    I would love to get in on this. Actually just started a new walking group with some of my friends today. Did a 1.3 mile walk today! What is the best app to track that will link to MFP?

    I use map my fitness to track my walks and runs

    This morning I walked outside as it was soooo nice -
    but not lasting long as it is going to be in the high 90's with wind gusts up to 45 mph .:sad:
    This morning I did 1 mile in 21 minutes. I am going to work on distance before I work on quickening the pace. When I walk with Leslie I work on pace.

    Walk, walk, walk all the way through May!!

    I'm ready to try this again. I didn't join last month because I hit a plateau and thought I had to find a different exercise to do. I spoke to a dietician in my nutritionist's office who is also a personal trainer.

    She gave me a different way to do my walks so I'm a happy camper right now.

    I've been sick for 2 weeks and I'm just now starting to feel better. I'm still tired, but not as bad as last week.

    Glad to see there are other walkers our there! I usually do 2-3 walks a week; I go for 45 minutes and generally hit 3 miles, or just under (sometimes over!). once or twice a week I supplement this with 45 minutes or so of swimming and water aerobics- I find the two go really well together. I do a lot of core work in the swimming pool, which makes my walks more efficient, and because of all the walking, my legs are getting much stronger in the pool; my form is improving, which means I'm working my core out more efficiently, etc.

    There is one specificly for walking MapMyWalk, I think it is the same company. They make MapMyRun, MapMyRide...
    The cool thing is it uploads to MFP!

    good luck, keep walking!

    Hi folks, starting late here but would like to play too. I joined MFP 8 days ago and have spent the first week finding my way around. Was totally sedentary before then. I had no idea what an appropriate exercise goal would be and originally said 20 min. per day. I don't really know how, or care to learn, to exercise; I don't mind walking though. The night before, I decide where I need to go and get the distance from google maps. Turns out I'm going 5 to 7 miles a day. The problem is a guy only needs so many haircuts or trips to the hardware store, so if I'm going to keep this up, I probably need to join your group.

    Here's the numbers so far.
    05/01 Don't remember.
    05/02 5.6 mi.
    05/03 .7 mi.
    05/04 was a Sun and, although I walk far, it's sorta work related and no way to measure time or distance.
    05/05 7.5 mi.
    05/06 7 mi.
    05/07 6.8 mi.
    Month to date 27.6

    100 miles in May seems reasonable and I see there are a couple other folks with goals in that neighborhood.
    Happy trails everybody.

    I am back, finally, I feel like I have been working for weeks. It has only been 5 days. I did not cardio walk at all. But, I do get plenty of steps in at work. I average about 11,000 each day. Today was 12366, that is 5.85 miles, so says my pedometer. I got a Fitbit for Moms Day. Still trying to figure it out. My goal for May it to get a min. of 30 minutes of exercise walking on my days off. And a total of 10,000 steps on my off days. Keep on trucking! (does anyone remember that?)

    Be Healthy and be strong.

    I didn't walk as such today. I tried to keep up with A.J. Who is a 4 yr old. We "marched in a band" and ran from "grizzley bears" and crawled on the floor. I was the elephant. Lol. I counted major motion at 33 minutes out of 65. I was red faced and wore out by the end of it.

    I'm in! :happy:
    I hate almost all forms of exercise, but I like walking - at the pace of a crippled snail, it must be said.

    3 May - 7km
    4 May - 7km
    5 May - 2km
    6 May - 10km
    7 May - 1km
    8 May - 0km
    Total so far - 27km

    Aim for May: 160 km (that'd be 100 miles!)

    It rained yesterday and I usually try to do two 15 min walks but had to do a 30 min walk all at once after the rain quit.

    EarthGril - That is a GREAT way to get some activity in!
