Walk PC

“Walk PC” is a program at my school "taking a tour" of Presentation College’s locations.

The first leg of our walking tour was from Eagle Butte to Aberdeen (Presentation College headquarters). Leg two of our "tour" will be from Aberdeen to Sioux Falls; the college offers various degrees in Sioux Falls in conjunction with Kilian Community College. The next destination in our walking journey will be from Sioux Falls to Fairmont, Minnesota (ours!) Presentation College has had a branch campus in Fairmont since 2003. The last leg of the journey will be the long stretch from Fairmont to Eagle Butte. Awards are given at the completion of each milestone:

Eagle Butte-Aberdeen = 173 mi. by October 9, 2009 (PC Lanyard)

Aberdeen-Sioux Falls = 204 mi. by December 8, 2009 (PC Water Bottle)

Sioux Falls-Fairmont = 120 mi. by January 12, 2010 (PC T-Shirt)

Fairmont-Eagle Butte = 423 mi. by May 3, 2010 ($25 PC Bookstore gift certificate)

*A drawing will be held for all participants that complete “Walk PC” for the grand prize of a free massage at a day spa! oooo! :D An individual making the complete round trip will log 920 miles or 1,840,000 steps. If an individual is able to meet the 10,000 steps per day goal, the entire "trip" will have been made in 184 days.

Every semester Presentation pays for half of the membership fee at Martin County Fitness per semester, so between that and a busy life, I was able to complete the first leg of the challenge logging 370,734 steps which is about 182 miles. So I got the lanyard...but to my surprise, we also got a cute little shoe key chain which I like even better than the lanyard! heehee! ;) That's MY GREEN SHOE in the top pic! I love it! Heehee! :) The water bottle for the next leg is hardly a motivation, but the walking has been good for me and the possibility of a free spa massage at the end sounds like the perfect way to end our stressful junior year.
