Walk with the Doc, September Edition!! Summer made a return as our gorgeous fall temps fell away and the heat index soared back up over 100 again. We weren’t sure how many people would show up for the walk, but we always have a few diehard regulars! We shortened the walk to one mile instead of two because of the heat, but we all still had a great time! ❤️👟🩺
