As I am approaching a big birthday I am thinking about the mileage. I wonder how many miles I have traversed on foot walking through grocery stores, before my marriage I walked through countless airports for my job and then through the streets of France during my mission. I walked to elementary school every single day, rain or shine. I walked to and from Jr. High almost everyday - it was a little over a mile away from our home. For the last 10 years I have woken up early almost every week day to walk 2 - 3 miles. My walking partners have changed but I have loved the walking.
I've never been a runner. I bet I haven't run 1/100th of the miles I have walked but this weekend I will participate in a 4.2 mile charity run. I don't think that I will be able to run the whole thing but I am going to run as much as I can. I did a trial run on Monday and I still can't walk well - I am very sore. But those 4.2 miles will be mileage I will add to my belt with pride.
I know I accrue a lot of mileage in the car. I make countless trips to schools, games, orthodontist/pediatrician/dentist/optometrist's offices, scouts, grocery stores each month. Miles, miles, miles. My suburban recently turned over an impressive number of miles and I took a picture
How are you racking up miles?

Good for you doing the Pat tillman run! Travis wanted to do that! I am horrible @ running! I dont understand how people run... I have been walking every morning, and i walk one circle and then run the other one, and I feel like I am a chain smoker old lady. I am so out of breath, and my lungs just hurt! Not to mention my butt just jiggles all the way up my back!! HA, ha...
Good luck in the run !! I think my car has that many or more miles too. What if we had a counter on things like how many diapers we've changed, dishwashers emptied, loads of laundry etc. ?
Good luck on your run! You are fabulocity to me. Love the picture.
Wow - some miles. This week, my van hit 111,111 and Austin noticed and pointed it out. Thought provoking post.
How did the run go? I am so proud of you!!! :) xoxo DeAnn
