GETTING STARTED
Welcome Everyone!
Come walk with us! From Delaware to the Golden Gate Bridge in California. A total of 5,048 miles!! Can we do it? YES! We can!
Start Date: August 31, 2009
Kristy and Applie have started this blog to encourage each other and you, to take a walk across the USA. We’ll visit some American Discovery Trails along the way without ever leaving our home towns. 
How are we going to do this? Well by following the Webwalking program.
There are two good things about this program:
- It is free! and
- You don’t have to leave your home.
First decide you are going to do this and sign the linky below.
Then choose how you want to track your walks. Pick from logging minutes, or steps, or miles, then print off the log sheet. You will use this to log your daily trek down the trail. I, The Applie, and Kristy will be using the step log.
Don’t have time to walk or even want to go out for a walk? That’s ok too. Kristy found a conversion chart for changing other activities into pedometer step counts. I know I will be using the Stationary bicycling (moderate effort) – 6364. That’s pretty cool, if you ask me! Are you into Ballroom dancing? They have that too! Ballroom dancing – fast – 5000 I have two left feet so that won’t work for me, unless there is a count for tumbling to the ground. That must have a few step counts. Go check out the conversion chart.
Once you have printed off your log sheet, next print off the Webwalking USA Map. Keep it somewhere handy, like on your refrigerator or glued to your forehead, if you are like me. Color in your distance each week. It is a fun visual tracker.
I don’t know how long it will take us to walk across the USA, so I say, “We get there, when we get there!”.
When you reach our destination, I ( The Applie), will send you a certificate with my hand written signature on it. Honestly, how can you say no now? So get your pedometer, get walking clothes on, slam on those sneakers, and get walking! If you need a good pedometer, this is the one that Applie and Kristy are using.
The journey begins Monday, August 31st, but I have left the sign up for one week. I am sure there will be some who will sign up after the 31st and that is ok; they might even catch up with us. lol
