Walking to Disney Challenge

[perfectmatch300]

Thanks for the ideas, Vija! I'm going to walk to Disneyland! We only live about 50 miles from WDW, so I didn't think that was much of a challenge. We are planning a trip to Disneyland within the next year, though, to celebrate our 5th anniversary, so this will be great! I'm going to have to walk a lot to get there by Sept, but I think our trip will actually be after our actual anniversary anyway so I'll have some extra time to get there!

I'll start tomorrow & will include my walking, swimming, bike riding, and whatever else I come up with to do that can be translated into miles!

Hi, Vija and Nancy! Nice to have you along for the walk. I'm making progress. Walked right by that McDonalds on Tuesday, stopped for a rest on Wednesday and right on track yesterday. Here's hoping that I can gain an extra kilometre or two this weekend.

I'm three miles down 980 to go!! I'll have to figure out where I am on the map..I don't think I'm out of town yet though...ha!

Look at the bottom of my signature..I copied the clippie and it's not working...how do I get that?

Your url needs to start http://
Fix that and your image will display.

You have an extra ":" after http and missing one of the "/"

I think if you delete one of them, it should work.

I've looked up the mileage, it's 2465 miles from my house to Disneyland! Going to be a long walk! I'm sure I'll cross paths with some of you who are walking to WDW!
I bought a new pedometer today so I'll have a better idea of my mileage. My old one really wasn't working very well, so I bought a better one this time. I haven't tried it yet because I got it after today's exercise, but I'll try it over the weekend & see how it works.
I did get a good start on my trip today. I went 5 miles, so I have 2460 to go. I just have to keep on walking........

Under 1000 miles.

Well, I haven't lost any pounds or inches so far, but my leg muscles are certainly getting a workout.

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Well, started small only .2 of a mile, but hey, that much closer right?!! LOL! I know I will get going soon. I should wear a pedometer at work. does that count? As a nurse, I am sure I log on lots of miles!

I bought a pedometer earlier this week. I didn't realize how much walking I actually did at work...I sit in a chair behind a computer most of the day. Today I logged more than 2 miles, including the .8 outdoors over lunch.

Vija - .2 - you gotta start somewhere. Keep up the good work. It was tough for me to get started, but this thread keeps me motivated.

I doubt I will get much walking done this weekend with the forecasted rain. Maybe I will get on the treadmill, but I'd be lucky to go a mile or two in two days.

I ran 6 miles in freezing rain carrying an umbrella today! I discovered running with an umbrella isn't very fun But I'm just about to break 100 miles. Yeah!!!!

I've been seeing the Challenge icons in people's signatures, so I came to check it out! I'm going to give it a go- 1152 miles from here to the Polynesian!

4/979...Thanks for the clippie advice...It worked!

 

[perfectmatch300]

Between bike riding & walking, I have another 8 miles this weekend. I'm now at 13/2465 miles to Disneyland. Sure seems like it will take me a long time to get there, but with your support I know I can do it.

Had a great 5.2 mile walk/run Saturday in BEAUTIFUL weather! Adding that and my Thursday w/r, i'm over teh 30 mile mark! Woo hoo! 31.6/1332

I just broke 100!!!! Now I need to get the $$$ into my Disney fund Its adding up fast

 

[keenercam]

Hi, fellow travelers! I am now 280 miles along, with 712 to go -- about 28% of the way there. Have to figure out where that puts me on the map!

I just found this thread and I want to join! I've decided to walk to the Polynesian (where I REALLY want to stay but haven't been able to spend the $$). SO - my goal is to walk there and once I do book a stay! It's 1121 miles from my house to there!

 

[plutosmyfav]

oooh you gotta try this!

Go to maps.google.com and put in your destination address. Click the satellite link on the righthand side and see your Disney destination on a satellite image!!!! I'm heading for the Poly. You can then pan over the image and move around.

Can you find the Castle? Spaceship Earth? Oh this is just too much fun!!!!

I saw Intenseblue's clipart on another thread and thought this was a GREAT idea. I lost 40 pounds at the end of last summer, took a trip to WDW and got a little off track. I need to get back in the swing of things.

I calculated my mileage to Pop Century, 929.12
I can do it!
I'm thinking about saving $1 each time I do a mile too. That's almost enough for a trip to Pop with discount codes

How do I get the clipart and the cute little map that Intenseblue has? I'm so excited!

Welcome aboard Karen! Here is the clippie: http://livinglively.com/clipart/walkingtodisney.jpg

My map is from MS Streets and Trips on my computer. I copy the area and paste it to Photo Impression, then upload to my storage space on comcast.net to link it here.


Wow, great day for me. 3.63 miles and maybe more beacuase I don't think I was wearing the pedometer properly.
