This walking challenge couldn't have come at a better time for me! I recently had to give up swimming while a strained rotator cuff heals (no reptitive motions with my arms allowed) and needed something else to pick up the slack. I've always been a walker, but doing the walking challenge with co-workers and readers is really inspiring. Twice already, I've been on the fence about adding a few steps to my day; knowing I could log in and keep track of my miles inspired me to move the bod rather than hop on the subway. (I did restrain myself this morning from hooking the pedometer onto my pyjamas while I made breakfast; that seemed a little much...then again maybe not!)
