10,000 Step Sunday

My goal is to walk at least 10,000 steps a day, so at least once a week I invite you to walk with me. We can accomplish 10,000 steps in about 2 hours of walking. Location will be posted the day before.

NEW: BRING SUNSCREEN, hats, water and other hot summer day-related items for comfort. I am very burnt.

GOOD WEATHER

We will walk through light to medium rain, snow, and other medium conditions. Here is what I advise you bring to maximize comfort:

• Good walkin' shoes made for walkin' cause that's just what they'll do

• Anti-rain gear like raincoats. • Layers in case the weather is all the things • A bag to put things in like layers you are no longer wearing • Tissues, gloves, water, little bit 'o money in case you want a coffee

BAD WEATHER

I will cancel the meetup before noon if the weather forecast predicts weather I don't fancy. If I have not cancelled the meetup and it's ultra crap outside, I will have a game we can play indoors for a little bit. Expect that sometimes we might just call it early. If it rains halfway through the walk, we can turn around or finish half the walk and find a place to stay dry and play.

STILL CAN'T DECIDE IF YOU SHOULD GO OR NOT?

Come anyway, even if the weather sucks. It's either not as bad you think, or it is as bad as you think, but it doesn't matter, because you are out of the house now and playing games instead of whatever else you were going to do.

FINDING EACH OTHER

For first timer's, there's always this awkward "is it that group?" moment. If you don't want to deal with it, text me at the number provided to verify that it is indeed us.

We will not wait very long at the meeting spot. We will be leaving at 1:15 sharpish. If you are late, it's OK! Because in this walking meetup, you can always just walk to us as we are just walking in circles.

LOCATIONS

Locations will change every week. I use a random route selector called route loops and it will decide where we go. If you would like to suggest an area to check out, post it here! We are Exploras. Let us know if there is a place to stop in the area for warmth or food, if the area is "difficult" or "moderate" in terms of slopeyness and energy. I will post the map and the step by step directions by the day before the event.

THINGS THAT DON'T HAVE A CATEGORY

• I suggest taking pictures of unusual or funny or interesting things we see in our journeys, or things we like, like birds or strangers.
