Walk around the world? Are you kidding me? No! 36,787.559 km is needed, I am sure we can all do our part to get there. If we are really determined....... we can do so much of that & not know. All you need is a app that will record your distance, a map to log to route ( virtual route though remember cause you are NOT really walking the world) and the drive to do it.

Who's in it with me? Come on. Walking, it's not hard. It needs only a pair of shoes...or even barefoot if you want. Treadmills are allowed, but NOT encouraged....unless you can't walk on the spot inside or go outdoors. OUTDOORS in some real sunshine & weather (yep even cold air is great) is more than welcome.

Come on, let's see who can get to it 1st? Record your distance here every day...end of the week add that all up, then add each week up together.

    This sounds like it would make an awesome group page!

    And sure, cold air is great...but freezing my butt off isn't. Minnesota winters aren't kind to walkers. XD

    It's 20 degrees here. I will if I can walk on the treadmill. I can't handle the cold.

    Anything counts. Running, jogging, walking, zombie shuffle...pmsl.

    As long as it's a movement forward... then it counts :)

    I use Endomondo Pro on my phone to log distance, my fitbit one also tracks my distance. MapMyWalk & MapMyRun do the same, as well as Zombies Run! that makes it just fun to do distance as well.
