Alexandria to Chicago by way of Indy Challenge

This race is a GIFT!  Can you get from Alexandria, Virginia to Chicago, Illinois?  We've done the math, all you have to do is the work.  Take on 777 miles of exercise of your choice (running, biking, walking, jogging, kayaking, cross country skiing, etc) to complete the challenge. Explore the virtual mountains as you cross over from the east coast to flat farm lands filled with the smells of cows and corn.  Yes this is for fun, but with a hint of healthy competition.  How far can you go?
