If you’ve been around for more than a year you’ve probably read about or even participated in a Walktober. It’s someting that began when Robin over at Breezes at Dawn went for a walk, took a few pictures and shared it all with us while inviting us to go out and share our own walks.

It evolved into an annual event with people from all over the country, and even the world, doing their walk sometime in October, taking pictures and posting about it while linking to Robin’s Walktober post.

Then sometime at the end of the month, or the beginning of November Robin would do a post featuring everybody’s adventures.

What fun to see different places in the world! And to know that people all over are out doing their Walktobers at the same time!

This year Robin needs just a little help to get Walktober organized, so I’ll be doing it for her. As it gets closer to October I’ll probably remind you once more, and then sometime in early October I’ll post the ‘official’ Walktober post that you can link to once you do your own walks.

Near the beginning of November I’ll collect all of your posts and do a final review of everybody’s Walktober.

BUT! Least you worry that you don’t like to walk, let me reassure you it doesn’t have to be a walk. It could be a drive, or a boat ride, a kayak trip down a stream through fields filled with cows.

It could be a pogo stick hop through your neighborhood, or a tour of your own backyard. It could be rural, in a forest, along a beach, or a city experience through a busy midtown.

You can skip or ride your bike or do the tango on your walk. You can ski or snowmobile if you have enough snow. How about roller skating? Now that would be a Walktober!

It’s your Walktober to do whatever moves your heart.

I don’t know where I will take you this year, but here’s where I went last year.

We have a couple weeks to figure it out this year, right? RIGHT! So put your Walktober caps on, and watch for the official Walktober post. I can’t wait to see where to take us all!

It’s gonna be fun. Guaranteed.
