Rivanariko Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I'm in. Debating whether I should get a pedometer to track how much I move while I'm at work, since I'm mostly on my feet, or just do my scheduled walks. I can get a cheap-o pedometer for a couple bucks that should do the job, but will I actually use it? Quote "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that leads to total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." -Frank Herbert, Dune Link to comment
Doodle Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I say at least for now get a cheapo pedometer. just wearing mine makes me want to workout more. I am totally in btw. I'm probably going to count my entire day's activities if i remember to put it in. The end of this challenge means schools coming.. so My schedules going to be getting -alot- busier.

CowboyMisterIndependent Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Is it cheating if I run and bike to Mordor? I already wanted to track my biking, but I'd like to start running outdoors, too. It'd be nice to have an accountable community.Sent from my MB865 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Cowboy - Human Adventurer STR: 3 | DEX: 2 | STA: 2 | CON: 2 | WIS: 3 | CHA: 3 Link to comment
alr Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I've needed a good excuse to start logging workouts again now that I am finally unpregnant and allowed to get back to normal!

alr Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Oh, and I'm just counting the exercise walks and walking around town (library, etc.) since I have no pedometer and have to use google maps to figure out mileage. Hopefully I can get a pedometer and log more off road trips though! Quote "The future will be different if we make the present different." Peter Maurin Link to comment
danfindley Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I'm in! (have been since I read the blog post)I'm using nike+gps on the iphone and only tracking those walks. One of these days I might buy a pedometer just for gigles.Awesome fun idea. Quote Link to comment
AngelCastaneda Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I'll be using my Fitbit as well. I am counting the random walks, as part of my deal right now, is to walk to/from places as much as possible, even if it's not a scheduled workout (ie.: I'll get off the bus a few stops earlier, and then walk to work the rest of the way) Quote [table=width: 700, align: center] AngelCastaneda [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Human Adventurer STR: 3 DEX: 2 STA: 2 CON: 2 WIS: 3 CHA: 3 Current Challenge: Eat Paleo.

Siferiax Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Totally in!I'm only going to count the longer walks outside. Will be using Noom on my Android. Maybe also Runkeeper... to compare results (they don't give the same?)On a typical day I already walk a total of 20 min (from car to work, from work to lunch, from lunch to work, from work to car), but I rather just count the "real" walks.Like for example I had the idea of walking into town today to find a barber.

dragonjax Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Question: are you guys putting in all the distance you walk during a day, or only scheduled walks/runs?I'm only doing the scheduled walking. To Mordor with purpose, damn it! Quote Link to comment
Elastigirl Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Walked today past a Peregrine Falcon nest in a cell phone tower near my house. 3 of the birds were soaring overhead. I just stood and watched them awhile.

WarriorAmy Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 So I'm not a huge walker, but I did an 11km bush walk yesterday and wanted to add to the team. So there's another 6-something miles.

slcathena Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 I'm totally in. I'm just going to track my runkeeper runs for now. 17.2 miles since 6/27, which I'm super proud of! Quote Halfling Female Ranger STR - 4 ~ DEX - 3 ~ STA - 5 ~ CON - 2 ~ WIS - 3 ~ CHA - 2 Link to comment
Raincloak Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Went to an art fair today and walked all the hell over the place, with pedometer. I'm just gonna be lazy and assume 2,000 steps per mile, mmkay? I'll measure it later. Quote Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. Hylian Assassin 5'5", 143 lbs.

danfindley Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Well, the group walk inspired me to get off my butt last weekend and put in some good walking. 21km on Saturday, 13km on Sunday. We're 21 miles closer to Mordor. Yay! Quote Link to comment
Raincloak Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 By the way, how is it only 4 miles from Rivendell to Lorien on the Google sheet? That doesn't sound right...

keyboardwench Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Ugh I need to get started on this challenge! I'm up for it, this is such a good idea, but haven't done much walking besides at work since then. I really should get a pedometer as well, Fitbit is really tempting but I'm cheap, so probably going to opt for a simple thing. Quote Link to comment

Raincloak Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 We're gonna get "there and back again" in like two weeks.
