Today is National Walking Day, a relatively new commemoration of this great activity. Before I laced up my walking shoes I heard the radio announcer proclaiming that a mere one hour of brisk walking will increase your life by two hours. Well, that’s a great ratio and it’s a great pastime. Your only cost is a good pair of walking shoes, and maybe some type of vessel to tote some cool water as it gets warmer. The pedometer is not really necessary because you can just as easily map out your route on Google maps, but it is fun to know just how many miles you can rack up during a morning of running errands and just even walking around the house. You can strive to stride the 10,000 steps per day that Michelle Obama encourages, but that many steps is a whopping five miles! Feet, don’t fail me now!
