    I am in, this is a motivating challenge. My goal is 10,000 steps each day ( walk 6 days & 1 rest day a week). I've been doing really well so far, have been consistent for about four months.

    I wear the 5 lb wrist weights as well. After a 4 mile walk you feel sooooooooo good about your accomplishment.

    Hitting the road tonight for 3 miles. The past two times I have cut 2 minuets off of my time, and increased my pace substantially. Also the 1/2 mile hill I walk up in the beginning is so much easier.
