Goal attained.

Hello all, Well today I met my personal goal of having walked 2000 miles by the end of the year. I have tracked my mileage since August of 2006. I average about 120 miles a month. I feel somewhat selfish when I spend so much time walking, but I feel that it is necessary for my mental as well as my physical health. Thank you all for your encouragment throughout the last year. It has meant so much to me. May you all have a prosperous New Year and attain the goals you have set for yourself. Life is great, Rick

WOW!!! Good job. Thanks for the inspiation you provide us. Beinda

Thank you Belinda, Have a great day, Rick

OK - you are the official MALE poster "boy" for MARCHer's!!!! What a great goal to have achieved...I am so proud of you! How did your Mom do during Christmas - is she still in the hospital? Congratulations again...Barbara

Barbara, Wow, a poster boy, I'm all a blush. I went to see my mom Christmas day. She is in a rehab hospital trying to build her strength back up, but now she has pneumonia. The good news is that her mental faculties are back in order. For awhile she was pretty far out there because of all of the medications she was on. Thanks for your support and encouragment, Have a great day, Rick

Janine, Thank you. Have a great day, Rick

Hi Rick, Congratulations, that is fantastic! I still haven't gotten a pedometer, looked at some again yesterday though. That is really cool to be able to see how much you have walked and to be able to set a goal and reach it. 2000 miles is awesome!! Going for 3000 this year? ;)

Ruth Ann, Thank you. Keeping track of my walking helps me to remain accountable. I don't really have a specific goal at this time, but I do want to continue walking. Maybe I need to figure out how far it is for me to walk accross the country and that will be my next goal. Have a great day, Rick

Be sure and ask STYLZ...she must have a handle on the number of miles we have come so far! Or go to mapquest.com and come to NH and see STYLZ, myself and Stephanie Smiles!
