Joy, of course you can join in! Glad to have you with us!

Elisha, prizes??? We'll have to harass Mary & see. ;) I think we can twist her arm. I might just have to make a crown avatar for the winner to gloat with. :D Or for our signature lines, for everyone who makes it to the 100 miles.

I got 3 miles in over the weekend with Mom, and even though I slept in this morning, I'll be on track this afternoon for at least 2 miles. Gotta be sure I get up in the morning & can get a mile or 2 in before work. Plus, Mom gave me a new pedometer this weekend, since I still couldn't find mine. I just need to program it this morning & get it strapped on. LOL.

I'll check in with my added mileage tonight!

not much time but had to post. :)

I :tread: walked(actually jogged again :) ) 1.1 on the treadmill just now and probably walked at least one over the weekend in the mountains. Didn't have a pedometer so don't really know so I'll not count that and say I have 1.1 miles to my chart right now.

:wave:

Woo Hoo! I've logged 3343 steps so far- and that included a mile walk on my lunch break. I went over to the park & walked around the perimeter of the parking lot, trying to stay under the trees. Note to self: Moron, remember to put sneakers in your car. wrenching your ankle again trying to walk in heels is stupid, and will put you out of commission if you don't watch it.

Tonight I'm planning on 2 miles WATP (done without the pedometer) and I'll strap it back on when we do the grocery shopping. I think for me, 10,000 steps a day is going to be a challenge in itself. I'm going to do this! :)

Go Donna! :D You & that jogging & Mary's Jo-wuffling- you chickies are kicking my patootie!

How's everyone else coming with their mileage?

Count Me In - Newbie here
 

I'm definitely up for the challenge. Count me in.


Miles logged for October:

I'm In... Newbie Here
 

And, I've got half a mind to try to beat all of you chickadees!... tee hee

That's if I can stop hitting snooze on my alarm clock and get my round butt up in the morning.. LOL

Hello to all... and good luck

Lisa

Got 2.25 miles in tonight. Had a great walk in the cool fall evening! Yipee! I'm on my way! I plan to get another 1.5 in the morning before work and then hit the bike for a few tomorrow night! That's my plan anyway!

Now...to get on track with eating!!!!

Yay! Another 3 miles for me! That makes 5 total for the month for me, with more on the way in the morning. I need a pedometer so I can keep track of my steps during the day! Today I would have logged about 3 steps, but I walk a *lot* at work, but I don't track it, so it doesn't count. Otherwise these 100 miles would be in the bag. *sigh*
I might have to look into that. It seems like you all have an advantage over me. It's not fair! *stamps her feet*

Oh dear, it's time for me to sleep now, I'm getting cranky. I'll check in tomorrow with an updated mileage report. Have a good night.

Hmmmm .... nothing to report for Sunday, Oct.4th. :nono:

Today I went to the gym and water ran for 45 minutes. My knees have been feeling the strain of the recall on VIOXX. I figured 15 minutes should equal about 1 mile (same as stair climber). What do you think? If okay, mark me down for 3 miles today :lol:

Total to date is 5 miles.

Everyone is doing so well, I'm really going to have to get my butt in gearwork to be in the running (pun intended) for the prize. :smug:

:-J

Elisha, is there a sporting goods store nearby? If all else fails, get one of those horrid McDonalds Go Active meals & get a pedometer in that. I got my first one on ebay pretty cheap.

Joy, yup, you've got the conversion right! :) Way to go with the 5 miles!

Yesterday, outside of the WATP, I logged 4531 steps, for 2.15 miles, and that counts a 1.25 mile walk at lunch. I'm in such a small office that 10,000 steps a day would ne very hard to reach, so I am looking at 5000 steps, and doing 2-3 miles WATP each day.

233 steps in so far since I got to work, so that's not too bad.

Walk on, chickies!

Log two more miles for me! That's 7 total! Woo!

There is a sporting goods store nearby, and the local WalMart is in the mall I work at, and I usually end up wandering around there on my lunchbreak anyway, so I'll probably check there first. I just don't have a bunch of money to spend on it right now. Well, ever. Stupid security clearance that takes *FOREVER*! (I'm getting a little aggravated about that, in case you didn't notice.) Anyway, I'll probably just get a little cheapy one, at least for now. I don't think the McDonald's version is a good idea, simply because I would have to actually go to McDonald's, and I'm not the best at resisting temptation, so let's just say that plan has it's drawbacks. When I start making some real money I'll probably invest in a fancy one, but right now, that's just not practical.

I'll work it out. Possibly before work today, more likely during lunch.

Ok, speaking of work, I need to get my butt in gear. Have a great day!
~Elisha

well so far for me I have 3 miles done (including one mile of running) That looks good to me. I may go out and walk timnight but I am not entirely sure. Did alot of cleaning today with washing down walls and stuff, I don't have the energy but may tonight once the little one goes to bed. I am hoping to do about 2-3 more miles then but we will see.

I was planning to jog/walk on treadmill 2 miles today but because of circumstances out of my control only got in 1.4 in. So, that is 2.5 miles so far. WTG, Gabrielle!
:dancer: :cp:

Donna

Walking today
 

was not NEAR as much as I had planned!

I walked this morning for about 15 minutes, so I'm guessing it was just a little under a mile, so I'm counting .75 miles for today! I'm hoping...no wait...PLANNING that tomorrow will be better! I'm going for 2 miles in the morning come he** or high water!!!

You all are kicking some serious butt...Gabrielle...I'm proud of you!!

So I got a pedometer yesterday during my lunch break, just a cheapy little Walmart one, but it's better than nothing. I put it on when I went back to work at 5:00pm, and I logged 6216 steps by the time I sat down in front of my computer last night around 11. I think that's pretty good. (I told you I walked a lot at work!) I haven't measured my stride yet, so I don't know how far that is, but it's at least 1 mile, probably closer to 2. I'll measure sometime today, then add it to my total.

With this pedometer, 100 miles should be no problem whatsoever. However, I'm still going to do as much as I can on the stairclimber, or actually walking for exercise rather than just walking around. I'm going to try to get the bf to do some walking with me this weekend so I don't fall too far behind, and also because I know food isn't going to be the best.

Anyway, I've got jet. Keep on walking, sistahs!
~Elisha

Well, holy crap, Elisha! 6200 in only half a day of wearing it? This 100 miles is definitely going to be a lot easier, now. Luckily we're tall so we have a little longer stride & have that little bit of advantage. :)

Ok, I got 5030 steps in yesterday, for 2.38 miles on the pedometer. WATP fell short, thanks to ankle swelling from my stupidity on Monday. No chance to walk in the park at lunch today, so I'm going to have to find something to do to keep trying to get those steps in.

Gotta update my total & check in on the other threads... Happy Hump Day, chickies!
