Building a treadmill desk

Awesome! Did you do a weigh-in prior so you can keep track of progress there too?

To be sure.....

I've decided that my goal is to walk my way to Disneyland Resort. When I "arrive" (in about three years) then I will take a celebratory trip to DLR.

I plan to track my progress using a website I'm building.

It will include:

My current weight
Total distance walked
A Google map of my progress
Blog type stuff
Treadmill Desk forums

To help pay for my trip I'll be dumping all my pocket change into a jar for the next few years. Perhaps I'll add the weight of the jar to my statistics.

What a fantastic idea!

That's a cool idea. I think I will walk the distance to Cold Stone (about .6 miles) and when I "arrive" I will take a celebratory trip to Cold Stone!

Yes, but will you get to pay for a four day park hopper with a bag full of loose change?

Results from Day-1:

Yes. I can walk indefinitly at 1.0 mph and not work up a sweat.

Yes. I can do this with out annoying anyone else in the office

Yes. I can focus and do real work while walking

Total distance walked today: 3.32 Miles.

At that rate it will take me 794 days to reach DLR.

Working 5 days per week, 49 weeks per year = 245 days / year

So around about June of 2010 I will be DLR bound. Hopfully DCA will be cool by then.

Oh and there is now $0.32 in my DLR fund.
