Proposal for a new mileage challenge

[wuapinmon]

I'm in if yall'll count walking. I haven't run since the 80's, and I won't get my YMCA membership until mid-September. I walk quite a bit even with the heel spur, and when I get in the pool, I'm sure I'll be doing some pool walking along with swimming.

If not, have fun.

I count walking on my team.... you're my first pick. If someone is generous enough to sponsor cripples we'll raise some money for charity.

Happyone can correct me here, but I believe that he's been walking as well as jogging - and he's one of the superstars on the team.

Yes. DrumnFeather as well. Walking miles have counted on the previous/current challenge.

Nuts. I wish I'd taken a pedometer to Florida. With Bataan death marches at Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Sea World and Magic Kingdom, not to mention two rounds of golf, Mrs. PAC and I would have put a serious dent in the Runners' lead. But we're back so we can start chipping away again this week.

No, you're good. We instituted what I've termed the VV-caveat that walking had to be done in increments of at least fifteen minutes consecutive so golfing and walking between amusement park rides would not have counted. It was just intended to not penalize those who weren't able to run without fear of injury.

I think that's a good rule. I should receive no credit for all the walking last week; my reward consists of the love and admiration of my progeny for being able to withstand 54 inverts on the various roller coasters.

I was extremely moved by the story that Teenage Dirtbag shared. I definitely want to participate in this challenge. Once school begins, I won't have as much time, but I will contribute whatever I can. It always helps me to run with a purpose, and I would love to be involved in a worthwhile cause.
