join us in a virtual walk/run/swim/bike around the world
Starting January 1st, the miles you walk, run, jog, swim or bike can take you on a virtual trip around the world.
Conscious Living Project along with local individual and business sponsors have organized a distribution of discounted pedometers to all participants to help them keep track of their miles. Participants sign up by completing a form at http://www.computercoop.com/earthwalk.htm
Luke Lundemo, a project coordinator, said “We want to promote exercise as a key component to good health.” “We want to make exercise fun and to promote the creation of supportive communities around exercise.”
Starting January 1st all participants regularly record their miles through a form on the website. The miles are totaled up and progress is recorded on a virtual route around the world. Participants get fun travelogue emails every couple days with pictures and stories of virtual events along the way. Anyone can join the event even after January 1st.
Last year there were 338 participants from 15 states and three countries. Project organizers hope that as many as 600 people will eventually join in the project.
