RULES

Rule 1: you don't talk about walk club.(joke)

This is for extra ( above and beyond your daily life ) miles.
This means if you wear a pedometer and you count your total daily steps you must walk extra in order to compete in the challenge.

Rule 3: Honor system. Please do not lie or round up your miles.
If you walked 2.9 miles then put 2.9 miles.

Rule 4: do not over do and injure yourself

Rule 5: Have fun!

Sorry to hear your getting such bad, cold weather. Right now the weather is pretty good here in AZ. where I live. The north part of the state got some snow yesterday. Tomorrow and Thursday it's supposed to get cold here. Maybe only in the 50's for a day or 2.
Have fun everyone!

Its 7:54 pm here and i was just out the roads are glazed in ice! its so bad.. no work tomorrow haha.
 
Good thing you don't have to go to work tomorrow. Driving on ice covered roads is not good. I have always lived in the southwest. I once moved to the mid west where it snowed and after one winter I moved back here.
 
Yeah, well no walk either, its still crappy here... i walked around the house for a bit but forgot to ware my Pedometer.... DOH!!!! lol yeah well 0 for the day

Great job Guys! really racking some miles up!
 
It was too cold outside for me today. Only got up to 42 here. We're having a cold spell for a couple of days and it was windy. For days like this I use my treadmill. By Sat. it's supposed to be back in the 60's again.
 
I just read the OP again, I've put in the distance I walk from home to work (1.5 miles) and the distance I then walk home from work (4.25 miles) for a total of 5.75 miles a day. I have no included my steps for the day or any other mileage gained from just my day to day activities at work etc- is this alright, as those 5.75 miles are I guess, part of my daily routine now...

Today it is suppose to get up to 43 degrees, so I may get to walk outside today. I am looking forward for my next walk outside. Tonight it is suppose to show a bit and be back in its 20's, and snow a bit tomorrow.
