Hi Fellow Blubber Bloggers,

As you all know, I had planned to have a Walk Across America Challenge, and with all that has been going on, just simply have not had time to complete my plans for it, most importantly the graphics that would have made it fun to see how far each time had progressed.  However---I just found a really cool website that is very similar to what I had planned, and would make this really easy for us to do.  It will even let us do it as teams so that we can compete as I had originally planned.

Please check out the site at http://www.4woman.gov/whw/woman/index.cfm and let me know if you would like to be a part of this.  I know that we are registering late, but we can still see which team can go the furthest toward their goal!   You do need to have a pedometer to do this or a conversion chart if you don’t have one. I haven’t looked yet, but I would bet anything there is a chart on the web somewhere that would convert miles to steps for those of you who don’t want to purchase a pedometer.  I bought one that is very accurate for $15 a few weeks ago, so they aren’t terribly bad price wise.

If you are interested in participating, please let me know asap, and we’ll divide into teams, get registered, and get walking!  This ends on July 7, so we still have a month that we can have fun with this.  I sure wish that I had found this site sooner, and I wouldn't have had to try to reinvent the wheel!!!

Hugs to all,

Kathy, Your Blubber Blogger Moderator
