Let us introduce ourselves.π Some of you know us, and some of you don't, but really we are not that scary. We are just two 40/something year-old kids who happen to be married and have 4 kids of our own. This Sioux Falls Walks page was born out of a combination of my own personal desire to have more "workout" partners, (because let's admit it, it's easier to start something when you are not alone), and a combination of Ricky's creative thinking and problem solving. He mentioned the idea to me once while on a walk that he wasn't that excited to be on, as I had been saying that I struggle going out on the trail alone but need to exercise. Well, the idea kept rolling around in my head until one day I finally decided to put it to good use.
We haven't figured everything out yet, as anyone who has joined us on a walk has probably noticed, but we are working on it. My hope is to not only inspire you and give you courage on your own health journeys, but also that some of you might also want to be the "leader of the day", if you will. I would love for some of you to pick a day/time/place and own it. Post it up here, share it with your friends, and be willing to follow through and go, even if you're not sure if anyone will come. You might just end up making new friendships, or strengthening old ones, all while working towards a healthier you.
So now that you see our faces bright and clear, don't be a stranger. Reach out, leave a comment, send a message, let us know your thoughts. We'd love to hear them, and we'd love this to be as much a part of your story as it is our own.π
