I have done terrible....I'm going to come right out and say it. There is about a month and a half left to go, and I am soooooooooo far behind, I might as well start over!
I'm not giving up....just facing facts that I am terrible. Perhaps Julie will be lenient on me and we can extend the deadline until the end of December!!!!!

How the frig am I supposed to make up that many km? I'm hoping to make a big dent on them on Wednesdays. I have those days off and now both kids are in school. From the looks of it, realistically I should be walking the entire day!
By the end of July, it appears that I have ended up in Kentucky. Let me say this though...while geography was never my skill....I am utterly lost here in the US. When I look at the Google map...I cannot tell where I am!
While I end this leg in Kentucky, it looks like I am camped out at an Airport. This nerds me out a bit and let me tell you why. For those of you that don't know me well, I lived in the Yukon Territory for 2 years. One of the jobs I held there was as an Observer/Communicator at the local airport. This job had me responsible for recording the weather every hour and communicating and providing critial information to airplanes, either passing through or landing. So I think it's pretty awesome that my random click on the map had me camped out on the taxi of an airport.

In August I am back to roughing it in the bush...I'm real close to the Kentucky/Tennessee border (or as best as I can tell anyway) Once I put my markers up on my map....I am much closer than I though. Hey, I might just do this after all!!!
Go Go Go! Push through it! Make every step count! :-) I'm rooting for you!! <3 <3 <3
