Amanda1982 142 Posted November 2, 2011 I figure I should jump right in! I'm getting banded this month so I'll have to try to get in some extra miles before the actually surgery! Do you guys count only miles that are specifically "exercise" or do you count the entire day's worth, like from a pedometer? The idea of this challege is to get everyone moving so if you can get in 1...2.. or 3 miles using a pedometer great count it Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chrissy198727 0 Posted November 2, 2011 I didn't join in last month, so I am so ready this month. I am a day late, but I am in. I am still pretty sick, but I will do some walking today. I am excited. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pugsx3 39 Posted November 2, 2011 Well, I did not keep my ticker updated for October, and I did not make 60 miles, but I came close at 56.4 miles!! Since that's way more than I would have done without this challenge, I'm in for November as well. I'll try to update myself at least once a week this time!

DawnH 9 Posted November 2, 2011 I am in! I was hoping you were doing this in Nov. I was banded in Sept and started really walking miles at a time in mid Oct so I was late to start the challenge then. It will be a good challenge! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JaGo 16 Posted November 4, 2011 So far I've been walking daily - mostly on the treadmill. By doing about 2 miles a day that seems more manageable for me. However, I am beginning to tack on a few blocks over my daily goal so that I've got time in in case I missed a day. It seems that I don't really have the time or energy to do more than 2 miles on a daily basis. However, if I were outdoors walking maybe just 2-3 times a week, I could do 5 miles. Right now, I am very sore and tuckered out during the day; so it's nightly hot baths to relieve the soreness (which I hope will subside soon). This is an amazing challenge (and so far tough for me). Okay this will be my first time for this. Can't wait! Do most of you walk daily or so many times a week? Don't know if I can do daily so I am going to try at least 4 miles 4 times a week. We will see what works best for me I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dk4k 15 Posted November 4, 2011 JaGo, try stretching if you're not already. I stretch every time I walk, before and after. And yes, I think just building up your endurance helps with the soreness too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
