Walking to Disney Challenge

[iNTeNSeBLue98]

Great Work! Congrats on the additional kms.

I was feeling blah most of Saturday. I thought DD and I would go outside for a walk, but she had a friend sleep-over so I never made it. I'm thinking I will get out today, before the Nascar race come on. Treadmill is here, but being manual it requires more effort than an actual walk and getting somewhere.

I put in a mile, walking the dog. He's usually such a pain to walk, but I watched a dog-trainer on PBS yesterday and put some of his advice to work. He was much more pleasant today. I might try to take him again later this afternoon.

Not a good week for exercising or walking, but I am sitting at 19.2 km from home. Someone come along and boot me, please. I'm on break this week, Curves is further than that away (so the temptation not to go, could be great), but I should be out walking. Anyone heard the weather for southwestern Ontario? Fingers crossed that it will at least NOT be windy! Good luck, everyone.

OK Debbie, you asked for it here it is...your kick in the butt......I am almost in Toronto.

Where are you located, if I am close we can meet up and walk on together

How is everyone else doing????

I am going out for short walk as well this afternoon so I am getting closer to Toronto.

Have a good day!!!

Love this.

At 1330 miles, it will take me close to two years to get there at 2 miles a day. What a motivator to get me to increase my usual walk!

I'm at 0/1330, but I'll get to Timberline Drive yet!

Oh what will I do?? We may be bumping our trip up and there is NO way I can walk 2150 in a few months. I still wanna run my mileage and see how long it takes me to walk that far.

 

[iNTeNSeBLue98]

Go for it zoesmama03!

I timed the walk I took tonight at 30 minutes. That makes it 1.75 miles, meaning my mileage for yesterday was underestimated. I actually walked 3.5 miles on Sunday and added another 2.75 today.

 

[Hockeychic]

Hey everyone.
Added 2 kms last night. I was pretty tired so it was just a quick walk. I hope to make up some today. Short walk at lunch then DH and I will go for a longer one tonight.

Congrats everyone on keeping it up. I can't believe we have gotten to 4 pages.....wahooo.

Have a great day

Good morning, WTD (Walkin' to Disney) people! I managed a ½ hour walk yesterday and that puts me at 22.4 km. HEY! That's like my ½marathon, including the walk to and from my corral. lol It's taken me a whole lot longer than the 3 hours 41 minutes to do that, this time, though.

Now, I could have headed towards work, and I'd be there by now, but, since I'm headed south on the 401, I've just waved to the people on 402, heading towards Sarnia/Port Huron.

Hockeychic, you are moving much faster than me, so you'll probably catch up to me before you know it.

Oh, look at the pond! It's still pretty much frozen. You know, usually the Arctic Tundra Swans are coming home by now. I guess they don't like all the snow that we still have!

Have a good day, ladies. Keep walking!

 

[Hockeychic]

WTG Debbie!!!!

However, I did not walk yesterday...

However, I am joining a gym today and will get a 45 weight training in each week day since I am joining the one near my work.

How is everyone else doing????

Does anyone know if there is a way to get a clippie??? Who designs or approves these things????

Well gotta hit the showers.....have a great day everyone.

Ok...so Trout Point Lodge is 1886 miles from my house. MapQuest even took into account the ferry ride from Maine to Nova Scotia. At 15 miles per week, it will take me about 2.5 years to get there! But...that's just right for our 10th anniversary!

I am 7/1886 as of today.

Karen...have you been to TPL? It looks wonderful...reminds me a bit of VWL!

What a fun idea. I am 1114 miles away from WDW. I know I won't be able to get all the miles in before my next but I am going to see how far I can make it. I'm off to get on the treadmill now.

 

[keenercam]

Hi, everyone! Well, I am 151.2 miles into my journey -- it is 992 miles from my house to Disney's Old Key West Resort. So, I am 15% of the way there!

 

[Queenie]

Well I think it's official, I've got the longest distance to walk of all the WTD peeps so far! I've got to go..... 4271miles!!!! That is one long trip! I've divided it up into sections:

60 miles to Liverpool (edge of the UK)
195 miles to Dublin (near coast of Ireland)
315 miles to Shannon (far coast of Ireland)
2263 miles to the halfway point across the Atlantic Ocean!
4211 miles to Daytona Beach
4271 miles to our villa in Kissimme!

That walk across the Atlantic (3896) is going to be very boring, no state bounderies or anything to see! Any suggestions on keeping it fun? Oh well here goes!

 

[Hockeychic]

Welcome to all the new people....wow this is amazing.....

Congrats to all who are chugging along with me.

Keenercam 15% wow that is amazing.

Queenie....hummmm. Maybe you can look for different kinds of fish??? Maybe Nemo?????

Tae.....jump aboard with us.....

Gotta get back to work before the boss catches me on the computer....lol Have a great day!!!

It's 1332 miles to SSR. I've got 3.2 in this week. I'll be running/walking 3 days a week plus doing Curves for cross training twice a week. It'd be nice if I could get there by the marathon in January. It will be fun tosee how long it takes, though. Boy will I appreciate airplanes by then!

Oh My! How Adventurous! You could research the longitude/latitude and make check-points across the Atlantic.

I put in another 1.5 miles today.

Your welcome!!!!!

Having made the clippie I feel it is my duty to join the challenge I'm going to run to Disney

I went on mapquest and found the exact mileage from my front door to the Poly

I will be running 1325.88 miles. And when I get there, I really, really hope I can book a real trip. I had APs last year and managed 3 trips with the passes, but now I'm broke and don't see another trip happening for a loooong time.

I currently run about 15-20 miles per week. So I should arrive at the Poly around 78 weeks from now That's a year and a half. Oh my.

Maybe I will try to stash away $ for each mile so when I finally reach my goal I might have the money for the real trip.

This is exciting

Are we there yet?
