The three noncompetitive walking distances that make up the Walk Wisconsin event are a great way to get in shape and stay that way while getting out and enjoying the natural environment. We celebrate any type of event that gets large groups of people to become more physically active.

The notion that I had walked twelve hundred miles since Rotterdam filled me with a legitimate feeling of something achieved. But why should the thought that nobody knew where I was, as though I were in flight from bloodhounds or from worshipping corybants bent on dismemberment, generate such a feeling of triumph? It always did.

This is a three-hour feast of an event.

You watch him walk and it's like he's walking barefoot on glass.

When walking, walk. When eating, eat.

When I'm in turmoil, when I can't think, when I'm exhausted and afraid and feeling very, very alone, I go for walks. It's just one of those things I do. I walk and I walk and sooner or later something comes to me, something to make me feel less like jumping off a building.
