Anticipation

I finally get to walk out West in the incredibly breathtaking state of Utah. I was so excited about the walk when Subway of Utah asked me to come out, that I ordered the state magazine and I had forgotten just how beautiful Utah is. I visited Utah in 1996, over 12 years ago. I have seen Zion National Park and Canyonlands National Park - I have even visited Salt Lake... but I had forgotten about the mountain views! Gorgeous!

This "Border to Border" Utah walk will be a challenge in several "different" ways for me compared to living and walking in Florida.
1. Utah does not have high humidity like Florida does - so the dry heat will be a major change. I will need to stay hydrated and wear a lot of moisturizer!
2. Utah's elevation can reach up to 4000 feet above sea level; where I live, I am at sea level. The higher the elevation, the lower the oxygen.
3. Utah has the desert, Florida has the palm trees... 2 different worlds!

The one thing we all have in common is the need to get fit and stay healthy! I personally want to thank Subway for seeing the vision and for having a heart to get behind my efforts to take my life back. Now with Subway's help I want to encourage others to put down the fork and put on their walking shoes! Please start taking the steps that are necessary to take back your life!!

I am looking forward to walking in the cities and communities of Utah! I hope that you will check this blog often as I walk from "Border to Border." Come walk with me when I'm in your city!
