Coming Soon - April!

It's not too early to start thinking about your April Walking Goal!

Remember the heart of the challenge ~ to aim for a little more than you might do, otherwise.

Here's the new April challenge banner:

Feel free also to set multiple goals ~ my personal hope in these monthly challenges is that my walking will become a habit, that I will be a woman who walks. So I have a mini-goal of 10 miles a week (5 days, 2 miles per day) but I aim for walking 6 days a week, and making 50 by month end. I also have a goal for 2006 to walk 500 miles. I re-did the ticker-picker code so that it isn't month-specific anymore, you can use it for a weekly goal, monthly goal, yearly goal, whatever!

Other things that are (hopefully) coming soon:

• A List of April Walkers!
  
• Reviews of Walking Videos
  
• Occasional (weekly?) encouraging posts / thoughts / tips
  
• Weekly check-ins for those who want to "come together" to share our progress
  
• An encouragement email for those who want it

  
  I'm hoping to walk that fine line between making a useful site for the Challenge, and not spending tooooo much time online! :)
  

How can we encourage you in your walking? Drop me an email or a comment with your thoughts and suggestions!

If you'd like to sign up for the April challenge, again either drop me an email or post a comment ...
there are three options (that I can think of!) to join -- you pick what suits you!

1.) please link my blog so others can stop by & encourage me
2.) I'll give you my email so you can gently pester me, occasionally
3.) I'll give you a name and my goal, but I don't want to be linked or pestered, I'll comment when I want to update the site with my goals

Lastly, if you haven't read it yet, check out the What IS the Walking Challenge?! post for what it's all about.
