It’s Employee Learning Week 2007 @ PLCMC. Today’s topic is Healthy Bodies = Healthy Minds.

What would you do with an extra day of vacation each year?
Spend time with family.
Get a head start on some holiday shopping.
Take a day to rest after completing a big project.

So how can you get the extra day off? It’s as easy as pie—or walking off that pie!

Sign up for the Fit City Challenge.

*Speaking of pie, how long does a 150lb person have to walk to burn off a piece of apple pie?
Email the correct answer to Jody Schmidt by Friday, December 14 to have your name entered in a drawing for a prize.
