The Cool Bloggers Walking Club

It all started with Engie. She hosted a book club which, if memory serves me correctly, Birchie dubbed The Cool Bloggers Book Club.

And just like that we decided we were bloggers and we were cool.

There was the time I posted about the 12-3-30 workout and, thanks to Birchie again, it was promptly dubbed The Cool Bloggers Workout.

Then there was the Curried Chickpea Salad which originated…wait for it…with Birchie.

Dare I attempt to launch another Cool Bloggy Thing? (I clearly should be consulting Birchie first!)

Fortuitously, April 3, 2024 is National Walking Day. What better time to shake off the mental and physical dust from winter/adulting and lace up my sneakers.

For me the hardest part is always getting out the door (or, in especially unsavoury weather, on the treadmill). In an effort to move onward and upward, I plan to walk at least ten minutes each day in April. Because of how my life is organized I’m assuming many days I will walk far more than ten minutes, but knowing I have a plan to be intentionally active each day – and knowing the bar is set at a very accessible level – feels…comforting.

Now let’s swing back around to Birchie one more time who summarized blogging so perfectly: Blogging is kind of like going to a party where you don’t know anyone but then you start chatting and soon you’re in a roomful of friends.

Let’s walk together, friends <3

Who’s in?

P.S. Bonus points if you source some gold stars for the check boxes…

P.P.S. If you’re inclined to share, I’d love to get some pictures from people out on their walking adventures! I’ll plan to do a fun little roundup at the start of May.

P.P.P.S. If you have a dog you are clearly laughing hysterically at the thought of being purposeful about fitting in ten minutes of walking a day!

UPDATE:

1. This is not only for bloggers! “Cool Blogger Clubs” are open to all!
2. I am not necessarily going to walk outside every day; the weather is still precarious where I live and I am a bit of a fragile orchid when it comes to wind/rain/cold. Treadmills count! Hallways count! Hotel rooms and airports count. I’m simply aiming for 10 intentional minutes.
