edpaffjr.comLast week it was a segway, this week I found out that a guy is attempting to walk across the US. This morning I was watching our usual morning program, the Today Show, and eating my standard breakfast of eggo waffles when I became distracted by this story. A 400+ pound man became tired of his overweight lifestyle and decided to start walking. He left Oceanside, CA on April 10th and started off walking around 10 miles a day. His pace was very quickly slowed because of various medical issues, but those seem to be taken care of. According to what they said in an interview this morning, he has lost over 50 pounds and is about half way across Arizona. He said that he thinks he can complete this journey to NYC around November or December of this year. If my numbers are correct, he would have to walk close to 15 miles a day to finish by the end of the year. Follow his story here (site is currently slow).
