[tmfranlk]

Between some mall walking and the Science Center on Friday, I am up to 13.88/1025.

I just started and feel like a bum compared to the rest of you. I have 985 miles from my house to the Mouse. I've done 2 so far.

2/985

I only have 300! lol. So who's the bum now! lol.
I just made myself a chart to put on the fridge. Now, when am I going to start?

Hi what a good idea I'm also going to try, notice I said try. I also have a new tread mill and since Monday try to do 10 kms everyday. However I think I'll try a walk to Disneyland Paris as I live in France and thats already 600 kms from where I live if I try to walk to WDW I probably won't get there till 2012!! So I'll start with Disneyland and then work up!

Howdy all....

Well, no more recumbant bike for me. And no more treadmill either. The guy at the gym turned me on to a machine called an arc trainer. It's kind of like a stairstepper and treadmill combined (like the ad on tv) but you don't walk on a tread. Your feet stay on these pads and the pads move. But it feels like walking forward and up some stairs. Anyway.... cool machine and boy does it burn -- I can get to my target heart rate no problem with that thing.

Anyway... since I've last been on here, I've logged another 5.47 mi (1.85 each day two days on treadmill and 0.84 and 0.93 on the arc trainer). So I'm at 23.07 (out of my 260) miles.

wow, this is a great idea! I will join in. I have some treadmill miles logged already since the first, can I count those?

I think I am going to TRY to add one little twist to mine. I'm not going to DW again until at least Jan 2010, as that's the soonest I will be able to afford it, if even by then. So in a effort to try to save for Disney, I am going to set aside $1 for each mile I walk in my Disney envelope. Maybe then I will have even more motivation to walk more, more, and MORE!

I have 1387 miles to get to DW from Duluth, MN. this is going to be fun!

I justs did 3 miles, so that puts me at 15 for the year now.

Hi everyone! Its been a while since I checked in. I did not walk last week much since we got a new kitten! I got back in this week and now I am up to 19 miles since January 1st! I have not even made it to the airport in Philadelphia yet!

Where is everyone else in their Walk To The World? Maybe I will catch up to others who might be on 95!

Good for you!!!

I started on Monday, between the bike and treadmill I've done 24 miles.

Of course I live in Seattle and it's 3119 miles from my front door to the TTC so I'll be doing this forever! But it's something!

 

[Dianne6886]

Okay, I'm in...I have 1070 miles to go...ladies and gentlemen, start your treadmills!!!

 

[dvcfamily41801]

Morning everyone!
Today I tried something different on our treadmill. There is a "Weight Loss Workout" feature and you can select different programs and it will automatically change your speed and incline. It was 1/2 hour and I think the most was a 6.0 incline and 3.5 speed. Burned 204.7 calories! I checked the total miles on the treadmill and it is at 21 so it was another 2 miles!!!

Sounds like you got a really nice treadmill! I would love one that has all those fancy features.

I am up to 42 miles

I just found this thread and WOW what a great idea!!
If it's not too late, I'm already to join ya!
Not too sure about the miles, i'll get that figured out tonite and start counting them down tomorrow!

 

[SandraC]

WOW! I'm at 54 km already! I'm doing about 2-3 km per day and that really addes up!

Keep on walking everyone! Sandra

I just Googled the distance between me and WDW:

Distance between Orlando and Brussels is 4543.7 Miles
( 7312.4 Kilometers / 3945.7 Nautical Miles )

Holy cow!!!!! Just imagine how many shoes it will cost me before I have walked all the way to Orlando (technically, I should swim the largest part of that )
Don't have a threadmill, but I have a stationary bike. Hmmm... I might try to bike all the way to WDW in one year. That's a freaking 20 km a day... Make it at least 2 years, no way i'll be able to bike every day!

I was thinking about doing it to DLP since that's the park we'll be at next, but it got a little scary! Maybe I should do it from Brussels (where we're flying to) then to DLP

Hey guys. I'm finally back. I got another 14 miles in the last 3 days!!

That puts me at 21.5/1478.

I'm starting to feel stronger already.
