Well, it's not really 500 miles, it's more like 280. That's 5 miles a day for 8 weeks, or 10,000 steps for 56 days. What ever way you want to break it down, that's what I'm doing.
The 5th Annual WOMAN Challenge started on Mother's Day. I did it last year for the first time and had a really great time. My sister, Mom and a couple of friends all joined the same team and we encouraged each other (via email) to walk our butts off! Of course it's just a self-enforced thing, sort of like NaBloPoMo - it's all about the ability to say that you did it!
So for the next 8 weeks I'll have my handy dandy pedometer on my belt, making sure that I'm doing all my steps! And if I'm running a bit short one day, there's always shopping or "Dance, Dance Revolution" (I don't see why that can't count)!
Now for the standard "I'm a sucktastic blogger lately" speech - but the whole work thing is taking up waaaay too much of my time (like I don't have personal things to do during the work day!). I have succumb to the Twitter phenomenon, so if you're desperate for more Mandy Lou - you can follow me there!

All the world is twittering these days,I think. One of these days, I may look into it. I have a lot of voices itching to break out of my head during the day!
Good luck on all your steps. I say if DDR doesn't count, there's something truly flawed with the world!
Love this idea. Seems very doable!
i want one of them walky step thingamajiggers.
you can do it! put one foot in front of the other....
I also have fallen into the twitter abyss. I have no energy for blogging because of all the tweeting. I can't help it! It's quick, and great for those with ADD (me).
That WOMAN Challenge is a very cool thing you're doing. Keep us posted!
