The walk of life... [open, until end of April challenge]


Recommended Posts

This is a walking PvP that will be running until the end of the next challenge in April 2016 (approx 7 weeks total). This is a bit longer than usual so you have plenty of time for a stretch goal!


 


5 levels:


Titanium - 128 km's (80 miles)


Gold - 96 km's (60 miles)


Silver - 64 km's (40 miles)


Bronze - 32 km's (20 miles)


Copper - 19 km's (12 miles)


 


PVP Rules


 


1. Pick a level above that will stretch you but you think you can make. During the challenge walk that many km's in 4 weeks (7 weeks this time!).


 


2. Sign up in this sheet and track your km/miles during the challenge.


 


3. Specify after your name either (walking) or (pedometer) depending on if you will be tracking either just specific "I'm going for a walk" distances (walking) or I will track steps by wearing a pedometer/fitbit/etc. (pedometer). It's easier to get more mileage using a pedometer so we want to keep you accountable to hit those higher medals    ;)


 


4. Any amusing walking gifs are most welcome    :)


 


Anyone is welcome to join in from any guild, including recruits    :encouragement:

Yep, if people missed the start and want to join at any point along the way they can too and will still have plenty of time to hit a goal or two :)

This challenge is right up my alley - or, being a Druid, maybe that should be right up my "valley"... hmmm.

 

Anyway, I got a pedometer to wear at work as I am on my feet a lot, out of curiosity. Turns out I do anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 steps between 7:30-3:30pm, which translate to roughly 2.5 to 5 miles per day!

In addition, I try to get in an outdoor hike on weekends.

 

I hope it's OK to count those "working" miles too. If not, let me know, and if so, between now and the end of April I should get to Titanium.

Go for it! All good on the rules front :)

 

I think I tried to post on here already, but I'm definitely down to reach Titanium. :) I'll be using my Fitbit to track my steps and miles.

Welcome to the party!

You got this! Don't let that heat beat you! (But stay safe, obviously).

 

...by the way, I put in my miles starting at the beginning of this challenge. Is that ok, or were we supposed to start from the day this challenge was posted?

Just updated the log - do we do this on weekly basis on whenever we think about it?

I suppose it doesn't really matter, only the final number will in the end.

 

Keep on walking everyone.

Whenever you think about it! I try to do it daily, but I usually forget.

Phew.  I'm out of breath already - trying to catch up with y'all.

 

Late to the party, but I've strapped on my fitbit again for the April challenge.  It's Wednesday of week zero, but I betcha I can still get to titanium!  Gonna shoot for 8,500 steps a day.

Good luck suzyQlou! I'm using my FitBit too! I'm always looking for new friends if you want to join up to do challenges on the FitBit.

Cool.  I'm very new to having fitbit friends, but the idea is starting to appeal to me.  I will see if I can figure out how to connect with you and PM you a link.

 

I know some of you are all over the globe, but it's springtime in my neck of the woods.  I'm going to love getting out for the extra steps whenever I can.  I stopped for a quick 15 minute walk along the Appalachian Trail yesterday.  Some pretty wildflowers were just starting to pop up!

Spring is so different than Winter.  I'm finding I want to move so much more.  I upped my fitbit goal from 8,500 to 10,000 steps.  That seems to be what many folks shoot for from the beginning, but it used to seem way too high for me.  Nice weather makes such a difference!

 

I was on work travel all week, so I didn't get to walk in the wilderness and see more Spring plants.  I did watch some crazy ants for a while, though.  I was walking after a storm, and I thought I was seeing water drops roll down a little hill.  Turned out to be hundreds of little ants scurrying along.  Anyone else notice anything odd on recent walks?

The same thing happens to me in Spring! It's suddenly so much easier to go out and get all those miles in. :)

There's a badass grey siamese cat who sits in someone's garden up the road. My dog went cautiously over toward it to have a sniff and see what it was about, cat didn't move an inch and just death stared him until the dog backed off :lol:

 

It's Autumn here in Australia, beautiful sunny days and very pleasant temperatures, lovely for walking. :)

Alright, I'm in! I missed the start of the challenge, but I've got logs starting from the 11th of March, so that will have to do.  I've updated the sheet with the relevant details.

 

I'm aiming for Titanium status: Time to talk the talk.

Good luck Dawsy!

Nature walks are still the best.  I love how this walking goal gets me to speed through my afternoon errands so I can catch 15 minutes on a trail.  Pretty yellow flowers this week :)
