    I'm in!
    I usually walk about 4 miles 3 days a week, and the rest I walk 2. I'd love to have some more motivation. It's so hard to get off my couch sometimes after a long day at campus, lol

    I am in, but I have a question. I can't get outside to walk every day. It is still cold here, and I don't always have someone home to watch the 6 year old(who is too lazy to walk a mile). If I walked in place in the house, how long do you think would equal a mile? Or how many steps? I have a pedometer.

    Leslie Sansone has a walk at home dvd that I love. Basically you walk with her at your convenience and in your living room where you are safe, cool, warm, etc and if you have "on demand" with your cable (if you have cable) her 1, 2 and 3 mile can be found in the exercise/fitness section.

    I walk between 1.8 - 3.6 miles a day(monday - friday). As thats what it takes to get my son to school and back.It all depends if my other half is working or not.On days he is at work i need to do the journy twice (thus the 3.6 miles) if he is one mornings or afternoons then the journey is only once (thus 1.8) and if he is off i get a break.
    So i guess i would love to join, it will give me the motivation to take a walk on the days he is off and i dont have to walk, and also to walk the mile or more in the weekends

    today i have already walked 1.8 miles.
    and yesterday it was 1.8 miles plus i went to Glasgow (which was around another 2 miles or so walking around the shops if that couonts LOL)

    I think it is a great excercise, although i cant do more than 2-3 miles an hour (speed wise) as i take my son to school along with his wee brother , both are made to walk the distance (john is 6 and daniel is only 3- 4 in april) so it takes them a while

    I understand, and thats fine. I think after a while you will work up to a mile unless you have a medical condition that prevents you from walking and if you do DON'T DO IT! Otherwise, good luck! That half-mile will build up after a while!

    Everybody needs a break! That's why it's the mile a day challenge, but you don't have to walk a mile everyday. Good work, I can tell youre trying hard :wink:
