I just sent you an email, Kelly...I'm looking forward to it!  Especially since I'll be swimming laps three times a week - easy to track the distance when you do laps!  This will help motivate me to go. :)  Between my FitBit and swimming, I'm hoping to do better than I did last year.  (Although actually, I walked way more this time last year than I am these days now that I have a car, and have been so insanely busy at work.)

Oh, I forgot to mention how much distance I'm hoping to cover per week.  I swim for half an hour or so and generally do about 30 lengths of the pool in that time.  The pool is 25m long, so I guess that's 3/4 of a km, 3 times per week.  Hmm, that's not much, is it. LOL.   And my FitBit steps usually average out to around 3,000-6,000 steps per day (and on the odd occasion I'll reach 10,000 steps).  So if I figure on 5,000 steps per day, that would be around 3.5 km per day, and around 25 km per week. 

So, I'm thinking I'll probably be around 27 km per week, but hopefully this challenge will inspire me to do more!

I have a jawbone up(like fitbit)..does the regular every day activity we do count towards our mileage? or is it just the "extra" stuff we do on top..im a pretty busy person so if I was counting my jawbone steps I would have a lot of miles in a week

People who use fitbits have all of the walking they do included, so I would say count everything!

I am late on this....but count me in....

 

I am guessing on steps - miles per week.....but I will be doing lots of golfing soon.....figure 20 - 25 miles per week

 

Edited to change miles to Kilometers.....figure 30K per week Kelly...that should be conservative
