I accept the challenge... I will walk every neighborhood in Sarasota

See my previous post about people walking every street in their city. I really like hiking and wish I could do the Florida Trail someday. Since I don't have the time to hike 1,300 miles at once. Hiking close to home will have to do. I really enjoyed the walks I did for SRQ Magazine and think the article in their May issue "Can Downtown be a Walkable Urban Center" was very good. OK I liked being quoted and they spelled my name right.....

I am going to start on Monday May 9th 2005... no scheduled finish date. I made the big announcement at the CCNA meeting this morning and got lots of support. I will try to walk with someone from each neighborhood so I get a guided tour.

I have setup a new web site to document my journey. http://www.sarasotaneighborhoods.org I am going to walk Arlington Park my home neighborhood first. So look for lots of pictures and notes about that coming soon...

Nine plus miles

First day was 9.3 miles. Looks like Arlington Park NA is about 22 miles of roads....

Well I started..

After three and a half hours of walking I am back home. After I "regroup" I will figure out how far I walked...
