    Day 2, checking in... My crazy Yorkie took me for my 30 minute walk today. He's a super energetic little guy who walks so FAST. He gives me quite a workout, sheesh I think I need a nap now. :laugh:

    Day Two check-in ... another 45 minutes.
    I get a sticker on the calendar for every day I reach my goal of 45 minutes like a little kid.
    I need a visual of a month's worth of challenges met.
    Hey whatever works, eh?

    I would like to join this challenge! Exercise has been my nemesis. I I like to tell people that I was probably a rock in my past life. Combine that with some ongoing health complaints and you have a recipe for excuses. I have a few pounds I'd like to lose, but its the last few, so its sort of on the back burner...and I think I need to build my basic fitness level back up first. So I'm trying to get back to basics and commit to a walking program. My goals will be less than most of yours, but I need goals! I'm also going to do minutes rather than miles for March.

    I will have to drag hubby out for a nice long walk in the New Forest sometime soon. If only the weather would warm up a bit!

    This is awesome! Glad to see so many people checking in :D

    I got in the whole 2 hours yesterday.... I didn't end up doing my walk in the morning. So it was 2 hours last night. Part of me wonders if it was just orneriness that made me get through that 2nd hour....because my husband was already wanting to go in after the 1st...but he's the one who made me miss day 1...saying he would help me make it up on day two....so his punishment was to actually follow through with what he said! :laugh:

    So 2 hours in so far this month. :)

    I think hours have been much harder for me to do than miles, so we'll see how the month goes.

    Wow these are great - have never seen them. I'd found some of Leslies walks on the below link too - and they let you choose 1 mile 2 miles or 3 miles - without interruption. I made good use of them during the winter when snowed in.

    I am sucking on this challenge... I'm going to try to fix the problem today though... gonna do two miles at lunch... I need to get ahead of the game. Signing up for a 5k on Saturday though, that should help too!

    Thanks for the reminder NeuroticVirgo!! I completely forgot about the Challenge. I did a small walk on Tuesday and have been going nonstop since working on finals for my masters. Hopefully I make it through the rest of day with enough energy to do at least a short walk tonight when I get home otherwise I might have to just do it tomorrow. (I'm averaging 2 hours or less of sleep the last two nights.) But tonight is the last final for the week!

    Wow! Everyone is doing so great with their walking so far this month!!! I did 2.1 miles Tuesday (Wii Walk It Out) and 2 miles Wednesday (Walk Away the Pounds DVD). I have a question for those who do their walking outside - not using games/DVDs or treadmill that tracks your distance. How do you track how far you walk? I once had a pedometer but it was woefully inaccurate. As soon as the weather improves here in KY, I want to start doing my walking outside but want to keep up with my distances. Perhaps a more expensive pedometer? I guess I could always try driving my route and tracking it that way, but that does away with the freedom of taking a different path.

    I walk outside and thought it would be problematic to try to keep track of distance. I sometimes take a different route. That's why I use time instead of distance as my challenge.

    Hey everyone, really pleased to see you are all doing really well.

    I work 12 - 13 hour shifts so finding it really hard to do my walks as planned. Today was my day off and really enjoyed a walk in the country side. I am trying other things like not using the car and walking the 15 mins each way to the bus stop and I have banned my self from using the lifts at work, i'm on the 4th floor so hopefully this will increase my excercise for the day!

    Planning to do a 6 mile walk in Sherwood Forest on Saturday, really looking forward to it.

    Mel
