Ok, so I'm only on day 5...but I am so happy today, because for the first time in a long long time (if i ever even did it before, i don't know!) I walked 4.3 miles! (not flat ground, either!) Not only that, but I ENJOYED it. I want to do it again! I think if I hadn't started getting a blister (breaking in new shoes) I would have liked to walk a little longer. Thanks to everyone for the support and motivation! I just wanted to share in my little bit of success!

    Good for you! I know that feeling, and it's awesome. Hopefully the weather holds up for you that you can go a couple more times this week.

    If you're breaking in new shoes and getting blisters, may I suggest Band-Aid brand Extra Large Waterproof Tough Strips? They are huge, and perfect for the back of your ankle where the shoes rub. And they stay on great, even in the shower. They really work wonders!

    Thank you, everyone, for the support! (and the post-it note idea and band-aid idea, i like them!) i'm sooo excited. 5 days is already longer than any other time i've tried! (i've never made it past one!)
