AND THE REASON IS?

If you read yesterday’s blog I said I’d tell you the reason for the walk.

And the reason is. (Drum roll please.)

We joined the Walk the Line >>>>Steps Challenge.

Every January the Bodenhamer Recreation Center has a challenge. They also have challenges throughout the year but I think they have this one specifically with Snowbirds in mind.

We love this facility. There is a multitude of classes/activities.

They put out a new schedule every month but it usually remains quite consistent.

Amenities include:

INDOOR HEATED POOL WITH LAP LANES
AQUACLIMB WALL
OUTDOOR CHILDRENS WADING POOL
FITNESS & WATER AEROBICS CLASSES
WEIGHT & CARDIO ROOMS

GAME AREAS
INDOOR WALKING TRACK
SAUNAS
MENS & WOMENS LOCKER ROOMS BOYS & GIRLS LOCKER ROOMS RACQUETBALL COURTS

TENNIS & PICKLEBALL COURTS

REGULATION SIZE GYMNASIUM

Wowzers. Quite the spot. More than we’ll ever use. Plus they offer even more programs. Too many to mention here.

So back to yesterday’s reason.

The Challenge: Walk 190 miles or 380,000 steps in 60 days. (They state an average of 6,333 steps a day will accomplish this.)

Cute catch phrase: Walk our state’s width while reducing yours!

Ha! I’ll believe that when I see it.

Off to a great start. So far we’re ahead of the game. We’re walking more than the recommended daily steps. To keep track they have a binder at the main desk where you can record your steps but you can also email them your steps for them to do the recording. Pretty easy. Of course I keep a spreadsheet on my phone and input them each day for my own personal account. Then record them at the rec center the next day.

And my music selection? I mean really. How could I not use this song.

I Walk the Line – Johnny Cash

Stay safe and healthy.
