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.
Posted by Kim at December 28, 2006 11:27 AMooh, nice shiny gif. too bad I know how to make those things, and that it doesn't require walking, or I might be motivated to get some exercise myself. :o)

Posted by: dale at December 28, 2006 1:17 PMI am SO PROUD of you!!!!!! I only made it to 359 miles, but I would have done far fewer without our friendly competition. Onwards to 2007!
Posted by: Rosanne at December 28, 2006 2:47 PMCongratulations! What an accomplishment!
Posted by: Erin at December 28, 2006 3:32 PMCongratulations, Kim! I'm glad you reached your goal. And you deserve the nice shiny gif.
Posted by: Theresa at December 28, 2006 3:42 PMWooHOOOO!!! Way togo, Kim! I'm so proud of you. I originally joined the walking challenge, and I didn't walk 500 miles. (but I think I ellipsed 500 miles, does that count?)
Thanks for being an inspiration!

Posted by: karen at December 28, 2006 4:59 PMCongratulations! 500 miles. Wow. I wish I would remember to wear my pedometer so I could keep track of how much I walk. Though it's nothing close to that.
Posted by: Michelle at December 29, 2006 1:32 AMAWESOME, dudette!! You ROCK (er...walk?)
Posted by: Peggy at December 29, 2006 10:44 AMYay! Great job, Kim! As a fellow quitter, you've inspired me. I can't wait for 2007, when I can start my own challenge. Being a procrastinator, I'll just go ahead and wait. After all, 2006's miles don't count in 2007. lol :)
Posted by: Barbie at December 29, 2006 1:42 PMFANTASTIC gif image, and oh yeah, good goin' on the mileage. What an accomplishment! I'm envious.
