I found a nice site to help me map out my route. http://walkjogrun.net gives me a Google map with tools to draw and measure out my route. I’ve developed a preliminary route. I’m not ready to post it just yet, but I will once I’ve decided it’s right for me. One of the functions of this website is a calculator at the bottom that gives me information about the route such as the amount of time to walk/run it based on an average speed I provide. It also tells me how many calories I can expect to burn. The calorie count floored me. My current planned route has me burning over 4000 calories! That’s important information to know, but it never occurred to me that I would expend that much energy. This is reinforcing my need to prepare for this walk/run and not just to “take off” on October 31th. Meagan has already started gathering info on how to prepare and she assures me we can do this.
Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
