Race Center Virtual Challenge - This site provides Running/Walking Challenges. Though registration is $40 per person which is not affordable with our budget, I offer it up as a concept on how we can expand the concept of Walker Tracker. They are doing virtual runs.

Tips from MESD's Top Walker Trackers
I'm a competitive person and after being in the challenge for a week or 2 I decided I wanted to see if I could win or at least get into the top 3. I love walking and when I'm in nature I can just keep going. Being active is very important to me.
—Peggy Sedlak (who had 40,326 steps in one day!)
I walked quite a bit, but also this fall I have spent many tens of hours doing heavy yard work. I used Walker Tracker's "convert an activity" feature to calculate the equivalent of the labor into steps. I am motivated by competition, and liked seeing my screen name high on the list.
—Clay Kelleher
I have a Fitbit, which makes it very easy to track my activity. I join a lot of step challenges through the Fitbit, and that keeps me motivated. I walk most days on my lunch hour, and on bad weather days, I like to use the treadmill in our exercise room (love it -- thanks for making that happen!!).
—Cheryl Craig
On my birthday, I set a goal to run 100 miles/month until my next birthday. Breaking that down into smaller chunks (25/week) makes me feel very accountable. Some months, I run just one mile at the end of the last day to squeeze in the 100th mile.
