    This challenge has inspired me to start walking home from work. While I originally thought the two mile+ walk was too difficult to do while wearing work clothes, I have sinced learned it isn't that bad and actually quite enjoyable! I am #proud of myself and hope I can continue doing it even after the challenge is over.
