Tonight I walked for an hour in our neighborhood. It can be hard to walk for that long in a neighborhood as small as ours without heading out onto some busy roads. I wasn’t in the mood for that. So, I passed […]

I try to encourage people to walk for exercise. I get excited when I see fairly new walkers just starting an exercise program. I know how hard it is to get started and stick with it. Good for them! It is especially […]
