Houston goes head-to-head with Medillin, Colombia
Did you know that Houston is participating in a one-day competition?
Mayor Bill White is asking citizens to exercise as part of a world-wide contest.
The "Challenge Day" competition has Houston going head to head against Medellin, Columbia to see who can do the most exercise.
This is not a joke:
Challenge Day 2006 is a fitness contest between Houston and the rest of the world. Its purpose is to encourage individuals and groups to "Get Moving" by exercising for 15 consecutive minutes on this one day ... all in the name of health.
This year Houston is in competition with Medellín, Colombia to see which city is the most physically active on this one day.
