Where in the world are we?

Well my friends and fellow travelers, we are in the Atlantic Ocean somewhere, about 500 miles off the east coast. We have traveled together 1325.23 miles so far! We only have 4879.77 miles to go! I think we can do it. Keep logging your miles, keep encouraging family and friends to log their miles and intentionally get exercise. Go for a walk with your family as the flowers come up and the trees bud, see God's beauty....then count all of your miles towards the walk!
Let's together, keep seeking to be healthy and take care of theses bodies that God has given us!

Devotion for Week 3

How far have we travelled?

Well according to all the information I've been given so far, we have travelled 384.31 miles! However that number is probably not up to date because I don't have many of your miles from last week, only from the first week. So please get those miles in! I realize this is spring break for most of us, but all the more reason to keep exercising! We still have about 400 miles before we reach New York City!
May God bless you and energize you as you journey forward this week.

Devotion for Week 2

How far have we gone?

Well folks, according to the miles I have been given from last week so far, we have gone 151.95 miles! It was a short week and I know there are some who have not logged their miles yet.
Remind friends to log their miles in weekly so we can have a continual update of where we are.
Keep up the hard work!
