I agreed to be apart of Julie's 500 Mile Club and I have developed a plan in which I am certain to come out victorious and one that will hopefully encourage the rest of you into joining My idea of a 500 Mile Club. I have converted everyday situations into miles…
Dusting for 30 minutes equals a half a mile
Washing the windows for 30 minutes equals half a mile
Filling/emptying the dishwasher or doing the dishes for 30 minutes equals a half a mile
Vacuuming for 30 minutes equals a half a mile
Sweeping for 30 minutes equals a half a mile
Moping with a mop for 30 minutes equals half a mile
Shoveling for 30 minutes equals 1 mile
Mowing the grass for 30 minutes equals 1 mile
Raking for 30 minutes equals 1 mile
Gardening for 30 minutes equals a half a mile
Hoeing for 30 minutes equals 1 mile
Wrestling with children (putting on winter apparel constitutes wrestling) for 30 minutes equals a half a mile
Sledding for 30 minutes equals 1 mile
Folding/putting away laundry for 30 minutes equals a half a mile
Because it is necessary to count for something…
Scrapbooking for 30 minutes equals one tenth of one mile
And last but not least…
Blogging for 30 minutes equals one tenth of one mile
I am convinced that if you calculate all of these events and the number of times they are actually performed everyone could complete 500 miles worth of activities in a reasonable amount of time, all of which would count towards gaining the bodily figures we so desire. Creativity is the only way I can successfully accomplish this task.
Please feel free to add other suggestions into my comments. Now get moving and start tracking your 500 miles.

I like you're thinkin' mama! Great ideas! When I saw the 500 miles , I thought, that would take me like 500 days on the Wii Fit! But if I include those,I could do it. Especially wrestling children into winter clothing and carseats! That is truly a workout! I'm so inspired.
Does mowing the grassing on the four-wheeler count for half a mile?
Rachel-if it gets you away from the boys for a while and you can catch a tan, I say it counts, but maybe only a quarter of a mile per half hour.
