Went to our ward's father and son's to visit a few friends and listen to the program, then went back home Did a quick 2.16 mile walk with 417 feet climbed in 40:59 minutes while I was up there...the first mile of the Flying Monkey Trail, then back. Mostly it's used by mountain bike riders to basically jump off a 1500 foot cliff, but I didn't go that far ... Tortoise rating: 2.0; calories burned: 338.

Valley Academy Charter School has been doing something very similar to what my granddaughter Chloe did last year at Healthy Learning Academy near Gainesville, Florida ...walk a marathon (26.2 miles) in little pieces of a mile or so many different days, leading up to the final mile. Today was Valley's final mile, and I came by and walked with students, teachers, parents, and others who were interested in this. There's some more pictures when you click below to keep reading, on the way to that I will tell you that I did a second walk later in the day, and the total of both was 3.42 miles with 61 feet climbed in 56:57 minutes, an average tortoise rating of 5.7, and 560 calories burned. So please go ahead and click below, and we'll see you again soon ...
