WOMAN Challenge

This year, I am participating in the WOMAN Challenge (Women and Girls Out Moving Across the Nation), which is an eight-week walking challenge to walk at least 10,000 steps or exercise at least 30 minutes per day.

You walk a virtual route, depending on where you live - mine is Millinocket, Maine to Georgetown, Delaware. At least once a week, you log in your exercise activity, which moves you further along your virtual route.

And they even send you a nifty little pedometer.

I've been doing pilates/yoga/cardio on weekday mornings and walking around the lake next to work several times a week already, so I think this is do-able. I doubt I've been doing 10,000 steps a day, though, so it will be interesting to see what it takes to get up to that.

The only time I may mess up is in June, since I will be doing scriptfrenzy at the same time, but I'll worry about that later.

The Challenge officially starts tomorrow, Mother's Day, and runs through July 8. Ugh - walking outside in July heat; good thing I have a treadmill at home.
