Whisper Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Decided to put Map My Walk on my phone so I can get a feel for distance. Looking at the screen while installing, first thing under "Similar Apps" was Dumb Ways to Die Spoiler Clearly, this challenge is more dangerous than we first thought! 10 Quote We are not sinners trespassing in the garden of an angry God. We are prodigals come home; fully seen and deeply loved. Put together enough small wins over a long enough period of time, and you’ll find yourself in high level gear fighting dragons before you know it.

Waanie Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Day 2's 20 minutes are in the pocket. Because the weather is bad, we opted to go for just our regular lunch-walk, aka 20-25 minutes. 4 Quote Link to comment
juliebarkley Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 I crashed yesterday and did not get in the walk I had planned. But I have a ton of necessary walking planned for today and tomorrow, so hopefully that will make up for it. 7 Quote Challenge: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 Link to comment
Whisper Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Map my walk says that going around the outside of my building is just a bit over half a mile. Did that twice this morning for a full mile. 4 3 Quote We are not sinners trespassing in the garden of an angry God. We are prodigals come home; fully seen and deeply loved.

AlleyCat Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Halfway to goal. I enjoyed the Jessica Smith video so much yesterday, I decided to try another one at lunch today. They're only 15 minutes long, so I still have another 15 min to go. And now I'm probably known as the wacky person who exercises in her office, because several people interrupted me. Oh, well - I've always been the weird one. Why should this be any different? 7 Quote Current challenge Link to comment

I have had a similar epiphany recently, and let me tell you, it has been life changing. I hope you continue to take charge and realize what does/does not work for you. 3 1 Quote Life before Death Strength before Weakness Journey before Destination Link to comment
Jean Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 @Everstorm: thanks! I wish you a lot of fun on the journey. I did my 30 minutes of walk today and ran a bit on the way. Walking in the chill night is amazing and I am recovering energy at a very quick pace. Now to deal with the daily routine of my job to make THAT eldritch monster run away. 3 Quote Legally bound to hug people in need. Living life as a Druid is about walking with the beasts. It's about being scared, looking your fears in the eyes and going on anyway. Dread doesn't go away, you just learn to know it. It's still a beast, it still has fangs, but you walk among it.

juliebarkley Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 30 minutes done walking to the post office, home again for something I forgot, then back to the post office. Yesterday's 20 minutes made up in further errands after that. 4 Quote Challenge: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 Link to comment

Heidi Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 On the first leg of their journey (Bag end to Rivendell), the hobbits walked an average of 17 miles a day. Thus far I’m clocking in around 2. I’ve been toying with the idea of adding the stationary bike to the gym routine, and possibly also doing some easy small hikes in my area to revel in the gorgeous autumn mountains. Happy to report that this little mini-challenge was exactly what I needed to add both those in. 3 Quote ♥ & ☮, Heidi Gypsy Druid Paladin Ranger: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 :: Druid: 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 |:: 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 |:: 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 |:: 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 | 36 | 37 | 38 |:: 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 | 46 |:: 47 | 48 | 49 | 50 | 51 | 52 | 53| 54 | 55 | 56 | 57 | 58 | 59 | 60 |:: 61 | 62 | 63 | 64 | 65 | 66 | 67 | 68 | 69 | :: 70 | Paladin: 71 | 72 | 73 | 74 | 75 | 76 | :: 77 | 78 | 79 | 80 | 81 | Heidi Chronicles NF Character Sheet | @theheidifeed| MySlashdotKarmaIsExcellent Let's catch up: https://calendly.com/loveandpeace Link to comment
