How Far Do Feet Go? (Part 2)

On July 3 I began keeping a record of the number of steps/miles I walked in a year. At the end of the year I want to plan a trip to somewhere that's the equivalent distance from home that I have walked. (You can see my daily, monthly, and year-to-date totals on the left side of my blog.)

July 2009: 354,930 steps = 152.48 miles

WOW!

I will admit that in the beginning I was getting a little bored with this idea. It seemed sort of mundane to me. Then I began checking my pedometer off and on during the day to see where I was in my step/mile count - competing with the previous day's count. Tonight when I totaled the step/mile count for July, I was stunned!

Now .... I am on a mission! I can't wait to see what the year-to-date total will be at the end of August!
