To start this morning I was 33.4 miles from Trinidad and 1114.24 miles from New Orleans

Goal achieved -  10000 steps today for 5 miles!!  Lots and lots of walking and getting the offices set up at work before classes start.  5 miles worth!!

That puts me at 28.4 miles from Trinidad and 1109 miles away from New Orleans!!

Look at that beautiful zero!!! I am that much closer to making that 109 disappear, and then when that turns over the 1109 will become a 3 digit number - every step brings me closer to my goal!

 37.5 miles from Trinidad and 1118.34 miles to New Orleans as of the 8th

On Monday I walked 3000 steps for 1.1 miles and today I walked 3 miles for a total of 4.1 miles

Now I am 33.4 miles from Trinidad and 1114.24 miles from New Orleans

I am super excited to see that countdown right now!!  Watching the 14 turn to 0 and then the 100 turn to zero and the numbers switch over to 900's - it feels like a real accomplishment!!  I work tomorrow - so the goal is another 10000 steps - I got really close today <3 p="">
Mardi Gras - something to really work for.  I should start making a mask to celebrate <3 p="">

Oh dear...  Is it really August already?

On june 22 I was:  4.2 miles to Pueblo and 1171.34 miles to New Orleans

Now - over a month later... *sheepish grin*  I only have bits of data to report

I know the Ren Faire 3 times yielded 18 miles, Elitches another 3 miles for 21.  I know that getting set up for school I did 5000 steps walking between classes and building 3 times to get everything set up - that's another 7.5 miles for 28.5  Lets say with the weekends included I walked 2500 steps on the weekedays and 5000 steps on the weekends so 7500 steps a week - for 5 weeks that's 22500 for 12 miles - that makes 30.5 miles.  This week with my new job I have increased everything by alot.  Monday and tuesday each I walked 10000 steps - for 10 miles - wednesday I walked all over town and went to a concert at redrocks for an additional  8000 steps - so 15 miles including todays steps - so 45.5 miles in the last over a month.  That means I sky rocked past Pueblo and need to plot my course.

I am now 1125.84 miles away from New Orleans!!!  Lets see where I am on the map!

I am 5 miles outside of Farista Colorado - a tiny town with an A&W - I am going to get a root beer float when I get there!!  

I have 45 miles to Trinidad and 1125.84 miles to New Orleans!!
