Walking—Wonder Wedneday
It's WONDER Wednesday!
This week's WONDER is walking. That's right: Left foot. Right foot. Repeat. As spring chases out winter, we're swapping boots for sneakers and hitting sidewalks, paths and trails around Northern Michigan.
HERE ARE FOUR NEW IDEAS ON AN AGE-OLD PRACTICE.
Try them out on your next stroll, hike or meander and let us know how it went!
