Hi all,
I'm at 8 miles, and am going out again today once the clouds decide to go away. Do you count pedometer steps for regular things or just when you do exercisie things? Just wondering. I have a million things on my list of things to do today. So I should get going.

Hi everybody - Another hot one, so I did just 2 miles and then 200 jumping jacks when I got home. My husband is actually excited about our walk tomorrow, so we'll probably do 3 miles and then jump in the swimming pool to cool off when we get back to the house. On Sunday my training partner and I have decided to aim high and shoot for a 10-miler. So, if everything goes as planned I'll be at 23 miles by Monday. Happy walking!
Dewcan - For the purpose of this challenge I only count exercise miles walked. However, I enjoy tracking my total miles (or steps) walked as well.

Hello ladies! It took me a while to find you Genesis! I am SO up for a May challenge. My April one was 45 and I made it by a hair... had to work extra hard on the 30th!
Anyway, my goal for May will be 55 miles. That's just about 1/4 mile more per day than last month. (PLUS an extra day in the month!) So far I've done 9 miles, so I am just about on target for the month. Good thing since it's just the beginning!
I do have a lot happening this month, so I hope that I can learn to balance all this.
Good luck to you all and have fun with it!

Good luck with your May challenge, Sassy! I'll have some challenges this month, too. The last two weeks of the month I'm going to be traveling for business. It is always a challenge to fit in your exercise while on the road, but I'm sure gonna try! Also, May 15, 16 and 17 I'm going to Naples, FL and Siesta Key, FL with some friends. Taking long walks on the beach sounds wonderful to me!
Brandy - I got my first 3-Day donation yesterday! $50 is in my account!

Thanks, Sassy!
I fell short of my weekend goal, but did pretty good! I walked 2 miles Saturday and 8 miles today, brining my May total to 20 miles so far.
Hope everybody had a nice weekend!

Way to walk ladies,
Hope your'e having a better morning than me. It's raining/snowing here, ugh, what's up with that?! I'll have to do my WATP tape today, that's definitely less fun than walking.
I'm at 14 miles so far, I'll have to pick it up if I want to get to my goal. With two little ones it's hard. But it's no excuse, I just have to do it every day.

Hi gals-I'm at 26 miles! You're all doing great.
Genesis-Congrats on getting that first donation. First one's the hardest. Good luck continuing. Let me know if you need ideas for fundraising, I've heard alot of what's worked well.
