I didn't know that today was National Walking Day until my city's parks department told me about a promotion they were having in honor of the day. All you had to do is walk three laps around the track (a mile) at the main city park, and you'd be entered into a drawing for prizes.
During the Park Office hours they had snacks and water available. Hubby Tony and I didn't make it to the park until after dinner, but they had also made accommodations for people like us. After we finished we took pictures of each other standing by the park walking trails information board, then emailed them to the City's Recreation Supervisor so we could still be entered into the drawing.
The weather was nice, and Tony and I probably would have walked anyway, but it was nice to get recognized for doing it.

What a fun idea. I knew today was Walking Day, but nothing special to promote the day going on in my area :-(
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can come up with an event for next year.
DeleteHappy Walking Day!
ReplyDeleteThese boots are made for walking.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
As long as those boots don't walk all over me, I'm good with that.
DeleteGood for your city!
ReplyDeleteYes, they really went over and above with this one.
DeleteMaybe you will win a prize!
ReplyDeleteWalking and getting a reward, maybe. Good combination.
ReplyDeleteI always seem to miss participating in these fun events like National Walking Day.
Oh well, maybe next if I mark my calendar.
