    I want to join too! What a great idea.

    I am starting late, but my goal for the rest of the month is to walk 15miles. It is low, but I push 2 kids (over 60lbs) while walking, that should count for something!

    Today I walked 1.3 miles. 13.7 to go.

    You bet pushing two kids counts for something - it all helps. Welcome aboard - you should make your target for the month if you average 1 mile a day - sounds easy when you break it down like that doesn't it?? Keep pushing

    My challenge to myself was to walk 1800 minutes in May. Two weeks in and I have over 1000 minutes so far, which is good, but best of all - I'm really enjoying it!!!

    My legs were hurting all weekend (either from the dreadmill or Shred, not sure) so I stayed off the dreamill. I got in 70 minutes this morning.
    Sorry to hear you're sore again but glad to see you sticking to everything you challenged yourself with this month!

    Saturday I got my walking in browsing one of my favorite stores plus a whole bunch of other exercise. I wanted to walk yesterday but just didn't get to it and really didn't push myself with all the activity I had on Saturday. Today, I'm still procrastinating and now it's storming so I don't want to go outside to get to the gym. Hopefully it will pass quickly as it's going on 8pm. Today really hasn't been an emotionally good day. I'm tired, PMSsy, Cranky and full or carbs and sugars I didn't need to eat. I know I'll feel better if I get out and move. I just don't want lightening to be my motivation to walk faster :bigsmile:

    So the weather around here has been horrible - so much rain the past 2 months, I was hoping it was almost done when I set my goal. I had intention of getting out daily and walking our neighborhood daily. With all the rain and cold weather and cold symptoms, that has not happened yet this month. So at halfway through the month, I'm at 25 of goal of 100 miles - not too happy about this, so wanted to get there. No hope in site for this week (calling for rain until Saturday, one day break, then more rain - ugghhh!).

    Have you tried any of the 1 mile videos on youtube (posted on the 1st page very top) ? Those are a good way to get your walking in when stuck in doors because weather is being dumb!
