A few weeks ago a friend told us about the Governor’s wife, Dr. Susan Lynch, and her involvement in Walk NH, a program to get children to execise more.
There is a limit of six people per team, so we have two teams, Wendy’s “Team Wanna-Walk” and my “Team Nozell”. As of today we are up to 36 and 43 miles respectively.
Only about another 150 miles to put in before June 1st. Gotta go walk another mile lap around the neighborhood…
