I'm the kind of gal who says, "I want to do that," and goes out and hikes/bikes/runs from Key West to Canada giving theatrical performances and staying with host homes all along the way. I've traveled to 37+ countries, been inspired to reach at least 52 by my aviation pioneer grandmother who got 51 (Jerrie Mock), and run 10Ks in every new country I visit -- aiming for another five this year.
