So, I prefer walking over running. I am trying to be a runner, but having sprained my ankle, it has put a damper on my training. But I am wondering, is it really that much more beneficial to run? I admire those who go out every day, or almost every day, and walk. I am trying my hardest to be one of those people!

Every step does count. Thank you for following my blog. I need to repost it here more often. If you haven't checked out my main page, you can find it at 12MillionSteps.com.

Jared - I think this is an amazing idea and I like to follow your blog to see how you are doing. I'm not much of a walker...I get bored too easily, but I did recently get a pedometer and was thinking about wearing it just to see how much walking I get with daily living and trying to bump that up 10 to 15%. Every little step counts :)

It is roughly that much for me. It also depends on your stride.

Okay, I joined... but I set my goal at 1,000,000 steps. Thinking of anything more than that makes me want to die.

It's fate! My husband just brought home a book about places to walk in our city and the metro area... I think he is trying to tell me something.

Does anyone else out there like to walk as much as I do? So far I am a group of one.
