Tonight, Jo went Nordic walking with a friend from work. While no accent is required, you are more successful if you imbue your stride with a little lilt. The group that Judy and I walk with is based out of a sports store in St. Louis Park. The leader brings along a bunch of "demo" poles for people to use for free. This week we met at the Stone Arch Bridge and walked down the St. Anthony Main side, crossed the Hennepin Avenue bridge, went down the stairs and walked along the other side of the river for a bit, then turned around and came back to the Stone Arch Bridge near the Mill Ruins. It was a brisk, cool evening but I still got hot and had to take off my jacket before we had even gotten halfway round.

Is the sports store Hoigaard's? They really have been on the forefront of supporting Nordic Walking in the Twin Cities. It's gratifying to read a blog post from a customer who has benefited from their involvement with this growing activity.
