Thanks Jen! Several years ago, I was walking five miles a day and I
loved it. I was thinking back and wondering how I ever got motivated to
do that, when it occured to me that I walked with my sisters! We had a
set time, and I knew if I wasn't there I'd be in trouble! So thanks for
reminding me...I am going to make some calls today to see who I can con
into helping me out!
