Walking Across America




Thursday, 9/24/09: This will be possibly the nerdiest blog ever. I doubt anyone will read it besides my family (hi Mom!) but I decided it would be a fun way to stay motivated in my walking for exercise. I started walking for exercise August 10. Since then I’ve walked 53.38 miles. With the help of this nifty website: http://walking.about.com/cs/measure/a/webwalkingusa.htm I’m taking a virtual walk across America. For the general interest of possibly no one but myself, I will ramble about the various locations along the route as I go.
Once I get done with this walk, I may try walking across some other countries, like Canada (http://maps.tctrail.ca/) and various parts of Australia. (http://www.human-race.org/community_new/wt_virtual.html)
All the pictures I put up will be of the actual places or people being described. Coming soon: a picture of my walking partner, Chowder. Or as I call him, my short, hairy, highly motivated walking coach. He does not let me miss a day. If I try to start skipping walks, there is a good possibility he might poop on the floor. Try finding that kind of motivation from a human coach.
