And I Would Walk 500 Miles...

Back in January I was preparing for a sermon when I stumbled upon Give It 100. The site is a community for those wanting to learn a new skill or improve themselves in a specific area. The goal is to practic something for 100 days and take a video everyday. The concept was interesting and the videos inspiring. I wanted to participate but at the time I couldn't think of what I wanted to do for 100 days -until today!

The past two weeks I've been recording my walking. I was curious how far we walked each day. I was over 10,000 steps most days and many were above 16,000. It felt good to be walking that much. I noticed a difference in me and so have others. I want to keep up with walking everyday.

So that is my plan, I am going to walk everyday for 100 days 10,000 steps. Step length varies through out the day and from person to person but the estimate is that 10,000 is almost 5 miles or 8km.

In 100 days from now I will have walked (almost) 500miles :)

Way to go, Liz!!
And for getting a pedometer that actually works - or having one that works for you,

I have never been able to keep track of my steps unless by counting them under my breath.
I can remember wearing a pedometer all one day - and thinking I would have a great total at the end.
When I took it off that evening, all it said was "7".
Grrr.
