    Is anyone at Revolution Health participating in the National Women’s Health Week WOMAN Challenge?  Its a virtual walk across the
    country (U.S.) as part of an eight-week physical activity challenge.
    Basically you are supposed to try to walk 10,000 steps or get 30 minutes
    of moderate exercise every day.  See more here: http://www.womenshealth.gov/woman/index.cfm

    I am going to do it, or at least try to.  They have sort of virtual
    teams to participate in it together and I created one.   I signed up for the cross country route which
    starts in San Francisco. Of course since its virtual, anyone from
    anywhere can join.

    That’s a TERRIFIC idea, Trisha! I just joined and started a team. In order to add members to my team I need to select their name from a list. If you’d like to be on my team, please let me know what your username is on the Woman Challenge site. If anyone else would like to sign up, please post your username so I can add you too!

    I was wondering on the recent article by Laura Winchester why she did not mention yearly dental exams, on her list of what tests to have yearly. There was no area for comments on this article- but it reallty is important to take care of our oral health as well, Thanks!!
