Walk Across Texas results

Well, after eight weeks of walking, the totals are in. Our home school group logged a total of 2,765 miles, which is the equivalent of traversing Texas more than three times. My kids and I had a total of 476 miles with my 15 year old son, Carlin racking up 144 miles on his own.

We enjoyed Walk Across Texas and plan to participate again next year. It was nice spending time as a family project and also having an exercise routine. So if you haven't started an exercise routine, start one now. It will make you feel healthier and more energetic!!
