227 Miles Remaining

Now I am just 227 miles from completely circling the globe on this #toddlingaroundtheworld journey. Five years and 5 months since starting the virtual walk, I have completed 16,483 miles. The plan is to finish the remaining 227 miles by the end of this month. I need to walk almost 9 miles a day to complete it. I found the perfect route, to get back to where I started from - where I grew up in Sandy, Utah. It is 225 miles (as the crow flies) from Rexburg to Sandy, UT. This will take me back home and I will dedicate this last piece of the journey to the family I grew up with. I have amazing and loving parents, and each of my siblings are so special to me. The memories we have and continue to make together bring me such happiness. I’m excited to head back home and finish this journey with each of them. Over the past couple of months, many of the miles have been churned out on the treadmill to evade the cold and rain. I was able to finish a couple of different #treadmillmoviemarathons - The first was Marky Mark Movies: 12 movies 1,532 minutes, 3.3 MPH, 84.15 miles, for a grand total of 3 marathons The next was what I am calling ‘Disney Plusicals’ (Disney musicals that are available on Disney +): 16 movies 1,960 minutes, 3.3 MPH, 107.8 miles, for a total of 4.1 marathons

Nosh N Walk: Week 49

#millersnoshnwalk week 49: We had the pleasure of hanging out with the Scurvy Dogs Book Club on the last day of the month. We had some trouble getting the gang together this month, but squeaked by on 2/28 to keep our streak alive! Going into our 11th year of the book club, we have met every month and have now read 129 books. This past month we read The Lincoln Highway, by Amor Towles, it was a good read. We met up at BBQ Pete’s and had some fantastic BBQ and invited the Scurvy Wives. I had a prime rib dip sandwich and LeAnn had the ‘Sandwich with No Name’ - sliced brisket, cheese and crispy onion straws. They even had free soft serve ice cream cones! So good.

Missionary Marathons: Sister Dummer

While on my Journey to complete walking 24,901 miles of #ToddlingAroundTheEquator, I am focusing these walks on the amazing missionaries that I know that are serving around the world. I am dedicating walking a marathon of miles for these missionaries and tag them as #missionarymarathons. I am so grateful to these faithful missionaries for dedicating their lives to teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ! This week I have walked 26.2 miles for Sister Dummer, who is serving in our Ward. We have had the privilege of having her over to our house for lessons and for dinner. It has been great to get to know her and see her beautiful smile and the love she has for the Gospel. She has been in the mission now for almost a month, and I can tell she is going to help change so many lives for the better as a missionary!

I am so grateful to these faithful missionaries for dedicating their lives to teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ! These past few weeks I have walked 150.4 miles for Elder Brendan Murphy, who is my nephew. (Gotta go a few extra marathons for my family!) I decided to walk the distance between the first two Cities he has served in in Finland, Turku and Lahti. Brendan is a special man, with a beautiful smile. He is intelligent, kind and thoughtful. It has been a privilege to watch him grow up and become such a man who is now serving the Lord with all his heart, might, mind and strength. It is an honor to be his uncle. Here is a bit more about Elder Murphy, so you can get to know more about him and why h...
