Events Pack Your Nikes Tomorrow
Posted by Chris Chamberlain on Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 8:30 AM
Friday October 9 is officially "Walk at Lunch Day" in Nashville. Sponsored by the Nashville Community Health and Wellness Team, the event seeks to encourage Nashvillians to eat healthy and be more active by promoting lunchtime exercise. The Nashville CHWT has signed up local businesses to sponsor walking groups for this day in particular and hopes that participants will continue these walking groups throughout the year.
But you don't have to be a part of any group to participate. Pack a bag lunch and get outside to enjoy this transitional fall weather, or at the very least park a little farther away from the Ruby Tuesday at the mall. There's a chance of rain, so you might want to bring a jacket. We promise you won't melt.
If you're interested in participating in a more organized activity, The Green Hills Action Partners (apparently an offshoot of the Justice League of America of which I was unfamiliar) is sponsoring an official walk event and Metro Public Health will be sponsoring a water station within Centennial Park for walkers walking at lunch.
Pep step on over to the Nashville CHWT website for more information on all these events.
