City Walk Groundhog Day, 7.0 miles

This time it isn't actually Groundhog Day!! Or isn't it? As Bill Murray discovered there are a lot of things we could do: we could walk around the golf course six times, or around the Reflecting Pool ten times, or 30 times around the McGovern Gardens, 16 laps around Miller Theater, or some combination of the above. This will be a great chance to get out of the mid-winter rut and enjoy the weather depending on what the groundhog predicts for us.

How well does the groundhog predict Texas weather? Texas Weather

After the walk we will have a cool down at Bodega's which is relatively nearby. Come on out and enjoy the weather with new friends and old.

Wear light colored, loose fitting clothing, comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water. The heat in Texas is always a concern so let someone know if you are having a hard time.
