Welcome Karen68!!! Your goal to participate in a 5k is wonderful! After you've been walking on your treadmill for a while and are making some progress, you should check out the couch potato to 5k program.

So, haven't posted since the month started, but here is my mileage so far... 10.8/40 maybe i'll make it this month!

I haven't gotten a walk in as of yet. Going to try and do a bunch of 10-15 minute walks in between doing other stuff and running errands. Will post later or tomorrow.

Keep on truckin' ladies!

I just joined this forum a few days ago, so my goal is 30 miles for the month of May and I have done 9 so far. Does a walking dvd count as well? I do those on days when it's raining or my kids don't feel well. I don't have a treadmill yet.

1 hour running on the treadmill:

Two miles today

1 mile today (fell off the wagon last week while moving). 11/30. Guess I will have to "fail successfully" this month and push it for next month!

Hi ladies - is it too late in the month for me to join you?

I walk approx. 3.2 miles per day while pushing my son in the stroller. I've been doing it since 5/11 and hope to keep it up daily.
So far here is what I've done for the month:
5/11 - 1.5
5/12 - 2.0
5/13 - 2.5
5/14 - 4.5
5/15 - off
5/16 - 2.5
5/17 - 2.5
5/18 - off
5/19 - 3.2
5/20 - 3.2
5/21 - off
5/22 - 3.2
If I calculated that correctly that's 25.1 miles walked so far this month - with 9 days left in May I think I can probably add another 20 miles - at least.

If you'd rather I can wait until June to join - just let me know!

Thanks and good luck to all!
eta: the 3.2 miles takes about 65 minutes to complete, hoping to improve on that with time.

About 3.5 miles this evening - 102.5/125

welcome jen..never too late

4.75 last night

84.1/100 I should meet my goal this weekend.

Good morning all!
3.2 miles last night with a VERY cranky toddler in the stroller. Fingers crossed that he's in a better mood tonight and the rain holds off.

Hope everyone has a great day!

BTW: lost another .5 lb - that brings my total to 6lbs in 10 days:)

7.1

91.2/100

5.1? have to recheck

96.3/100

Just under 2 - 104.4/125

However, I'm going to cheat and add Sunday's run before I do it. Short of getting injured there's no way I'm not finishing, even if I have to crawl over the line, so I'll put it down now as I'll be offline for a few days.

130.6/125. Probably.

Walking
 

I tried to start a thread on here about this, but it wont let me, I do not know why so if someone can tell me why I would really appreciate it.

That being said, I would like to know if Walking really helps people lose weight (of course) along with a healthy eating style?

Has anyone actually lost weight by walking? I am trying to walk a little more everyday since it is summer time in New York City. I was working out at home, then I just got a little bored and distracted so I would rather walk. It makes me feel a lot better, and I get a chance to get some fresh air (while listening to my music).


Thanks
