Congratulations Jack on winning the walk challenge !!!
Thanks Laurie for walking with us and being our fabulous scorekeeper! The final scores are below.
Based on my rough calculations Jack averaged over 6 miles/day, Laurie over 2 miles/day and I a bit under 5.4 miles/day. All in all a good showing for each of us considering the physical stuff like Laurie was not a walker, Jack did it in spurts, and I broke a toe during it. Then there was the stuff happening in our lives during the challenge like my place of work making a mad dash not to go under and then going under, Laurie's becoming a grand fabulous mother and Jack's, ummm..., life.
Before we started, I was walking about 5 miles most days, now that the challenge is over I hope to start walking for about an hour every morning, and then maybe a short walk in the evening around dinnertime. I am working on having the proper equipment so I can walk everyday. I have the hot sunny days worked out, poncho for the rainy ones, wind pants and yak trax for the snowy/icy ones but I still need new hiking boots (mine bit the dust last year) and winter clothing. I have some power dry, lots of fleece, wool for trousers and ultrex to play with. I lost a few mittens last year so I need to make some of those. I am most excited about the polar dry and wondering if it could also be used for dance work out stuff too.

Congratulations to both of you! On top of not walking much, I forgot or chose not to wear my pedometer a total of 12 days. What a slacker. :)
Laurie-Thanks!
Imagine how well you could have done if you had remembered!
Congratulations, all of you!
How did you calculate the daily mileage?
I still think Jack cheated. He is sneaky, as we all know. :)
I’d say I felt sorry for Laurie losing out and all, but I know that she burns enough calories and energy on her weekend excursions with us, Jack, and her family! Hahaha!
Good on ya for keeping it up with a busted toe!
