in Challenges
So tomorrow I'm starting a 500 mile walking challenge for the Autumn Season.

I try to walk 150 to 200 miles every month and I guess I'm just looking for some company now.

These can be indoor and/or outdoor miles. I try to do about half and half.

I also only count workout/exercise miles in my totals. I don't count miles that I would be taking anyways. But just do whatever makes you happy. :)

See you in the fall :)

    Cool! Just curious, do you do a lot of hiking, or walking around parks and what not?

    I really just walk around my part of the city for my outdoor miles. My main route is exactly 5 miles (doing two laps) and it takes about 80-85 minutes to complete. I have another more scenic route that's 3.5 miles but I only do that maybe once every couple of weeks. :)

    I would love to join you - my goal could be 500 miles between today and end of year (December 31). Is that what you mean? I am RABID about my distance! Let me know more about this - this sounds great!

    I'm trying to be done by the first day of winter (Dec 21st). So 90 days starting yesterday. But the end of the year is a fine goal and a great idea too. :)

    Not much to say really. I do indoor and outdoor miles. I always map the route I take outside using apps so I know close to the exact miles I've gone. My indoor miles come from various walking videos. I love to walk.

    I hope you join me and I support whatever ending date you choose. :)

    I want to join you. I usually walk about 3-4 miles each day. Takes me about 80 minutes at 2.6 mph on an indoor track. I walked 9 miles on two days last week. Count me in.
