New Challenge

Soon... Today we had the Shock Trauma Get Fit people down at the other building. They will be visiting THIS building next week. They have the Get Fit Program... and I am going to try to attach the details below. BUT, in a nutshell, this program is $10 per person or $7.50 per person for a pair or team. The cost includes a pedometer (they say it is a good one - they did a lot of research and paired up with a pedometer company to get one that is more accurate than most...) a gym bag and a log book. Everyday you log your steps in, and once a month they come by and drop off incentives that Kristy then distributes to everyone. They have contests and stuff like that too. So - I can have whoever I want join with me. All I need is your $7.50.
