20 miles to Syracuse
 

Thanks Misti, I hope that I'm not that sick for again anytime soon, so I will be here.. except I am going on a trip next week, so I will be away from Saturday to Wednesday, and I won't have computer access.

You are indeed correct, we have a total of 295 miles, including my 18 miles, so we are about 3 miles from Syracuse, NY.

If we stay around this pace we will be in Seattle by the beginning of summer. :)

Oh that's great! I am glad I was on the right trail! I was concerned about you as I was not aware that you were sick. You walked 18 miles while you ha strep throat??? WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well that makes us a lot closer to Syracuse than I thought yippeeee!

Yah we are moving... and another newbie signed up today so we will have an extra set of feet moving us along LOL

Hey Chris! So glad you are feeling better. It is encouraging to know that we might be in Seattle by summer.

Michele, what is WATP?

Misti- What was your walk in the rain like? You've got guts. :)

Lydia- Have fun in Sea World. I hope you’ve packed your pedometer. You will rack up a lot of distance there!

Dee- I hope your feet are better… take care.

The mill and I are really becoming friends. I almost don't want to stop the workout but my body says "That is enough!"

I am off to get in some yard work.. I expect that will make me sore as I feel muscles I didn't know I had.

Have a great day everyone. :running:

LOL Jayde it is a LOT harder for me to get out there when the sun is shining. My walk in the rain was heavenly.... LOL Love it love it love it... so cool and refreshing on my face. And you have to realize too that the rain here in Seattle is not hard driving rain most of the time... just a gentle mist although this year we have had a lot more actual rain, like yesterday. But still it is nothing compared to the downpours in other areas.

Michele, I see you're from Iowa. Where? I'm in Ames. Kind-of bad weather lately, huh? Hopefully it will straighten up soon.

Have a good day, everybody!! West coast here we come!

Wow I got out and did a 7 mile round trip walk today and don't intend to do much else LOL so will go ahead and post

Ok I did Leslies 4 Mile walk and including rest of my day on 4/1/06 was 7 miles. Thats the best for me yet. Felt good. Kathy

Wow it is great to hear both of you with "bests." Yippeee... the 7 mile round-trip walk today was my best except for the 10 mile one quite a while ago so we are doing great!

Michele the WATP sounds neat... I would like to learn more about it! I looked at the website though and it sounds as if you walk IN your home. Since I want to be outside doing my walking and live in the perfect location for that, perhaps WATP is not for me. Do you walk at home or go out... or both?

Thanks Michele! It does sound great for your circumstances. I am kind of the opposite... not only live in a small apartment but it is on third floor so can't bounce around too much or the neighbor below might not appreciate it LOL

I know what you mean though... on a treadmill I always dance around and use my arms. But I am finding the Danskin workout balls nice to help with that.

I got some great mileage (for me, anyway :o) in today! I look forward to posting my total tomorrow! :D

Hi Everybody!
 

Hello Everyone! Sorry to be MIA this weekend. Sounds like everyone is doing better, and WOW you ladies are really tearing up the miles! I have some to add for the weekend, but not too many. I did mostly hanging out with the kids and the hubby and some laundry this weekend. but here we go

Good job, everyone... we must have gone through Syracuse this weekend I would assume; can't wait to see where we land next LOL!!

Good Morning!
 

Good Morning Everyone! I actually got up and got a good start to my week! YAY! And I can't even go back to bed like I usually do for an hour, because my Ddog has taken over my spot, :) . She is definitely enjoying being the only dog again. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Welcome, Nancy! Great to have you with us!! Looking forward to reading your bio! :welcome3:

Dee and Michele, good morning earlybirds. :) I am up early too but it is because I have to go to work! Oh I am soooooooooooooooooooo sore from the long walk yesterday; my foot problems are showing LOL.

Dee, LOL about the dog taking over your spot in the bed! :) Guess no more sleep for you today tee hee.

Michele, have fun sharing your husband's birthday and making it special for him! Hey, you can "do" with a break LOL.

From Friday, Saturday, and Sunday

If I were using the estimated 10k steps = 5 miles, I would've been at around 5 1/2 miles. Unfortunately for me, my pedometer accurately measures how far I've actually walked :P It's all good, though. I have to work a lot harder to get in the same miles as the tall folks, but I know I'm working hard! :D

Sea World is a great place to get exercise. I was there for about 4 1/2-5 hours, walking for around 3 hours of that time. It got to 93 degrees yesterday. I was mostly well-protected from the sun by sunblock. Unfortunately, some of it washed off when I got wet (Shamu show and a ride), so my chest, top of my forehead, and cheeks got sunburnt. There's this one patch on my chest about the size of a silver dollar that is REALLY red. But it doesn't hurt, doesn't burn, it's just a little hot so it's all good. I'm happy with all the exercise :D

Happy Monday, walkers!

Morning...well yesterdays totals were

Day logged: Sunday April 2, 06
miles or steps: 9380 steps or 4.69 miles

I am not sure how many miles I have I have lost track.

My little doggie died this morning so I am planning a long walk this afternoon...see ya later...Blyn

BlynC: Sorry to hear about your doggie. Take care.

This morning 4 miles!

Hi all--

We've had pretty cruddy weather here so I haven't been able to get out and put in my time and distance.

But I managed to get out there today. I did 3 miles.

Date: 4/3
Miles: 2.1
Total so far: 23.1

(I would have lost track of my total as well except that all I need to do is subtract 15 from my signature goal. That was a warm-up. I am impressed with Chris keeping up with all of this.. I couldn't do it. :p )

Misti- Misty rain is nice to walk in.. 

Michele, I looked into WATP but like Misti said the website was not very informative. So when you walk, you are not actually watching the video? Is that right?

Start 8- Wow.. you must love to walk!

Blyn, I am sorry to hear about your dog. Take care of you.

Todays workout was a bit too much for me.. I upped the mill level to a 5 which gave me interval speeds of 2.4 - 3.6. And inclines of 2 - 7%. Add that to the 2 pound weights in each hand, and I almost thought I was trying to do myself in... It was not fun.. and it should be fun.. so tomorrow I will take it back down to level 4 and use the weights.

Happy walking everyone! Rain or shine according to Misti!

Greetings, everyone! Glad to see so many of you on here marching away! :)

Blyn, I am sorry about your doggie. :hug:

Jayde, how do you think I got the name "Misti in Seattle" ??? It was planned my real name is "Sue." :)

Start, you are really moving on!! :jig:

I found it, I found it
 

Well Misti, I share your pedometer woes, I can't wait to get my Omron, I made the mistake of ordering it with the new book from the chicks. Since the bookisn't out until May Amazon was waiting to ship it. So I changed it and it should be here soon.

So the only way I could log miles was from the treadmill or WATP videos (which I love!), but then this morning,while driving into work, I heard a strange far away mechanical voice. It was my long lost "talking" pedometer, located, under my driver's seat, telling me that I had reached 6 miles LOL.

So I clipped it on and when I got home I popped in my new WATP walk and kick DVD, and got up to 6 miles today :carrot: add that to the 5.5 yesterday and it brings our current collective total too....drum roll please.....436.50 miles

Way to go! :group:

So that puts us around Buffalo, NY heading toward Erie, PA!

A special welcome to WalkerNJH, we will be near Michigan soon, perhaps you can give us some local history. I love your avatar, my husband loves to kayak, and that is one of my incentives to get in better shape, perhaps I'll start logging miles in the kayak, LOL


Also special welcomes to Debbie, Mundy and Naked, please share your respectives locals as we approach or pass through the areas.

Blyn, so sorry to hear about your dog, they really are part of the family, and I am sure it's tough right now, sending you warm thoughts and a cyber :hug:

Great job everyone, KEEP walking! Misti are you securing that cyberhall, make it a big one, the group keeps growing, YAY!

Wow I can't believe we made it to Buffalo already! Wooohooo

I am a bit frustrated right now. I got the Omron pedometer and there is no way on earth I can get the little clear plastic clip open to clip it onto my pants and I am afraid to use it without it! There are no instructions except a little picture with arrows floating around; I have tried and tried and can't figure out how to open it!! Drat!!! LOL I even posted a thread asking for help so hope someone can help me.

I would have made the same mistake about ordering it with the book except the order got messed up online and I had to call them; so they told me what would happen and I did not order the book

LOL about the cyberhall... yes I'd best book in advance and get a big one. <G>

Yay! I got the clip open LOL
