    @toop Oooh. That makes sense. There probably is no off season for Disney.

    @toop How are the lines in October? I like to travel during “off seasons” in hopes that places will be less busy.

    @toop Damn. I wish my steps would’ve been at Disney. That sounds a lot more fun! Haha. But seriously, 40k is a lot! I couldn’t imagine that in the heat of Disney World.

    @dawn16 Now I’m really curious! I might start it sitting down and see how I do before listening while walking. Haha!

    @dawn16 Is it scary? I added it to my audiobook list for the next time I walk and now I’m not sure.

    @stardreamer First off, you are a badass. Secondly, 10k a day is awesome. So many people don’t ever hit that. I feel you on the boredom thing. I’ve started only watching Netflix on the treadmill so it’s like a special thing if I have to do my walks or runs indoor.

    @gigigirl16 That sounds like a great plan. Changing up scenery and terrain makes it so much less boring. And having your dog to motivate you at the end will be awesome!!

    @gigigirl16 When I did my 50k challenge in December I broke it up into chunks and that helped a lot! I walked three hours in the morning, rested an hour or so, and then spent the day touring a local town. I visited all the cute shops. Then, at night I did another three hours of straight...

    @gramm15 I am very lucky and my grandmother picks her up from school sometimes. However, I do have a wagon I pulled her in for about two hours of my adventure. She had her tablet, a bajillion snacks, a ton of blankets, and some coloring stuff. It was a good motivation to have her with me.

    @famof6 10k is so much more than a lot of people though! I wear New Balance Nergize. I will never own another running / walking shoe. These things are amazing. I just replace them when they wear out. I am blown away by how comfy they are.

    3 Things I learned walking 100,000 steps (48 miles!) in a single day, plus tips on long-distance walking:

    @iaen I do! I ate around 5,000 calories that day. Most of it was at night after I was done. The next day, I ate the rest of the extra calories. I usually burn 2,500-3,000 calories per day (I’m a runner / lifter) and try to hit at least maintenance so I can build muscle.

    @iaen Oh, and definitely start with 50k! I did 50k in December and it taught me a lot about the mental aspect. I’m glad I did it before the 100k. You’re awesome for going for it!

    @dawn16 I love the idea of going from library to library. That’s super fun. I might do that one of these days. I felt fine yesterday (the day after) with minimal soreness but today I collapsed getting out of bed. My legs just gave out. I rested a bit longer and now feel pretty normal. I...

    @mommamimi 63 miles is incredible. I wonder if I would’ve been able to hit even the 100k steps if I had done it hiking. Mine was all flat. It’s hard to imagine doing anything with incline/decline. Maybe I’ll give it a shot one of these days. My daughter is four so I’ve been staying moving more...

    @mommamimi Wow! That’s amazing. I can’t imagine going 45k more than 100k! How did you feel after? Bummer on the step count but that is truly an amazing feat!

    @stardreamer Yes! I watched all of You in the treadmill too. It actually made me run fast because it was slightly scary. Haha! It took me a year, but Parks and Rec was another fun one to watch on the ‘mill.

    @wilaywaly For sure. I started my fitness journey in February of last year. I started doing 10k steps a day until about July when I started running and bumped up my average daily steps to 20-25k. Then in December I attempted the 50k (successfully), and then this 100k. It was definitely...

    @faith2hope Today I literally collapsed to the ground when I tried to get out of bed. My legs just... gave out. It was super weird. Got myself back in bed, rested more, and then was able to hit the gym without issue. I felt normal the rest of the day but my feet are pretty sore/swollen still.

    @eternalsummer247 Do it! Especially if it’s going to be a nice week! Even if you don’t hit it, the experience is great.

    @stephygirl777 Today was amazing! I was able to run four miles. I looked like a newborn fawn and it took 45 minutes but yesterday I collapsed getting out of bed, so it’s progress.
