Walking the Walk

Signing up for races is a great way to stay motivated when exercising and to stay fit for a bigger purpose. I've been having some problems with tendinitis in my uncooperative right leg so walking is a good alternative. It's also a nice way to spend time with my kids while secretly sneaking in some extra exercise. Just watch out for those cute presents some dogs leave on the sidewalk.  Some owners conveniently fail to notice the grass just inches away.

As a tribute to my father who was diabetic, my son and I are participating in a walk for diabetes this Saturday in Tampa at the Forum. I had hoped to persuade him to sign up for one of these events with me when he took up walking, but life doesn't always work out the way you expect it to.
