During February, we finished the borders of four more states and added over 4,500 miles.  That’s not bad for a month with only 28 days, and many of them had a snow cover on the ground.  We have now completed 36 states and a total of 27,028 miles.  We have easily passed the halfway point and now have “just” 19,731 miles to go.  It is still a huge task but one that I know we will complete.  

If this is the first time you’re reading about our school wide challenge, why not join us?  This challenge is for you if you are a current or former member of the MPA community, or an extended family member.  Any miles that you complete on foot, by self-propelled wheels, or in the water count towards out total.  We are attempting to cover the combined border mileage of all 50 states.  We do not have a deadline, just a purpose.  Please consider adding what you do for yourself to that of this bigger cause.  Your fitness is important as is our combined collaborative effort.

With spring just down the road, think about getting those running shoes out or getting the bike ready for action once again.  It is never too late to join us, and it is never too late to start on that road to better physical fitness.  Come join us – we’d love to have you!  Send any miles or questions to the address below.  Hope to see you around the neighborhood!
