What I love about walking

I am one of those folks who likes to walk long distances; on occasion I've completed marathon walks and, on three occasions, walks of 100 miles.

There are many things I like about such events, and this is one of them: the sights!





No, I didn't take these, and I wonder how the person who did avoid getting slapped. These appear to be taken near the Chicago Lakefront; I've finished three 50K walks there.

This person isn't an athletic walker, but she is still a lot of fun to watch.

Now I need to leave for my final session to help new walkers finish a 4 mile race (we have a program called "Building Steam"); the walkers I am working with are, for the most part, overweight and undermotivated. :-)
