Default Thanksgiving Walking Challenge

I was reading a Blog last night where the Gals are going to start a challenge to walk 300 miles before Thanksgiving, which is 12 weeks away! I decided to start this forum. I'm only going to count miles that I walk on The Gazelle, a Treadmill, The Track or with a Walking DVD. The walking at work and other places does not count. (for me) feel free to join in!

Matthew,

Thanks for starting this. I am one of the originators of this challenge, so I am in for sure! I am walking only outdoors (I've mapped out a 1 mile trek in my neighborhood) or on the treadmill. I have to do 25 miles a week or 4 miles a day basically to make the challenge. And I'm on my way - 14 miles already this week. Yay!!

Ellen

You are off to a good start! I'm impressed. And motivated. Off to the gym. If they have the Tennis Match on the tvs I will have no problem at all banging out my 4 miles and if it's a close match I assure you I will walk until it's OVER. Pray for a 3 setter! ELLEN

I am the other originator of the challenge... or to tell you the truth, I am a follower of Ellen, my friend.

I walked 17 miles as of today and plan on walking three more after work.

My husband suggested to drop me on freeway in Seattle and pick me up in Spokane on Thanksgiving because it's exactly 300 miles. No thanks.

Matthew, Ellen, and whoever risks to join us - let support each other and do it together. Let's prove that it's doable.

Cheers,

I got 6 miles in today. Very happy!! But one of my toes is freakin killing me! I'm sure it just needs a little TLC - or at least a good sit down for a few minutes. BTW the sun came out - and of course now I've done my mileage and I don't think I can do anymore. Figures.

I did 5 miles today. So as of today it's 20 miles down and 280 to go. Not that scary anymore actually. My legs are hurting still. It's a serious business, walking.

Good luck to everyone walking!

Cheers,

I did five miles this AM, I am going to also tack on my push-ups and sit-ups. I've recently started practicing them again, as I need to to pass my PT test.

Push-Ups : 17
Sit-Ups : 20

I have a goal of being able to do 50 of each in a minute.
