looking back at the walktober challenge 2011. One participants shares her story:

We thought we (our team) give this challenge a try: Not only were we walking, it was a great way of sharing and learning about new healthier experiences that we are facing through the challenge. 

We were also looking for ways to improve our fitness (i.e climbing hills, walking certain distances, or walking at a certain pace). We were walking constantly to shops, bus stops, to pick up print outs instead of sending someone else to pick it up etc :)))
 
Personally this online challenge has boosted my energy to where I am now. I have been walking already so the online challenge enabled me to increase my steps and gradually try and increase it daily over the course of the challenge.
We have a great team leader who continuously encouraged our team to walk more. The results during the challenge for me is; some weight loss and an increase in my energy levels. 
Our team (Vanuatu Eagles) is continuing to walk twice a week eventhough the challenge ended and we have other interested friends who want to join our team to walk.
Thank you for making it possible for us to participate.  And if there is another one in the future, please count us in!
Best regards
