in Motivation and Support
Me: I will walk 500 hundred miles...
You: And I will walk 500 hundred more
To be the people that walked a thousand miles and now fit through the door!
DA DA DA. DA DA DA. DA DA DA. DA DA. BUM DEDEE BUM DEE DEE DA BUM!

The challenge is most for beginner exercisers and we will walk 500 miles in six months! :D That's about 3 miles a day which isn't too shabby and we already have three people who are game! Anyone else? :D

    Good idea, count me in. A good pair of walking shoes is good for 400 miles.
    When I used to swim everyday, we had a swim to Hawaii deal and I made it all the way.

    It's just 500 miles. You can include whatever you normally walk or whatever :)

    And a ticker!

    Add a bracket before and after the word url and img and the /url and /img and it will work! The pin number is 500

    i finally figured out the ticker and picture... i must have had a bit of a brain failure yesterday! so... what date does our 6 months start on? also... just a suggestion. for extra inspiration, maybe we could do a before and after pic of the next 6 months each, or maybe progress pics? if people feel shy, we could wait until the end of the 500 miles and then post our pics to show the change. just taking the before pic might help improve our resolves to get walking to a fitter us?!

    I would be willing to do a before and after...sounds like great motivation and would be awesome to see the results oh what 500 miles and 6 months can do for you! :)
