[CyberTOPS] miles walked to Flordia

[Jo Yewchyn]

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to send you an update on my mileage on our million mile
challenge.  I have walked 706 miles since Aug 1, 2008.  I have only 294 more
to go.  Yeah for me, I am so happy that I have made it this far.  When I
started to track my steps in Jan, 2008, I could barely move.  I was lucky that
I could get in 500 steps for the day.  The more that I tracked the steps the
more I wanted to do better then the day before.

Then I joined Suzy's pedometer challenge.  At first I was slow, but I started
to increase my steps.  Not sure if it has something to do with being
competitive with others or if it was within myself.  I am moving more now
although I do have some days where I just can't so as well as other days.  The
weather does have some restrictions for me.  I don't have any equipment at
home to exercise with.  I will find myself sometime dancing around the house
just to get myself moving.  I can't wait until the snow is gone and it starts
to warm up around here.  Today is a nice day then we have been having.  Its
-25 Celsius with the wind-chill.  I have decided that I will be getting out
today and walk around for a bit.

I want to thank you all for your support over the last year.
