Ok, so if you check out Julie's blog, you will see, she adds this funky little map that shows her where she is from home.  She sent me the step by step instructions on how to do it and basically, I am so inept, I cannot figure it out.  I haven't given up, but it's not simple enough for me to be confident that I have it worked out to post.  I think?!?! I am somewhere near St. Catherines, ON.

I must fill you in on a little point that just further confirms how dumb I am at geography.  I always think everything is more North of me.....like for some strange reason, I figured that in order to meet her half way from Florida, I would need to go "up" on the map!  FACE PALM!  Then I looked at the map and was totally shocked that the route took me "down"  OF COURSE IT DOES DUMMY!  Heck, I have even been to Florida and I KNOW the USA is below Canada...why is it that it didn't occur to me.

Anyway, I am still behind, but SLOWLY catching up.  My favorite number to write each week is my KM TO GO!  It's great to see that number going down!

Check back next week to see if I can do it again!

***EDIT***

 

Thanks to my walking partner Julie, it turns out I am not in and about St. Catherines, but have actually left Canada and am slugging around Buffalo!  She even did me up my maps so you can see....she's awesome I tell ya!
