A huge Thank You 2011-2024 13th Year Anniversary
ABOUT:
In 2011 information about walking was not as popular as it is today. I used to keep a 'favorites' bar and whatever I found about walking I would save to my 'favorites' bar. I kept adding to it and the links kept growing. There were articles and websites on walking and I was trying to save them so I could go back to them otherwise I would forget what the links were to the information about walking.
I wondered if there were other walking nerds who would appreciate a website about walking. In 2011, I built a free Weebly Website and called it All Things Walking. Now there is so much information about walking it is hard to keep up.
Now we have Walking Colleges being offered in some states and America Walks. Walking clubs, Meetups, books, movies an amazing mix of walking related information. Walking advocacy is a huge part of the walking movement.
I consider myself a walking nerd and my website is an eclectic repository of information about walking. I even have a tab about Walking Info history which is about the websites and things about walking that are no longer in existence.
How do I gather my information? Much of it comes from my Facebook newsfeed. When I walk with friends I will overhear someone mentioning something they found on a website and I will ask them for more information. Often I will browse on the internet and see what comes up about walking.
I am fascinated with long trails and walking thousands of miles but I don't know if I could ever carve out the time to do those longer walks. This summer I committed to hiking the Oregon Coast Trail in sections over a 3 year period.
Walking touches on all aspects of our lives. We walk from the time we wake up in the morning until we go to bed at night. Babies somehow learn to walk, it's part of something larger than ourselves, that urge to be upright and to move with our feet.
Our ancestors migrated by walking and crossing land bridges. Walking in marches in protest or forced marches is a huge part of our history. Native Americans walking the Trail of Tears, walking to hunt and gather food.
Walking infiltrates all aspects of our lives and our history. That is what I find so fascinating.
My hope is that you enjoy my website as much as I enjoy adding content to it whenever it crosses my radar.
