Eddy has added a ninth foot to the collection and a particularly large plastic piece to add to the group. There are quite a lot of feet making up this necklace and adding another orange foot certainly gives it some weight. It is a very impressive assortment of plastic feet he has acquired this year. The real weight came from one piece that he earned quite recently.

Yes the big blue 100 piece that Eddy got to add to his growing collection of formerly only feet. This piece is awarded once the student walks 100 miles. He has been proud of his accomplishments up to this point, but receiving a special piece for hitting this milestone was certainly a big deal.

The weather has gotten nicer and Eddy is able to ride his bike to school now. He has slowed down on bothering to show up for walking having reached the magic 100. This is not to say that he is not still doing the walking, but it certainly is nice to sleep in occasionally with the school year winding down. He is also participating in the conditioning workouts at Archbishop Hoban High School twice a week, for football, so exercise is not something lacking in his schedule.
