Out of shape & lazy Options

[amysmojo]

Everyday I tell myself I want to start working out. But I never do! I always come home from work & get online or watch TV...& spend the rest of my evening doing nothing! Ya...no good! So here is what I was thinking...if your like me & need motivation to work out, maybe we can motivate each other. Whether you like to run, or walk etc. Lets keep track of it & see who can get the most mileage Since you all like to compete I figured this would be a good place to do it. Here is a chart of conversions so you can keep track of your miles:

walk 1 mile = 1 mile (duh)
run 1 mile = 1 mile (duh)
bike 1 mile = 1/4 mile
swim 1 mile = 4 miles
Rollerblade 1 mile = 1/2 mile

So who wants in on this? Come on I need motivation! It would start today & everyone starts with ZERO miles. We can post our progress as we go & see who can get the most "miles"

Its just an idea I had, if no one wants to do it then uhhh never mind I'll do it alone you lazy bastards

well there is a charity cycle event in july and its 205miles off road across 3 days, so its 80 miles each the first 2 days and 45 the third day.

Not sure if I will be fit enough by then but it would be nice to try. thats why i've started practicing.

bit poor this week, only did 6.5 miles on friday and same 6.4 on saturday.

And I can't see how biking is less than walking, I put more effort into biking than I do walking, unless you mean power-walking then it might be more. but normal casual strolling doesn't take hardly anymore effort than sitting watching tv i don't think! lol.
