Great Wall Fun Fact
The myth: you can see the Great Wall of China from the moon.
The facts: Once you get beyond an altitude of a few thousand miles nothing man-made can be seen, therefore the Great Wall is not visible from the surface of the moon. It can, however, be seen from a low orbit, but the same can be said for highways, ships in the sea, railroads, cities, fields of crops, and even some individual buildings.

Another 3 kms for me. Spring is coming! I am down to walking in a light jacket and shoes now - so much nicer than Sorels and parka, etc. :)

I'll say 4 kms for me. I went for a 3.5 km walk then went to the Gardenscapes garden show and probably walked a couple of kms there but didn't check my "mileage." I put on a dress today that I had quit wearing because it was too tight - it is almost too loose now! The scale doesn't show much of a difference so I must be converting fat to muscle - whatever it is, it feels great!

Great Wall Fun Fact
While we're walking the Great Wall I thought we should learn something about it! Here's today's Great Wall Fun Fact.....
It used to be called the Ten Thousand Li Wall which referred to the wall’s length. (1 li equals half a kilometer or one third of a mile).

Another 5 km for me. It is a good workout Norma! I really hope my mileage is accurate. I've based it on the mileage of someone from my DTC group who's been wearing a pedometer to her aerobics class.

3 more kms for me. The In Motion Challenge from work ends today. I hope I can keep this up 3 or 4 times a week!

Five more km for yesterday. I wish I was doing 5 km/day Norma! The mileage is so high just because I'm doing a 40 minute high impact aerobic workout (but only twice a week!)
