Walk Across Texas Update!!!

Fifteen teams are participating in Wise County Extension’s “Walk Across Texas”.  “Walk Across Texas” is an eight week, fun and fitness program for teams of up to eight people.  The teams have a friendly competition to see who can log the most miles walking, jogging, biking, spinning, treadmill, swimming, or other physical activities.  The purpose of the program is to have every person who participates take home a healthy habit - walking for fitness.

Our 2013 teams have really been busy - so how are they doing after week five? As a county group we are more than a third of the way of walking around the world.  As of April 11, 2013 walkers have logged 9921 miles.
