go outdoors on the weekends. My steps last week added up to 36,193 in 6 days.
