I use Beewellmiles.com to track how far I walk. It's a cool website from Bumble Bee tuna. You walk, they give money to the Network of Strength, a breast cancer organization. Fifteen cents a mile, up to a million miles, or a $150,000. Now that's what I call a lot of money.
So tonight I realized that my training walks have taken me to Barb's in Louisville (as the crow flies) again. I think it's much earlier than last year. That's the middle number. So far my walking is $93 of the $150,000. Pretty cool since all I'm doing is putting one foot in front of the other.
The first number blows my mind. That's my training from 2008 and 2009. It does not include the 3-day because you can only log 20 miles a day. That broke down to 23.5, 22.5, and 14. So I opened Google Earth to see where I've walked to. (as the crow flies.) It turns out that it's someplace I always wanted to go...the four corners of America (Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico). Right in the middle of access to some of the greatest national parks in the country. By the end of training season I should make it to San Francisco, or maybe Mexico. Depends on how my crow decides to fly. It's a finicky crow. Like me, it get's sidetracked.
But playing with Google Earth gave me an idea. Maybe actually dreaming about going there I should actually do it. I'd have to keep training to be able to do all that climbing. No fundraising involved.
Anybody up for a roadtrip?
