    I want to join this challenge. Yesterday I walked 5km in our annual Mother's Day marathon. I finished in 52 minutes...not bad considering I have a bum foot (I broke it several years ago and it never did heal right). I want to start walking around the neighborhood with my new baby but need help on how to track distance. Can anyone recommend a good (and cheap) pedometer to get me started?

    Not as much as I wanted, but considering this time last year I wouldn't have gone walking in the cold and rain, I'll take my 3.9 miles.

    I logged 44 minutes on the treadmill today, no idea how many miles. I'd keep lowering the incline for my intervals and hitting it too many times so the machine would reset :grumble: thankfully I have my HRM or I'd have not idea what I burned.

    I didn't walk yesterday (:::hanging head in shame:::) as I got in late from court and dinner was delayed etc. etc. etc. and I was dissuaded with the "it's not safe to go out alone at this time of night" lecture. I made sure I was indoors and during daylight this time so no excuses!

    48 minutes on elliptical ( and then I had to run, yeah, I actually ran on the ground and fast, home due to severe thunderstorms with crazy lightening but I didn't count that part)
  • Walked 2 miles today! I'm feeling good about where I'm at with my miles challenge for this month. Happy walking everyone

    My goodness, It looks like I got lost.. I haven't been logging stuff here since I have been taking care of sick father who ended up in the hospital.. He is back home and I am back here.. I don't even remember how many miles i have done so far but I am sure not many.. Ok, its a new day today and I did circuit training for 43 min but no walking. I am going to start walking again from tomorrow ...

    I been having knee and back problems so lets see how many miles i get in...:-)

    My body waged war on me today and prevented me from doing much of anything. I think I've been pushing too hard for too long and it finally caught up with me. I still have 10 out of 12 days so for me that is still an amazing accomplishment. I am disappointed that I won't walk today, however I know that this is what my body needs and if I don't listen I will end up confined to bed for far longer than one day.

    Tomorrow is another chance and I hope to be fully prepared to do something excellent with it!
    Hope everyone had an amazing day and surpassed all your dreams and goals!
