Walk to New York and back

  • While keeping stats at my sons football game tonight, the gal who takes pics was wearing the pedometer I want. So I asked her how she liked it.

    She said she really liked it, but the best part is, a group of people from the small consolidated school, with 2 sites, one for elementary, and one for jr. hi/highschool had a contest among teachers and other employees.

    They walked from Potter and Dix, Nebraska to New York and back! About 20 people participated.

    What a fun contest/challenge. I just thought it was really a cool thing to do.

    Back to your regularly scheduled program.
  • That's pretty cool!
  • what kind of pedometer was it.?
  • I'm going to risk sounding really dumb here.
    Do you mean like "Run, Forrest, run!" where they set out, followed by a car & lots of water bottles & cheering well-wishers, and stayed in motels at night, and actually did this?
    Or were they logging miles & using a map?
    (That destination would not work so well for me. It's a little less than 20 miles from where I live to the center of Grand Central Terminal on 42nd Street. I'd have to pick a destination in Nebraska.)
