I am definitley in...it seems like a great idea and a fun way to motivate myself and others..

Question...about how far is one mile??? I have no idea..and so can't guess how far 10 miles is exactly..If it were in like blocks...or a time period I could figure it out..miles though..No clue.

thanks for any help with the Mile issue

I'm in! This will keep me getting to Curves, and actually outside every once in a while!

For whoever asked how far a mile is, you have a couple of choices to determine it. One is to simply hop in your car and drive the route you want to walk. Another is to use a treadmill. A third is to use a pedometer, though I forget how many steps they say equals a mile. I'm sure it's on the 'net somewhere though.

And, I think maybe we should let people in who don't necessarily walk, but like the one poster who does the elliptical, she could know how many miles she goes. Obviously I know my mileage and use Curves for the bulk of it...

So maybe we take out the walk part and just say "go 10 miles"? I dunno...

Either way, I'm in!

For shannon in B.C. or anyone else whose brain, car and maps all understand distances in Metric, 10 miles is 16 km. (- plus a few metres, but 16 is very close!)

Hi all,

I'm new, but I'll join the challenge! I'm training for a triathlon at the end of July, so it's perfect for me to have a challenge for June.

My goals are to do yoga everyday, bike to and from work every day (once my bike gets back from the shop on Tuesday) and to run or swim every day:

completed:

5/26: walk/jog 1 hour
5/27: walk/jog 30 min, yoga 30 min

to do:
5/28: walk/jog 30 min, yoga 50 min
5/29: walk/jog 30 min, yoga 50 min
5/30: bike 40 min, swim 30 min, yoga 50 min
5/31: bike 40 min, walk/jog 30 min, yoga 50 min
6/1: bike 40 min, swim 30 min, yoga 50 min

Hopefully this won't be too much. The biking hasn't been hard so far, and I try to do 20 min of active yoga in the mornings and then another 30 min of more stretching oriented yoga after running or swimming... So it's all broken up into manageable bits.

Hey all. I binged and gained a pound this past week. Not good. BUT, I finally specifically identified a trigger, so that is good news!

Exercise plan for this week:

5/29: Curves--30 minutes + 10 stretching Done!
5/30: Curves--30 minutes + 10 stretching--not going to do it. Forgot I have a hair appointment. Yoga maybe when I get home.
5/31: Curves--40 minutes + 10 stretching
6/1: yoga after work, possibly Curves during lunch that day.

I hope to some yoga on the weekend as well, and maybe go for a walk. Depends on the humidity. I really hate it; ever since I was little it gave me headaches. It's like I'm missing some sort of internal tempreature gague. And I wasn't even fat then!

Hey All

tina- sorry to hear about the camping trip..nothing is worse then being rained out..I can remember one trip as a kid when we woke up in the morning the rain inside the tent was halfway up the air mattress....

I was doing so well with the excercise..then over did and paid the consequences..I couldn't walk yesterday...sitting down to pee hurt so bad I thought I wouldnt get back up ..Spent the day covered in tiger balm smelling like a peppermint patty..which was fun at work

I bounced back today did 1 hour walk and 20mins of cardio

I am now at 4 hours of excercise..and have to work tomorrow..so hopefully in the morning I can get in that last hour or at least close enough to it..

I have to say knowing you are all here is definitley motivating..

Keep up the great work ladies
