I am looking for some friends and hope I can return the favour to all of you. Last Monday I descided that I was going to make a distance goal for my walking from now until Labour Day. Through a series of calculations, lol - don't want to bore you all, I descided to shoot for 360 km in the next 4 months(18 weeks). I am off to a pretty good start and will be going out to walk very soon after posting this. Keep up the good work everyone and I look forward to getting to know you all.

Newbie Posts: 58 Group: Friend Member #145 Joined: May 3, 2008	Hi, as you can see from my ticker I am still walking. Have met my weekly goal each of the last 4 weeks and doing good this week. Shy, I don't use a pedometer, I tried them once but didn't really work for me. But my husband uses one. I just use the site, RUNNINGMAP.COM to figure out the length of my walks. It is a really neat site. When you go there just type in your town, or even your address. If you walk trails alot you might have to chose the map setting called 'hybrid' as it will show all the houses, trails, buildings etc. I find that setting much easier to use. Will try to get back here more consistently.

Newbie Posts: 58 Group: Friend Member #145 Joined: May 3, 2008	Thank you Princess, Teach and Nic. I walk outside all the time. I would love to have a treadmill or elliptic but to get a good one is not in the books, probably ever, lol. I have used them when I used to go to the gym though. Well I failed to meet my 20k goal last week, was 4 k short. I partly blame all the rain, lol, but know that part of it was just me too. So I am adding the missing 4 k from last week to this week to see if I can make it up. Today did 5.28km in 51 minutes.
