Walk toJamaica started September 1

So yesterday was the start of Walk to Jamaica (sorry we are telling you this today rather than yesterday). Our goal is to get to Jamaica in 6 months. Jamaica is about 2600 miles away so if we go 100 miles per week we will make it. Each minute of exercise counts as 1 mile. If you want to challenge yourself you can say that mild exercise equals 1/2 mile and rigorous exercise is 1 mile but it is up to you. I will be emailing everyone a spreadsheet that you can keep track of your miles on, if you don't get it by the end of the week email me. We don't want anyone to make it to Jamaica in a couple of months and then stop exercising so you are not allowed to get ahead of where we are supposed to be, you are only allowed to catch up or stay on track no matter how much exercise you do (of course we all self monitor this so you can do whatever you want and if you really want to get ahead, no one is going to stop you). We picked Jamaica because it was the right distance away and we thought it kind of represented a vacation/doing something for yourself so when you make it to Jamaica you get whatever reward you have decided on. We were hoping everyone would write in and say what their reward was so that it was set and we all knew what we are working for. I also thought it would be fun for people to write what their fitness goals are so that we have more incentive to complete them. This is all optional of course. One last thing, could everyone who is planning on trying this please let everyone know so that if we send something to the walk to Jamaica group we don't leave anyone out or bother anyone not doing it?
