So those are the formalities. Now for the giggles. Here’s a David Letterman-style list of the “Top 10 signs you have participated in the UNMC Walks to the Olympics Challenge”: <\/p>\n


10.<\/B> You get depressed when you accidentally leave your pedometer at home because of all the steps you don’t get to count.
\n
9.<\/B> You habitually walk in place when you get near elevators.
\n
8.<\/B> You see the term “London Britches” and no longer double take.
\n
7.<\/B> You know who Mandeville and Wenlock are.
\n
6.<\/B> You know exactly how many steps it is between your desk and the bathroom.
\n
5.<\/B> Your belt has permanent clamp marks from your pedometer.
\n
4.<\/B> You don’t let co-workers fill your water bottle for you because it robs you of steps.
\n
3.<\/B> Your kids no longer think it’s weird when you do laps around the living room.
\n
2.<\/B> Your carpet has indents where you march in place each night to get your daily step count to the next 100.
\n
1.<\/B> You are the only person in your family who actually knows what day the Olympics start.<\/p>\n
