    5 mile advanced walk with Leslie today.

    97 miles with Leslie to date

    48 miles outside to date

    145 miles total to date

    goal 100 ...yeah met my goal!

    I didn't get much walking in yesterday, we were demolishing a huge deck but my steps were high, 23000 on sunday and 13400 yesterday, so if you count the miles it was a lot. yesterday it said 6 miles and sunday it said 11, but I am not adding those in my miles walked. so glad that is done, now to build a new one!

    everyone is doing so good! I see a lot of goal breakers coming!!!

    Hello fellow walkers! I had no idea there was a group on here and I am thrilled to join in. Last week I celebrated 200 miles walking. I combine my Leslie DVDs with walking outside. Weather permitting I power walk 4 miles minimum at sunrise. When kept inside I use my DVDs. For mothers day my son gifted me the 30 Day Walk off collection and I love it. May is about over but I commit to walking 20 miles.

    Hi Startergal53- Endomondo is an app for iPhone that I downloaded to my iPad to track my walks and mountain hikes with GPS. I use the free version so it tells me my miles and time per mile each mile. It keeps me on pace since I do not have Leslie's "beats per minute" to go by.:wink: I am trying to challenge myself to do one more mile each time when I walk the neighborhood and having a voice in my backpack say "One mile in 14 minutes 2 seconds" is very motivating! It is a good basic app for walkers and hikers who carry their iPhone, iPad, iPad mini etc with them on their hikes/walks. As an added bonus, it also tells you your calorie burn although it is always higher than MFP so I am guessing it is inflated a bit. :ohwell: Try it for your outdoor walks and see if you like it. :smile: Brenda

    Welcome PinkyPan1, It delights me to no end to find a new walker when we are nearing the end of a month. I am so happy that you didn't wait till next month, but are jumping right in and making goals for the last several days remaining. That rocks big time the way I see it :drinker:

    Great way to walk the miles combining indoor and outdoor miles. There are many ways to get our walk on :smile: .

    zichab, thanks for sharing this information with us. I'm still in the "dumb" flip phone era instead of those lovely "smart" or i Phones :tongue: . I keep telling my daughter that I'm getting closer than ever to switching :laugh: . That app sounds amazing and sure is tipping the scale a bit more.

    5 mile advanced walk with Leslie today.

    102 miles with Leslie to date

    48 miles outside to date

    150 miles total to date

    goal 100 ...yeah met my goal! I really wanted to get 100 miles in alone with Leslie and have now done that, outside miles are a bonus for me.

    crappy weather here this week, not sure how much outside walking we will get done for the rest of the month.

    Everyone is doing so great! we have a nice team of walkers!

    Thank you for the wonderful welcome. Put me down for 3.5 miles for today. I had my days of the week a little mixed up today and only managed a few miles. Tomorrow is another day.
