Amongst my goals for 2010 is the near-obligatory Get In Shape. However, I know myself well enough that I need more directed, concrete goals if I’m going to actually accomplish that goal. I had been kicking around mileage goals for a few days and had just about settled on trying to walk/jog/run 500 miles in the year when I had an inspiration: Chattanooga is 450 miles away. So, rather than an arbitrary distance, I’m going to walk to Chattanooga. Metaphorically.

I’ve put a couple lines in the sidebar of the ol’ blog, denoting how far I’ve gone and how much farther I have to go. I’ll post a weekly summary, too, including highlights of the trip. After two days of walking, I’m just over 4 miles. I passed the yarn store earlier today and am less than a mile from getting on the interstate.

Honestly, I expect to be done with this goal *way* before the year is out, but that’s okay with me. I can always come up with a new goal once I get to Chattanooga. Maybe I’ll go visit my friends in Michigan. Or Seattle.
