It is free and other 'walkers ' might like to create their own and put it somewhere on their blog. I have put one on my blog if you want to see what they look like.

I have been inspired by it to do different one hour routes at roughly after-lunch time, as many days a week as I can (3.2 miles yesterday), plus longer walks whenever I can, and that's as well as cycling. Don't know whether I'll make 1000, but I'll have a jolly good go.

One of my favourites by far. Living frugally as you do, and sharing so much creative inspiration on your blog is fabulous, but you've taken it up a notch with the walking challenge. <br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795002783600929826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-68188574569794371612016-01-04T20:20:28.899+00:002016-01-04T20:20:28.899+00:00Hi.Whenever the 1000 mile challenge comes up I am ...Hi.Whenever the 1000 mile challenge comes up I am interested.As you know, I'm not officially in but still enjoy the news.We have a temperature of -24 this morning,and the sun is out.Such a beautiful day here.I walk regularly(25 years) to keep my body mind and spirit in good form and enjoy nature as I'm doing it,am not overweight,and have good mobility for a person with my health challenges.It's a great way to clear the cobwebs out of my head too.It's cheering to see so many people involved and your motivating everyone!There are many of your readers who are not able to though and you are sensitive to that too.Yup,that is one heck of a solid block of ice cream Ilona.I'd try letting it sit for a while on the counter...it's worked for me.Then maybe adjusting the temperature of the freezer.Happy hiking everyone,keep on moving!Bye for now,D.Destemonanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-66135533844609421182016-01-04T20:09:42.064+00:002016-01-04T20:09:42.064+00:00The hardness of the icecream is nothing to do with...The hardness of the icecream is nothing to do with your freezer temp, it's all about the air they whip into it during production. That's why you have to churn homemade ice cream otherwise it's just an ice brick. You don't expect an ice brick from the supermarket, disappointing.

I am going to count all of my walking throughout the day as tracked by my iPhone app. I will start out strong, but I will probably have a scheduled surgery between now and summer to slow me down a bit.

Today was just about one mile. But, with gale winds and several inches of snow blowing around my ankles, i wasn't about to go any further. (Does that sound like an excuse? Ha!) I am an ex runner but my mojo seems to have dropped by the wayside. I've gotten over 1000 miles running, but never walking. I think it's about time to remedy that! Thanks for all you do! It's so nice to have our own personal cheerleader!momsavnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-85744761982266544132016-01-04T00:02:57.800+00:002016-01-04T00:02:57.800+00:00I did my walk yesterday but didn't today as I ...I did my walk yesterday but didn't today as I spent half of today cleaning over at my sons house, his dad died earlier this year and left it to him. We are trying to get it habitable for when he leaves university. When we got home we had all the decs to take down and believe me that is no easy task. I will try and do two walks tomorrow but the weather looks to be naff. I am not too worried about reaching the target though as I will walk loads of extra miles in the decent weather.Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01049568808770731003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-72819623511202543822016-01-03T23:37:21.339+00:002016-01-03T23:37:21.339+00:00Once you get the ice cream soft again you can put ...Once you get the ice cream soft again you can put the ice cream container inside a gallon size freezer bag before putting back in freezer and it won't get hard again.Hidden Haven Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678859491656051958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-84574852344936501382016-01-03T23:07:10.845+00:002016-01-03T23:07:10.845+00:00Heavens it certainly looks solid.
