Travelling The Country Challenge - Sign

Starting 1/1/07, we'll have a new fitness challenge, you can use this thread to sign in and ask any questions.


I also started a thread for the actual log in the challenges area, so starting the 1st, please post there.


What the challenge is all about:


We are working together to travel across America. Every minute & mile of collective exercise will be tracked on the map and we will see our progress as we travel through the country. We will be visiting each other and when we arrive to a place where one of the members are familiar with, they'll take us on a tour. We will start from the far west and travel all across the country to the east. I'll include a detailed road later.


Rules:


There will be a weekly thread where you post your exercise.


ALL EXERCISE COUNTS!!


Log the miles you have on any cardio machine you use, or if you know approximate milage of your walks, log them.


If you're wearing a pedometer, log your steps


If you're doing any other type of exercise, log in your mintues.


I will convert all exercise to miles by estimating that an hour of exercise = 3 miles. Math is my department, so just log in whatever you're doing and I'll convert it.


What you need to do:


Reply to this thread and tell us who you are and where you are (to include your town in our 'road'). And if you have any suggestions


Move (that's that whole point)! Exercise! log it!

I'm in - stationary bike, step mill, swimming, walking, weights...

I'm in Boston, Mass - so I'll help Wendie with the tour of the birthplace of the American revolution...

But Mary, you are getting out of this easy (not really, you're doing all the math) but how about we 'start' with a tour of CAIRO and then 'fly' to the west coast?

I bet we can make it to Boston by spring!

I'm thinking up the healthy snacks for our walking tour of the Freedom Trail!
