Hello all! I am new here and want to do this. I have been trying to watch what I am eating, but mostly I decided that I would spend 30 minutes on the treadmill per day. I would like to take this challenge! Let's see... I walk about a 1/4 mile in 5 minutes and spend 30 minutes a day, so...

I think that a realistic goal is... 45 miles for my first month.

I AM SO READY!

Good morning! I always give myself a monthly challenge, so this will fit right in with what I already do! I had a great March (70.11 miles), but I know that is not normally possible. Spring break enabled me to add more than 22 miles, which is higher than a normal work week. SO......I am going to say 50 miles and if I get more; GREAT!

Happy walking!

Michele

WHOO-HOO! 7.19 miles down, only 37.81 left. Perhaps I set my goal too low? We'll see!

I'd like to join. I really haven't been getting many miles in so I'm just setting a goal of 15 for the month. I have 2.5 in so far.

Good morning everyone,Where did Genesis go?
Shoequeen69: Glad to have you join us.One question? Those aren't the shoes you are going to walk in, are they? You will do just fine. 15 miles is good,we will see if we can't help you get even more.Stay tuned,we'll get you going.
How is everyone else doing? I have managed to get 7.75 miles in so far this week.It is going to be 80 here today so plan to get outside and tear up those sidewalks.
Have a great day! Keep walking Donna

Only did a mile yesterday, but after the 31 elliptical minutes on Monday, that's OK! Planning on at least 2 miles this afternoon. Will check back with results later!
