It sounds like a few of us have resolved to walk more this year. I thought it might be fun to record how much we have walked, what we see when we are walking and how we are feeling about our daily walks. Anyone care to join me in journaling your walks?

Anno, what a great idea! I would love to journal like this. But I won't be walking today as I'm still battling a head cold. Tomorrow it's back to work so I plan to walk after I get home - it's way too dark and cold in the mornings - if I feel better.

Cool idea! Maybe by journaling, I would be more diligent in my walks. Count me in. What's the instructions?

No instructions that I can think of, up to anyone who wants to journal. Here is mine for the day.

My first walk of the New Year. I saw my first snowman of the winter. (Yes, I live in Minnesota, but we have not had cold weather or snow until last night. Amazing) He, the snowman, was a cutie. Had a flower pot on his head for a hat and arms of evergreen branches.

Families were out tobagganing and cross country skiers at the golf course. Two weeks ago there were golfers and now skiiers. Life in Minnesota can be interesting.

I noticed, that because I was going to return to journal here, that I noticed more and I walked longer. Looking forward to hear about walks all around the world.

Great! I'll post as soon as I walk today. I like this. It's freeing...sort of. A place to come and say, "I did it!" A reward of sorts..yes?

Ah ha, I didn't even know about this post and I just got back from a teeny bit of an hour-plus walk with a girlfriend. She lives down the street and we walk often. Even though it was misting when we started, rained for part of the walk, then stopped near the end, it was refreshing.

We have a few routes that we've done in the past but lately, due to my knee, we've been weaving in and out of the neighborhood streets nearby just in case I need to stop. Today we also wandered through town and around the courthouse, then called it quits.

Ann, great idea for a topic. I will definitely record my walks. This should make it more fun and interesting. I'll look forward to hearing about where others walk.

Tomorrow, I'm hitting the mall early to walk with another friend. Now that my leg is feeling a bit better, I want to walk off the pounds I've gained since injuring it in August. I weigh more now that I ever have in my life. How many other women can say that? That included when I was pregnant. ACK!

I would tell you, but then I'd have to cut out your tongue and break all your fingers....

In high school we learned a new phrase....confess only to the priest.

I can relate Dotsie, I lost weight when pregnant the second time and was skinny. I am fatter now than I ever was in my entire life, thats what 'bad marriage' stress will do for you. Then those bad habits are hard to break. I plan on walking too and bought a pedometer. Should we post here daily like in the diet section, or just journal our progress....?

I love walking, but need to go somewhere new all the time. Hubby and I often pop into the car and walk somewhere we've never been before. I think it makes it more interesting, and you can't get home that fast.
We measure in kilometers here...hmmm anyway we try to walk at least 5 kilometers, that's 1.6 kilometers in one mile. so that makes; ? Where is my calculator? Okay that's 3.1 miles, takes about 45 minutes (brisk walking). I try to do this at least every other day.
