In theory, the Five Hundred Miles to Nowhere project awards ducks for every 10% of the goal, or 50 miles. My own Walk to Nowhere project isn’t really aiming at 500 miles, only 160 (but, see below), which would make 10% only 16 miles. Nonetheless, I want to take on the 50 mile threshold for ducks.
So … quack! 
Yes, I have actually walked 50 miles (according to my pedometer) since I started this a couple of weeks ago. Indeed, my average miles per day is 4.36, rather than the 1.37 miles per day needed to meet my goal. And if I were walking 4.67 per day, I’d actually hit 500 by the end of the year.
That almost smells like a challenge …

Tee hee.
Isn’t it alarming just how much pleasure is to be had from goofy yellow pixelated duckage?
Kudos on the mileage, ***Dave–it’s amazing how keeping track encourages that extra little bit of walking, eh? Me, I find it really does pay off–it’s not about a sleeker bod (although that can be a side effect) but man oh man, the difference it makes in my outlook … best mood elevator out there.
I often wonder if there’s a link between our skyrocketing depression stats and our ever more sedentary lifestyles.
An interesting thought. Certainly (legitimate) achievent drives confidence to some degree.
