Walking the Track

stylized photo of Mikey walking on the track with a big sign saying walk with sneakers.

Mikey loves to walk on the track at our local high school.  He will walk down the hill from the car, do one or two laps and then head back up. He takes it pretty slowly, but he enjoys the outside time.

recent journal entry: "I walk on the track" photo of mikey smiling on the walk down to the track and a photo of Mikey from behind as he walks on the track

And, as far as I’m concerned, any exercise he will do is great! It’s healthy for body and mind. Go, Mikey, go!!
