I want to join! I'm a Yank that's living in Canada now, so I can visit vicariously through this walk across the US. I also need to convert from kilometers to miles. I still haven't got that whole kilometers thing down. This sounds like a lot of fun and a motivator to get me out there!

I would love to join this group! I live outside Chicago, not too far from I-90! I set up an exercise challenge for the 300+ group (we count minutes of exercise), but I often walk on the treadmill and this sounds great. It also might motivate me to get a pedometer!

I used to live in Massachusetts and took I-90 (the Pike) all the time, and when I lived in Michigan, drove back home on it! So I'm familiar with the "actual" road from Boston to Chicago!

I'll post my miles on the miles thread!

Good Morning everyone.

I would love to join in on the walking. This would give me an excuse to get out there and start walking. Just the incentive I need walking coast to coast. I was living in Vermont, but moved back to Iowa. I was going to join earlier, but I don't live too close to I-90 so I thought I couldn't. Silly me. So I am ready to add some miles to the journey.

I didn't walk yesterday, but am planning on adding atleast 4 miles today if all possible. I'll post later in the correct section.

Annie

Steph--where in Iowa are you? I am in Vinton (between Waterloo and Cedar Rapids) and grew up in Marion. My folks and one sister still live there. I went to college in Dubuque for undergrad and then in Cedar Falls for grad studies.

Welcome!!!!

This is such a cool idea!

Can I play, too?

I don't wear a pedometer, but I walk or run 2 miles a day, 6 days a week. On Saturdays, I run 6.4 miles, so that should help.


cheers!

Hi, CaGG--I don't wear a pedometer, either. I just log in what I go out for and walk and/or run.
