Walk To 2010! - Page 2

Good news I found the cheapie (free) pedometer that seemed to work the best.
Bad news I found it when I was taking the clothes out the finished wash cycle.
Good news is I bought one like DD and Lion; it should be here Monday or Tuesday.
Stay tuned...

I'm pending administrator approval. I guess they're cross referencing with IHQ?

I'll just recycle the pedometer I got from the JDRF walk I did. I think I know where it is.

Do you think I can count the warm up and cool down (or the intermediate I have to walk I feel like I am going to die) when I'm running?

I also just bought a cute bike, so I'm walking less, though once winter comes my bike will hang out indoors when it is icy.

I think you can count any miles logged in on foot. There is some debate currently on the web site as to whether you can count other forms of exercise or how to convert other forms to "miles walked" so keep an eye out on the site, once you're in.

To make it easy to keep track, I'm just marking down miles every 25 miles and then clearing the pedometer. Goofy me forgot to take the pedometer to the mall with me when I took my girlie shopping Saturday. I know we walked the whole mall once on the lower level and one on the upper level. Perhaps their mall walkers part of the web site has some mention of distances.

Well that means not just the treadmill, but the eliptical trainer is in, but I guess not the bike. Oh what about roller skates? I can put on my leg warmers and blast Xanadu.

While it has not been a good week for me to get to the gym [pesky migraine, occasionally pesky children, and pesky work got in the way], today I hit 100 miles since convention

.

Looking forward to the kids going back to school on Monday and getting back into my regular gym routine. Tomorrow morning [guess it's really a few hours from now] I'm planning Interval training on the elliptical as well as a full circuit of the weights - I can't wait!

I'm right around 61 miles.

AGDLynn · #22 08-05-2008, 10:32 PM

I'm stuck at about 50. I still have my strained foot muscle. Doc says if it's not better, come back on the 20th and have an xray done.

A little late to the party but better late than never ~ what a great idea!

When I first saw the 2010 the first thought that came to my mind was the 2010 Winter Olympics (Vancouver is hosting) and all of the related healthy/active living initiatives currently underway. In any case, leave it to an AGD to come up with this awesome idea!

Picking up a pedometer is top of the list for tomorrow's shopping trip.

Looking forward to sharing this with the AGD collegians and alumni around here

Cheers!

I just went up to do a Recruitment Workshop at Theta Omicron and our girls are taking great initiative to get in their miles!

They have plotted a 4 mile stint (partially up the mountain) and some of the girls are over 100 miles already!!

AGDLynn · #26 08-23-2008, 04:44 AM

Gosh, no one's posted for a few days, lol. Must be back to real life.

We've FINALLY decided to put in the bathroom downstairs (YEA!) so I've been able to get the treadmill out of "storage".

My foot still hurts from the strain but my goal is to start walking the 10k steps a day as long as my foot "allows" me too. Having the treadmill will help.

I hit 75 miles last week

I took my daughter school clothes shopping today and did 3 miles in the mall.. sheesh!

That's one of the things I love about ya! When is your race?

I never realized how much walking I did, even just being at the office, until I wore the pedometer. My little gadget even has a calorie counter personalized for my stats so I can take a peak at it if I'm headed to the vending machine.

"Oh I've already burned 400 calories today...I can eat that Snickers bar."
