    I'm in! I'm just recovering from the flu so I can't start today but my target is 70,000 per week. I'd love to do 10,000 per day but with a 1 yr old, 3yr old and a desk job it's tough. I have to be more of a weekend warrior. Before I got ill I did 26 miles in 5 days!

    I'm in! My goal is to walk 50 miles total this month. Not sure if it'll happen, but it seems like a good number. Hit 2.69 miles today! Hope no one minds if I keep track in this thread?

    10/1 - 2.69 miles

    Goal: 50 miles
    Total: 2.69 miles
    Remaining: 47.31 miles

    I'm in again. Still having troubles with my ankles and feet but even a little is good. My ongoing goal is 30 minutes of exercise a day. Good for us.

    I'll join as well. I've lost my motivation for exercise and am being bogged down by other stresses. Walking seems like a good way to combat both of these.

    Hi, my first day here. I've been walking since January 2015. I do the Leslie Sansone walking workouts as certain health issues prevent me from high impact. I walk 6 days/week.
    10/1- 6 miles

    My goal was 60 - 90 minutes of brisk walking at least six days a week. I logged 61 minutes this morning (in the drizzle)!

    My goal is to average over 13,000 steps a day


    :) I carry my Omron pedometer with me all the time so this is all my walking for each day.


    1056287i3zmwzup2m.gif I walk my dogs, so every day is a walking day for me.

    Dark nights indeed, we are sort of out in the woods and I've had to use a headlamp a few times when I didn't get a walk in until after dinner.

    Slow start, but it is a start at least. Had to force myself to get in my 30 minutes. But I did it at least. These goals really help me.

    Good luck to everyone.

    I am trying to finish work bang on 5.15 so I can go straight out and get back before it's completely dark
