Just Keep Walking, Just Keep Walking

I have joined my sister-in-law in The Challenge to walk 100 miles by the end of the year. Care to join me on this challenge? I have been walking 3 miles on the days that I don't have Jazzercise and attempting a 5 mile trek on the weekends. So far I am up to 14 miles- only 86 to go!! This is where I think of Dory whispering in my ear- "just keep walking, just keep walking!" Actually, I turn to one of my favorite quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson for inspiration: "What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." I use this time to reflect on my journey and what lies within. What is your inspiration?

Mom, you can do it. You only have to do one mile at a time! You would be amazed how good you'd feel after your body got used to it.

Wow! This is such an awesome challenge! I SHOULD do this but not sure that I will. OHE-HUNDRED miles!??! Whoa. That seems like an eternity. Ha! Do you have a pedometer or how do you track your mileage?

Ok, as I told Amy my pedometer, better known as " LIE-O-METER" says I have 32.37 miles. I think it is cheating for me!!! It also says I have lost over 10 pounds (wouldn't that be wonderful). Anyway I think it's up for a replacement, as it is not reliable. What do you have to spend to get a dependable pedometer that tells the truth? This one cost me $13.00. I'm willing to go PRO if necessary. Love Ya
