    I've been awol for a few days...at my folks' house for a visit. I walked every day but one. That's a record for me. I usually wait until someone else wants to go with me and that seldom happens. This time I just went!

    I walked for 95 minutes this morning. I'm jumping up and down about the number of minutes...now. This morning was a different story. I was barely able to drag my sorry self back that last half mile. The temp was up to 96 degrees at 10:30 am. Way too dang hot. I'm aiming to get out earlier tomorrow!

    Mary - I just had time to read your post! Fantastic time! 90 mins is great!

    Walked 5K (or 3.1 miles) on the treadmill this morning, and I've shaved 30 seconds off my time from last month - whoo hoo!.

    Added 8 pounds over the past 2 days to bring my total to date to 60. Just 15 more to hit my goal - a lot better than I did last month! 5 days, means 3 miles a day minimum - I'm committed to make it happen! :happy:

    4.3 miles for me today and I'm PAST my goal! Also passed my real goal mid June of speeding up my walking but haven't really worked on that since. I did walk faster today but forgot to take my moby to record speed. Walked 3.5 miles in under 45 mins so faster than at beginning. Next month I'll work harder on my speed.
    Flausa you're as determined as ever! What an inspiration you are!
    Good luck on reaching your goal everyone!

    Missing in action on the weekend. Visited my mother in law
    in Northern Ontario. Did do some shopping which involved
    walking but didn't track it.


    25 min. walking at brisk pace today.

    This is continued from previous Walking Challenges, but its nice when each month has its own thread. :laugh:

    *** Anyone can join in at any time, the more the merrier, lets keep each other motivated****

    Walking seems like the easiest way to start getting exercise, and even if you can't track distance (or don't want to), tracking time is good too...go for a 10 min walk after dinner, or up it to 30 minutes, you'll be amazed at the end of the month how much more exercise your getting in. :)

    Check in everyday with how far you walked or how long, this is just to motivate us to get in at least some exercise everyday, and keep an eye on each other.

    Make a ticker and keep it in your signature to remind you of your goal, and show everyone how well your doing. Go to this website.

    http://www.tickerfactory.com/ezticker/ticker_designer.php?type=8

    Pick out your ticker pictures, set your miles or minutes, and your goal. Then copy all of the bbCode into your signature. :) It will look like this (but in your ticker...like mine) You use the url (from the bbCode) to update your ticker everyday (you can find this in your signature after you post the code there), just remember your pin.


    Example of Tracking Miles - 1 mile everyday

    Example of tracking Minutes - 30 min everyday

    I want to try to keep this mostly to walking or walking type exercising. treadmills and ellipticals are A-OK. :laugh:

    Hope to see some more faces in this challenge, we'll start tracking June 1st!

    :smile: :smile: Do you need help making a ticker? Look at this link for step by step directions. :smile:

    I just wanted to post these links again for the new comers :) Each one of these links is a mile walk. (or 12 min). With a total of 5 miles.

    So if you aren't able to make it outside, (Because its summer and its :explode: HOT :explode: or don't have much time...12 minutes isn't asking a lot lol) then check them out to get in a quick walk.

    I made my goal. Wasn't sure I could with Mom being in the hospital, but I ended up walking laps in the hospital to do it.

    Another 3.1 miles this morning. Saw the sunny skies, but couldn't myself out of the house at 6:30 this morning, so I bonded with my treadmill instead.
