As a crow flies, it is approximately 7563 miles from Chicago to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Ethiopia is the destination for my family, God willing, within the next year. You see, my wife and I have recently began the process to adopt a child from Ethiopia.
To help pass the time, To help feel that progress is continuing when the process seems to grind to a halt, to help make the 'adoption' journey more tangible to us, my wife and I have decided to log all our fitness miles. Every mile we walk, swim, bike, or run counts. Our goal is to reach 7563 miles. The distance to Addis.
7563 miles is a considerably larger sum than the 1888 miles to Guatemala City, Guatemala. Guatemala City was the location of our first "Destination" journey. Given that we have hopefully less than 1 year, it is going to be a giant challenge. Although everything in life is a challenge.
With your prayers and support, we will take it one mile at a time...
Peace
