I Would Walk Five Hundred Miles

... and I will walk five hundred (or) more ...

As of today, I have walked

in 2006.

I award myself with this shiny gif. Being a quitter at heart, this is quite an accomplishment!

I wish to thank my family, for not falling to pieces while I was walking in their midst. My husband, for letting me buy pedometers and endless walking videos. My dear friend Rosanne, for beginning the monthly challenge in the first place. The guy at the hospital wearing the "I walked 1000 miles" shirt who was the inspiration for the larger goal. Leslie Sansone for cheerfully encouraging me, day after day, without ever growing weary. And all of you who have encouraged me, especially when I was flagging, slumping, slouching, and about to give in. I couldn't have done it without you.
