Operation Walk 4 Freedom

I signed up on post yesterday for the Walk 4 Freedom. It gives us left behind a goal, a chance to exercise, a way to connect with others, and a way to support our troops. Basically, I will be "walking to Afghanistan" within the next year. I figured it up and it amounts to 10 miles a day(7 days a week until 15 June 2008). It doesn't have to be walking--can be any exercise then "converted" to miles. It also doesn't only have to be exercise--they want us to focus on our total well being so things such as participating in the community, spiritual activities, classes, etc. also count as miles. I have my log book ready to track and turn in monthly and we were given a fitness assessment at the beginning and will have one in the middle and the end to see how we progress. It is going to be a challenge, but I'm excited about it!! Wish me luck!

Congrats! That sounds awesome! Orion and I are on a health kick. Eating organic and healthy foods only, if possible anyway. We've been walking around Albq quite a bit, but I need to start doing something more for a workout. We're on our way to being healthy people! Good for you!
