Recently I posted about tracking miles of exercise in a pseudo pioneer trek, and promised a PDF telling how many miles from Nauvoo to each stop along the Mormon trail. Well here it is. I left a space where you can make your own notes about what happened at each location. First stop, 7 miles to Sugar Creek!
I've discovered as I have begun my exercise trek, however, that like 'the old gray mare' I "ain't what I used to be, many long years ago...". Since posting I have worked hard and gone a total of two miles. Two Miles!! At this rate I will be very old before I 'reach the Salt Lake Valley'. This is not having the motivating effect I'd envisioned.
So instead I am going to track how many minutes I have exercised. One minute=One Pioneer Mile. Not very impressive, maybe, but it will hopefully keep me motivated long enough to make it past Winter Quarters. ;)
For more info on the pioneer trail you can see this awesome map at LDS.org.
