Popping into your feed with a reminder that tomorrow is October 1st, which means—*drumroll*—it’s time to start walking together!
This will be the SIXTH edition of the Cool Bloggers Walking Club.



For anyone new to my blog, this is a twice-yearly walking challenge I’ve been organizing for the last few years in October and April.
We’ll be aiming for 10 minutes of intentional movement every day in October. Here are a few important—but perhaps non-obvious—details:
- There is no blogging required! You do NOT have to be a blogger to participate. In fact, many of the people who join in do not have any online presence.
- Walking is the default activity, but anything goes. I will virtually cheer on anyone who is dancing, stretching, running, marching in place—whatever gets you moving counts for this club.
- There is no need to aim for perfection. We’re looking for participation and connection. If you miss a day, please keep walking/moving!
If you enjoy tracking things, I’ve prepared a simple printable that you can use as a source of extra motivation.
My planned posting schedule will be:
- Week 1 Recap: Thursday, 8 October
- Week 2 Recap: Thursday, 15 October
- Week 3 Recap: Thursday, 22 October,
- Week 4 Recap: Thursday, 29 October
- Week 5 Recap + Wrap-up/Maps: Thursday, 5 November
If you’re interested in having your walks included in the recap, send me that information ahead of the dates listed above.
I will post a single picture per person—or better yet, a collage* (bonus points!)—and any relevant details about your walks by these dates.
*Unfortunately, I’m no longer creating collages from participant submissions, so if you have lots of pictures I am THRILLED to display them, but will need you to do the heavy lifting, so to speak, in terms of creating a collage.
- Who’s in?
- Any questions?
