Being physically active didn’t seem that important to me. However, being on the Lieutenant Governor’s leadership forum changed my whole perspective. On the forum, my fellow participants and I were expected to run, jog, or walk every morning for an hour. At first I wasn’t looking forward to going out at 6:30 AM to go walk, but it wasn’t long before I got used to it. I began enjoying these walks, and I realized how much energy it gave me throughout our very busy days. I wanted to become an ambassador, because now I understand the importance of being physically active.

Since 1992 December 3rd has been recognized as the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Physical activity is important for all people and there are vast benefits for those with or without disabilities. December 3 may have been yesterday but I’m posting my blog today because it’s important to care and be educated every day, not just on the day we’re reminded to be.

October is International Walk to School Month (IWALK) the premier event of the Active and Safe Routes to School Program. Today, October 7 is IWALK day for this year! If you’re physically able and your school is walking distance away, why not participate? Not only is it healthy for you, it is also an example of Active Transportation in action! It’s ok if you didn’t know it was IWALK day and you missed your chance to be a part of it because from October 5-9 its IWALK week!
