Stepping Out on Second Street

As someone who has logged 100s of miles window shopping on Second Street, I was interested in Justin Rudd's new plan to get people motivated to walk and raise money for his Community Action Team. Every Wednesday evening in September and October beginning at 6:45 at Runners High, walkers will assemble to learn the direction of the walking route. Anyone who donates $5 to the Community Action Team becomes eligible for a drawing after the walk for half of the kitty. Walkers are encouraged to walk at their own pace, and everyone must sign a waiver at the first walk they attend.

The American Heart Association has a great program called Start! Heart Walk with lots of featured to keep you motivated on a walking program. It's free to sign up for their website which has tips, forums and 3 free online walks with my favorite walking instructor Lesley Sansone. Family Circle has many helpful features on its website including walking playlist suggestions from its editors.
