Jessie and I have signed up with a walking team who pledge to walk the 423 miles that equals the distance across KS.  The teams are groups of six and all members of the walking team split the mileage among themselves.  Its a pledge to be a healthier individaul and a healthier Kansan.  The program also incourages the particiapants to track their daily fruit and vegitable intake, and incourages getting your heart rate up along with information on how to read your heart rate.  We thought it would be a fun program to join.  Anyone who wants to take a look at what we are doing can visit www.walkkansas.org Since "Walk Kansas" became a state-wide program in 2002 it has grown from aprox. 5,000 participants to over 20,762 in 2007!  Jessie and I are excited to be taking part in the 2008 event.
