Race Across America

At my work, we are having a contest called Race Across America. Everyone who wanted to participate is in groups of 4 and the first team to walk 3,300 miles is the winner. Our team name is the Pink Ladies from Grease. The first 4 teams to finish even get prizes (and from what we hear the first place team is in for quite a bit of money). We wear pedometers to track our steps/miles and there are also bonus challenges that you can earn up to 500 miles on. For each team member that does the challenge and takes a picture showing they did it, they get 100 miles. If the whole team does it together and takes a picture of it then you get a 100 mile bonus for a total of 500 miles. Our team just finished the last challenge of the race and we are in first place!! We have about 2 more weeks to go probably until we're done. I can't wait to throw that stupid pedometer out the window when I'm finally done with this whole thing!!

Challenge #1 - Climb to the top of Green Mountain from Hayden Park

Challenge #2 - Hike Apex trail and take a picture at "scenic point" shown on map - we got lost so we just took a random picture on the hike, but we did eventually find the said "scenic point", I just liked this picture better so I decided to post this one

Challenge #3 - Hike Mount Falcon and take a picture at the White Summer House. I had to bring Madison on this hike because Nate was scouting this day. Luckily, Stephanie helped me carry Madison up.
