Last week was rough for me. I haven’t been that sick for years. Some sort of strange virus drove my temp as high as 102.6. Thankfully after 3 full days of misery, the fever broke. Was it the antibiotics or did it just run its course? Dr. doesn’t know for sure either. Try to stay [...]
Nordic Walking socks and shoes. Thorlo, SmartWool & North Face brands

Months back I bought some socks and they have become my favorite socks for Nordic Walking. However I didn’t recall where I got them or the brand name. Unlike shirts, socks usually don’t have a brand sewn into them. The other day at a Nordic Walking class two students identified my socks as a
Thorlo brand. [...]

Yesterday, two friends and I Nordic Walked over at Cleary Lake Park. We had decided to enter the trail at the end, but as we got into it, we discovered that it has not been mowed. That didn’t stop us, but we decided to pick up the pace at times because the bugs were getting [...]

Nordic Walk This Way for a Kure team enjoyed a sunshine, bug-free 4 mile walk at River Bend Nature Center in Faribault MN for the MS Society. Web site still open for donations. According to a volunteer there it was the best turn out ever for that location. I’d estimate between 350 – 400 people [...]

Due to a windy evening, class instruction was held indoors on carpeting at Nicollet Jr. High in Burnsville. We did go outside for just a bit so they could try the poles out on asphalt and grass too. This group caught on quickly about swinging out from their shoulder. Good opening their hands too. With [...]

Lucky enough to visit Longboat Key, FL and enjoy the beach there. Nordic Walking
on sand is fun and easy to do. Take off your rubber tips and off you go. I advise to wear tennis shoes, but a hardy sandal would do. Here is a pic of me Nordic Walking using the Classic European technique. [...]
