Get more info at: http://www.everybodywalk.org/app.html The Walking Site www.thewalkingsite.com/ Walking.org www.walking.org/ Iditawalk 2013 http://www.idita-walk.com/idw/Index.asp The Idita-Walk is an event to promote physical fitness in the spirit of the Iditarod Sled Dog Race. The Iditarod Sled Dog Race is 1049 miles long beginning at Anchorage, Alaska and finishing in Nome, Alaska. To complete the Idita-Walk, simply walk an average of 30 minutes a day for 35 days between February 1, 2013 to March 31, 2013 for a total of 1049 minutes (any combination of minutes and days will work - just reach 1049 during the 59 day event!). The following website landed in my inbox. It sounds interesting. It looks like they have a device that attaches to your bike and allows you to walk alongside your bike. When you are tired from walking you can get on your bike and ride back to your starting location. I'll let you be the judge on this. Walk-A-Bike http://www.walk-a-bike.com/ The Intertwine Get Wild in the City and Start Exploring Access to parks and natural areas close to home and work has become increasingly important to our communities' health and well being. The Intertwine Alliance is bringing together local agencies and groups to increase investment in The Intertwine. Alliance members are working together on five Alliance Initiatives: acquisition, active transportation, conservation, conservation education and the regional system. http://theintertwine.org/ This is a great website with info for walking, hiking, wildlife viewing etc... |

MOBILE DANCE/WALK
I like this video. I don't know if this will become popular in
Portland. The Willamette Pedestrian Coalition was offering this during the 2012
Portland Sunday Walkways programs. I'll keep it posted. It is kind of fun to
experiment with while out walking.
