175

175 years ago, John Deere made the first steel plow.
175 months ago, I was dreading the shuttle run in PE and learning Flight of the Bumblebee on the piano for my 8th-grade talent show.
175 days ago, I was emailing my old professors to let them know I had decided to pursue a doctoral degree in speech pathology.
175 hours ago, I was mourning the conclusion of a fantastic vacation in Chicago and trying to assimilate back into normal life, with varying degrees of success.
175 minutes ago, I was eating a quesadilla and chopped veggies (celery and red bell pepper) for dinner.
175 seconds ago, I was listening to my roommate sew our Halloween costumes.

And 175 weeks ago, my life changed when I decided to start walking 5 days a week. Now, 175 weeks and 5 miles/day later, I'm still at it. I am so grateful I had the wherewithal to make that commitment and stick with it. It has literally changed my life.
Here's to another 175 weeks, well let's be honest--here's to walking 5 days a week FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. Oy. 5 miles 5 days a week. Will it ever end??? Truthfully? I hope not.

175!
