    Oct 2: I walked 4.2 km (2.5 miles) today. Total 5.75 miles. Another beautiful fall day.
    Oct 3: No walk
    Oct 4: I walked 5.4 km (3.25 miles) today. Total 9.00 miles. Such a great evening.

    Happy walking, all. :flowerforyou:

    Hi everyone! My name is Denise. I walked 45 minutes today. About 2.5 miles. My goal is to do at least 3 miles everyday. I really want to build up my resistance to be able to run everyday. Right now I can only jog for about a minute and thirty seconds at a time and I'm totally out of breath. :( at least it's more than when I started I guess.

    All I do is walk so I would love to join. I actually use a app called RunKeeper! I love this app. Last months goal was 50 miles and I missed it by 2. So for October I will go for 60 miles!

    I also spent time making up the Nordic walker I had purchased for when I can't get out in the winter. It was an exercise session in problem solving, but got there in the end. I will let you know if it is any good.

    I used the walker in 10 minute slots yesterday and today as I have not had time to get out a decent walk. Really enjoying it although I do not believe the calorie count.
