Leaving Hershey!!!

Ohh! They have settings for satelite photos they might help... but if you're doing building walking then yeah, that won't help. :D

<- this has a great way to convert pedometer steps into miles. You can get pedometers cheap at walmart.. less that 5 bucks I think.
 
I'd love to join you guys if you wouldn't mind! Thanks pequin for inviting me. If you guys started this this week, then I'm way behind, I've only put in 3 miles so far this week! I guess I need to get going!
 
You're not too far off.. I only have 5 miles personally under my belt. I'm about 98% sure this is a group thing with a big grand final total.. I think :confused::confused: Can you clear that up for me T&E?? :D

Anyway - welcome!!! :D:D
 
New to date total reported in the previous posts (including miss hlangel & the .5 miles I forgot to post on teusday..lol) is..

*drum roll*.. 22.6. Woohoo!! :D

thanks pequin, you have been a big help! I will deff. be checking out the pedometer's at walmart.

and congrats on your 22.6 miles! do you count everything (like walking in the store ect.) or just your workout miles?
 
oh no - that's not my total (jeez i wish! :D).. that's this group total. My personal total is 5 miles since Monday.
 
I only walked 1.25 miles today,I did the same route the last two days when I started so I went 3.75 miles, Is that ok for just starting out walking?
I feel I can work my way up to a higher mile count over a little bit of time.:)
 
1.25 miles is fantastic. don't do more than you're comfortable with. I started out doing one block a day.. just work yourself up until you're where you want to be.
 
Pequin thanks for the confidence. I will keep on keepin on!:p
And your doing great too! Do you walk/run at a park?or on city blocks?
I don't know what is the safest. I have been going to the park, because I can watch the soccer players.But I always feel that some one is going to jump out from behind one of the trees.I don't trust anyone and my guard is always up.Just wondered what you all do about running location?
 
Hey everyone! I updated my signature to keep my running totals of how many miles I have gone. Today I did another 2.25 miles. No jogging today, just a nice stroll. Kdel, you are doing great! I honestly like to keep my jogging to the treadmill. Walking, well, I do that outside most of the time, but things here are strange. I guess you could say that we live in the country. The airbase we live on is about 1 mile from a little town taht is surrounded by fields. Everyone does alot of walking here.
 
I walk around my neighborhood. Not too far from home - I make a clover leaf around a four block radius that adds up to a mile. I know what you mean about the boogieman behind every bush. I never walk at night and I carry a cellphone and pepper spray just in case... we don't even live in that bad of a neighborhood - I just want to be safe.

I just walk, I may have a rare moment once in a while to jog but nothing severe. At 300+lb.. it's not really too safe on the knees. But I am going to try to work up to jogging once I've passed my first goal weight.

Got another 1 1/2 miles in today.. my week total is 6.5 miles. No walking tomorrow since Saturday & Sunday are my rest days. :D:D:D
 
Everyone is doing wonderfully! I like the Idea of rest days:) I will think about that after I catch up to all you guys on the mileage:D Have a great weekend
 
Hey everyone! I actually got the family out for a walk again - still trying to get the baby out of my girlfriend - I added another 2.25 miles to my total! up to 7.5 now! I'm jealous liv - I would love to go to the gym by myself! Good job everyone!
I figured it out, and if we want to make it to 500 miles by Christmas, we need to do about 55 miles a week starting monday! Depending on what our actual total by then is!
 
I am really really hoping so.. cause if not I won't make it..lol. I've been counting only mine on in my signature, so it will be easier to add later. I vote for a group challenge. :D
 
I hear ya! I've been counting only mine on in my signature too but I am not counting down anymore. I put down what I've done, because I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. What kind of group challenge? Like who walks the most within in challenge? :p
