QUOTE: Sounds like a plan ! I am new to this. Is there a goal in the challenge ? Or more of a chat topic ? I'm new at this, too. From what I can tell it's more of a chat topic for motivation. Which is great for us that haven't excersied in a "few" years!!! I'm starting slow... I'm going to try for 40 miles this month. Did 2 miles this morning. Good luck in you're walking!!!

I am brand new to MFP (today is my first day, 8/1) and this is exactly the kind of challenge I need to get me going. I was able to do my walking today and I am feeling good. My personal goal is to do at least a 30 min walk in the morning and evening after dinner.
*Curious – any thoughts on if a morning walk best before or after breakfast? |

Well I'm not doing so well on the August walking front!!
Was busy yesterday and today has been a vile day weather wise! Think I'm going to have to get on the cross trainer and do some exercise indoors today! |

My fiance' and I, along with our 19 month old son (I always push the stroller for the extra calorie burn), went for a 45 minute walk this morning. We didn't go under 3.5mph, and MapMyRun was acting up, so I think we went somewhere between 2.5-3 miles? We will be doing the same tomorrow morning if the weather is nice again, and so I can find out how far we went...

I am not opting out of this challenge but am having some issues with my knee, so haven't walked for the last 2 days, will try to get back on track tomorrow or Sunday. (will have to discuss it with my left knee to see if it agrees!
 )

I made my goal of doing at least two 30 min walks today - one in the am and again in the pm. I walked a total of 3 miles in all today and feel great. Tomorrow I hope to get one walk in before I go Zumba at 10:15am.
Keep up the great walking everyone. We can do this. |
