    That's awesome! I'm on week 5 day 3. Just did my first 5K at the Turkey Trot and ran walked with a 41:13 time. I was so happy with that! And I can't wait to do more! And like you I hope to do the 10K program too.

    Alrighty! I am going to attempt to add you guys to my group "All WALKS of Life" looks like it will be much easier to interact there- go ahead and join in, it'll be easier if you beat me to it!

    Please count me in, I'm walking whenever I can, I suffer from knee and ankle problems (after many years of repetitive injuries) which always flare in the colder months so this year i've been trying to strengthen them up by walking and using a static bike when I can which also helps keep them flexible.

    I would like to be in this challenge. My goal is to walk 30 minutes a day for thirty days. If I go over 30 minutes good, if I do less, make it up later. But ideally I want to walk at least 30 minutes a day for at least 26 of the 30 days. Good luck everyone!!!

    I'm in! I am aiming for at least 65,000 steps per week. I was up over 80 K in the summer, but I've fallen back to about 50 K a week the last while so this will get me moving a little more every day.

    I walked for one hour, don't know the mileage but my goal is met for today, because it is to walk at least 30 minutes a day (for thirty days). So, yay!

    I almost didn't get my goal of walking in today and that would've had ruined my whole day! I feel so much lighter and good that I nailed day 1!

    I'd like to join. I'm making a goal of getting 4,000 steps every day, with 5,000 steps at least 3 days a week. I usually average around 3,000 steps a day, so this is still upping my steps. Today I was able to get over 5,000 steps.
