      I am up for this challenge, but have some questions.

      I do this twice a day, to walk the kids back and forth to school.
      I use runtastic and each time it registers about 1.79 mi....this is miles right?
      Takes me about 15 mins (15 mins in the morning and another 15 mins after school)
      Does it only count if its done together?
      I mean like at the end of the day I have walked that twice in the course of walking the kids back and forth and then I lalso power walk at night with my son, so its kind of broken up (this would be an additional 15 mins).
      If I could put it all together I would be walking quite a few miles a day.
      I'm not sure how this stuff works as i am new to this fitness and weight loss stuff.
      Trying to drop about 20 pounds or so....left over baby weight from the kids :-D

      I think it does not matter when you get your mile in as long as you do it.
      Today was a 3 mile day. I use a fitbit to measure my mileage.

      @Tracilea - my understanding is that this challenge is informal and specific to each of us. I am going to run or walk for at LEAST one mile a day and I am going to post each day once it is done!

      What I like about challenges is the accountability... so if I do not post then someone can call me out and motivate me! :)

      I am already ready for Day 3 tomorrow! Woo Hoo!

      I didn't do my mile yesterday :(

      But I'm back on it today. I need to burn at least 169 calories to meet my goal today. That's at least 2 miles :) I'll report when I'm done
