Default Canadian Walking Challenge

Any Canadians interested in a July walking challenge??? Our neighbors are using miles while we are using Kilometers, so I thought it would be a fine idea to start our own!

Any takers???

I think they are doing about 75 miles a month which works out to 120KMs, but you can pick your own goal, I think we can do ths!!
Thanks to Carla49 for the conversion...

You'll probably be glad to know that 75 miles is actually 120k, not 165.

Hiya Trixie!! You can pick your own goal for the month!! I'm going for 120kms myself! I think that's alot but you know I walk alot everyday so maybe it won't be as hard as I think it will!!
Good Luck!!

Ok Im going to start off small, since I know I'd never meet a goal of 120! lol I'm going to aim for about 1/4 of 120, 30km lol I think that is a good place to start for me! I dont walk too much.

See you all on the first!!

Oooo, I'm so in! My husband and I do a lot of walking with our dog each night, so this will be great! I'll ask him when he gets home from work tonight how far we usually walk each day, and then I'll set my goal for July from that! I'll be back!

One quick question...Is it strictly walking or are we also counting any kilometers that we do on our exercise bikes as well? Either way is fine by me, I just want to make sure I'm doing it right.

Can I do this but do biking instead? I bike every morning but don't walk much (not yet anyway, I will go back to it when I get a puppy but who knows when that will be).

Count me in! I usually post over on the general monthly walking thread, but it'll be great to have some fellow Cdn's to "walk with"!

My goal for June was 75 mi (120k) and found that to fit into my schedule a-ok! July, hmmm, I think I'll up it a little. Let's see... 90 mi (145k). <--- Now that I've type that, it sure does look like a lot.

Anyways, I look forward to getting to know each of you over the next month(s). Best of luck in reaching your goals!

Default May I walk with you?

I'm pseudo-Canadian--been here almost four years--and I'd really like to join you all.

I try to aim for at least 2 miles, when I do go walking, which works out at roughly 80 km a month, but it's supposed to be a challenge, right? So, 120 km it is!
