Just sort of jumping in here, but I am an avid walker. *cheer*
Got in a 2 mile walk during lunch at work today. Such a beautiful October day, I just can't get enough. Would have kept walking if it weren't for work.0 -

Today was the day to get back on the horse. A party on Saturday, football on Sunday and Monday was a grocery day. It's rare for me to go three days without getting any real walking in, so I was ready to go today. Ended up a shade over 9 miles.

Well, I'm knackered! Just drove myself home from SFO to Sonoma County. Getting to & from Reagan DCA sure was more convenient. Walked 14450 steps, about 6.8 miles.
Blackdawn: I went to the postal museum in DC this a.m. specifically to see this dog Owney who travelled all over the country on mail trains in the 1880/1890s. I think he's our spirit animal! Hahaha

Our weekend in Seattle was great fun but I didn't get to walk as much as I wanted because we had so many friends to see. I ate fairly smart at restaurants (kept portions small but ate some things I don't normally eat (bread, mayo, cheese, tortillas).
I carry my Omron pedometer with me all the time so this is all my walking for each day.
I walk my dogs, so every day is a walking day for me.

That's awesome. Thanks for sharing it. I love history like that.
Reminds me of Red Dog in, Dampier W.A. my dad told me of.
There was this one-eyed red dog that rode the bus transit daily along with the other passengers and would get on and off just like everyone else.
Until one day there was a new bus driver and the driver wouldn't let the dog on board, passengers got mad and would no longer take the bus cause the dog wasn't allowed.
Turned into a big issue and then finally the dog was fully allowed to ride any bus so everything else could go back to normal operation.
History was my highest score. Love traveling and history.0 -
That's great! History is fascinating! My husband is a historian for the national park service.0

3.5 Average MPH
5.5 Max MPH

Still need some more training and exercising with my feet. Right foot was wanting to burn and could feel the bones hurting during THAT walk. Better after relaxing in a bath and stretching the foot.
Gonna have the deformity my entire life. So I'm not gonna let it stop me from walking. Best to deal with the pain and keep on moving.

You are amazing blackdawn! True grit!
I couldn't get my engine to turn over today... jet lag. Watched Fargo on xfinity when I should have been walking :-(
I'm at 8066 steps, 3.4 mi. Took a leisurely stroll to buy wine before dining with another mom in my neighborhood. Middle school daughter just informed me we still need to buy a class snack at Safeway, so if I park in the furthest corner of the lot & do about three laps through the store I just might make 10k. Hahahaha... moms going wild!!!0 -

October 9th: 1.6 miles, 35 mins
October 10th: 0.9 miles, throughout the day
October 11th: 0.9 miles, throughout the day
October 12th: 1.7 miles, 1.5 of it in 30 minutes
October 13th: 0.3 miles, bleh
October 14th: 5.1 miles, 4 of it in 90 minites
October 15th: 0.5 miles, previous day wore me out
October 16th: 1.1 miles, busy errand day
October 17th: 2.6 miles, went to the Renaissance Festival
October 18th: 0.5 miles
October 19th: 0.7 miles
October 20th: 0.7 miles
October 21st: 1 mile
So it seems the app I use on my phone hasn't been accurate. I've actually been walking almost double what it calculated. I'm going to pair it with another app that I know is accurate until I get it to match up. I should be getting a FitBit next month for my birthday, but that's not until the end of the month. The apps will have to due for now.0 -
That's a bummer. Glad you discovered the discrepancy!0

Crap! So I had good intentions of starting this...and just didn't. I am starting tonight.
Has anyone lost any weight from doing this challenge for almost a month now? I don't have much to lose, and I'm going to incorporate some other workouts with this as well. I just need to move for the time being.
Feel free to friend me as well.0 -
Yes, I walk & have lost a pound a week over 10 weeks. But early on I saw I already walked 10k steps a day so I had to bump it up a little to 100k a week to create a deficit. I take different kinds of walks thru the week: fast neighborhood walks, hill climbs, and hikes. I also do some body weight exercises.

I've not been successful at flipping the script and going out after work but that just means now most of my walks are going to be done at night now. No problems tonight as there was no wind to speak of and very clear skies. It was perfect for stargazing. Getting quite a bit chillier, though, so I will need to bundle up more. Ended up with 9.3 miles tonight.jumpybeans wrote: »Crap! So I had good intentions of starting this...and just didn't.

My weight has been yo-yo'ing around the 180 mark for quite some time now, so I haven't noticed much of a difference. I have been in maintenance mode, however, so I don't really expect my weight to change much.0 -
Just joining in late in the month. I love to walk and so does my pup. Have been averaging 4 1/2 ish miles a day at a brisk pace. Really want to keep going as the weather gets cooler. Had to wear a jacket for the first time this morning. Was a chilly 35° here this morning0
