My sister has thrown down the pedometer challenge gauntlet. She’ll put up the prize- a small gift of her choosing- for the person who takes the most steps from 6 a.m. Monday Sept. 8 to 6 a.m. Monday, Sept. 15.
We’ll check in mid-week, on Wednesday morning, via the comments to let everyone know how […]

Way to go MARTY!!
Marty had 72,002 steps for the week, which means that she managed to get 10,000 steps each day of the competition. I managed that only one day and that was because I was at a festival. Seriously, Marty, you earned your wine stopper. I’ll talk with the artist (aka the husband) and […]

It’s time to calculate all those steps and prepare to report in! I’m looking for everyone’s numbers VIA EMAIL (not in the comments) after 6 a.m. Monday morning. Send them via email just to make sure everything is nice and fair- no one sees your numbers until the winner is announced. I’ll publish the numbers […]

How’s it going, […]

I’m writing this early, in anticipation of tomorrow’s big start. I wish I could be there with each of you to encourage you as you wake up, put on your pedometer and prepare for a week of walking. Then I would trip you and get a head start on all the walking.
My plan is to […]

A great response from all of you about the pedometer challenge. I’m so excited, and I’m totally ready to kick some butt.
As for the rules- just log your steps each day on your own. We’re on the honor system here, folks. On Wednesday I’ll put up a post asking everyone to log their total steps […]

Long time readers ( all five of you) will remember last summer’s pedometer challenge between my sister, mother and I. It was so much fun and really encouraged us to get moving more every day. Best of all, it allowed us to call each other names which is really the fun of any competition, […]
