Walktober sounds great. I take the challenge. My dog will thank me too.
I need to get back into the habit of daily walking. I lost lots of weight years ago when I started walking. Since I quit I gained it all back. I need to get back to it. October, Walktober sounds like the time to start.
My husband and I started walking in the spring, and we have continued. Sometimes only 1-3 miles a day, but every little bit helps. We both have lost weight and feel better. Excited to join others to keep our momentum going into the fall.
As part of its focus on on walkable communities and pedestrian safety, the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) is hosting a website mdot.maryland.gov/walktober with information about Walktober and Walk Maryland Day, which is Wednesday, October 6th! Check it out when you can!
Walking is a good way to relieve stress.
Walking in Garret County in the fall is beautiful! Hello Tyson
Enjoyed a lovely run/walk through Broadford Park on this beautiful Autumn evening. ?
Even though I was traveling today, I still got my steps in! It’s always super hard on travel days, so I count this as a win. 10,000 steps ✔

Autumn is my ideal time for long walks, cooler temps, and beautiful scenery. It’s a win win!!! =)
We plan to take our puppies on all of our walks this month. They surely have plenty of energy for it!
Hi Tyson!
What a great idea. I will do the best i can to post my walks that turn in to runs 🙂
I love my walks with friends in the mornings and evenings it helps in so many ways.
The town of Oakland has wonderful walking spots!
Walking great way to start your day.

The old adage “Move it or lose it” should be changed to “Move it AND lose it.” Keep moving friends!
