Thanks for posting that Karen31!!

I would love it if one of the mods could actually Copy that with all the smileys he used and put it at the start of this tread.. all the smileys made it Gary!! Hmmm! what do you think?

Me, me, me!! Im in! I have done 100 walking miles each of the last two months so this will give me the oomph I need to continue! :-)

Yes! I'm completely in. I joined last year but kept falling short and eventually set a final goal of 800 miles. I'm 7.5 miles off that now with two days to go I need to get moving today and tomorrow.

2014 is a new start for me and I'm going to go for the full 1000 miles.

Best wishes everyone!

I'm really excited for this to start. I got a FitBit for Xmas and I've been tracking my steps/distance since then. I'm actually quite surprised with how little I move on a typical day. I've been averaging around 5000 steps/4km (less than 2.5 miles) which isn't going to get it done. I've decided to make sure I take a walk every hour. Even if it's only 5 minutes it's definitely helping me move.

Here we go....

4.2/1000

1.6 this AM, have to go to work and will get some more later
(.85 more later)

Here we go again. My goal is for 1642 miles in 2014. Sunny today and almost warm enough to go for a walk with my dog Jethro.

Keep Moving!

Happy New Ear everyone!

Today I hit the gym and went swimming. I tracked how many lengths of the pool I swam and calculated the mileage from that. So, 1.61 miles in the pool today.

Here's to everyone's success in 2014!

Count me in

I am going to join. I usually wear my pedometer all day long, just need to take it off for my exercise class because that is how I usually lose it. So a lot of my steps are not pure exercise

Are we going to go back and "edit" our original posts--- otherwise the thread may get to be to long. Let me know how everyone wants to do it.

I think editing the original post makes sense. I wasn't quite sure how a year long challenge like this would work, but that makes sense.

For those that do wear pedometers you can wait until the evening and then log in your miles from the day. That would include any intentional exercise you do. As Gary always said, everything counts as long as you are moving!! It is totally up to you how you want to do it. I need a battery for my pedometer but as long as I can get at least some intentional exercise in each day that is good. Once I get the pedometer going again I hope to at least get a total of 4 miles each day. Ok I said it!!

Tabbycat here.
Last year I would edit my original post, but once a month (usually at the end of the month) I would add an update post to the thread with my totals for the month and the year. That seemed to work well for me.
