Walking / biking challange

Warm up those pedometers! I have a challenge for you! (inspired by MGF's goal) I CHALLENGE YOU!! to walk or cycle 100 K or miles this month! - I have been using my exercise bike, so I want to cycle, BUT! I just programed my new pedometer, so I am hoping to do BOTH! (100k=62 miles)
The pedometer has always helped me in the past - I challange myself to walk a little more every day (even whe I end up wandering around aimlessly LOL!)

So who's in this with me?!

I'll take that challenge on the bike.
I bought a pedometer and wore it to work one day. Now remember, I work on my feet in a kitchen 8 hours a day. I wore it on the day I was in the dishroom, putting it on right after I hung up my coat until I was ready to put my coat back on (carefully taking it off during my breaks so I didn't add steps wiggling around). By the end of the day I had taken over 9400 steps.
But the bike challenge will help me get into the gym.
So bring it chick ~okay, I'll stop hanging around my teenagers so much~:rolleyes:...I'm in.

I went to the gym to day and did 10 miles in an hour. Now I'm feeling it! I'm trying to put a ticker on here, but it's not going so well. I'll keep trying. But there's my first day of the challenge.

WOW!! good job! at this rate, you'll be done by the end of the week! LOL!

I felt like crap today! so I did not get on the bike at all, however I walked 2.2 k without trying!

I tell you Leanna - he one I have now is a fancy smashy one that hubby got as a gift for speaking at a conference - I would never have bought his.... however, so far I LOVE it! it is a talking pedometer - so I push a button to know how far I have gone, or even the current time - for someone who is frustrated with wearing glasses, this is WONDERFUL!

Also! my last 3 have broken because they have fallen off one too often- this one as a trap on it that I have put through my belt loop - it can't fall to the floor this wy!

I picked me up a cheapie today. It'll do the trick until we get our tazes back then I'm springing for the fancy Reebok one. (under $20) It has a flashlight, clock and a few other extras. Never know when I'll need a light!

Just back from the gym. 8 more miles. Not sure if I'll make it tomorrow, the van we just bought in November is stalling. I won't drive it. We've got to get the battery checked...on Super Bowl Sunday...

Just got back from the gym. I took it easy today, since I've been on the couch coughing up my lungs for 3 days. But I'm on the mend.
Come on Slide...put some fire in that fancy pedometer:exercise:
