Week One

Tuesday marked the last day of my first week in the Family Circle Walking Challenge. I am feeling pretty good! Some days were better than others, but all in all it wasn't bad. In 7 days I walked 34.7 miles. (or 71,298 steps, which is more than the suggested 70,000 steps a week) Yea me!!!

Getting There

I know that at one point I read somewhere that you should walk 10,000 steps every day at a minimum. That's about 5 miles. (The average person takes 2000 steps to walk one mile) That is a challege to me. So I am shooting for what Family Circle is recomending. 70,000 steps per week. Some days you walk more than others. This way when you have a not so hot day in your walking, you can make up for it another day. Like my first two days were only 8778 and 7890 steps. But Friday and Saturday were 12455 and 10679. So far today I have walked 11347. So my 5 day total is 51,149. Which leaves me 18,851 to hit 70,000. Not too bad since that breaks down to 9425 for each day. (Hopefully I am not confusing everyone with all of these numbers being thrown out there)

Let's make this easier. My challenge (not counting today's steps) are : 19.7 miles.

Jenn: Are you keeping up? (you can check a cheap pedometer at Wal-Mart for $5 to make it really easy to keep track of your walking)

I'm just A Walkin' Fool

I've only been wearing the pedometer for two days now. (Today is day number three). I logged 8778 steps on the 14 and 7890 steps on the 15. So my miles to date are 8.3. How are you doing?
