Ottawa hosts a lot of races over the summer. I've never participated in any - but, a few weeks ago, my grandkids and their parents did a 1K walk in support of the local children's hospital.
I'm interested in another walking competition as well - not because I plan to participate or because I know any of the participants - but because a local man who just turned 100 will be competing for the first time. In fact, they had to create a new age category for him!
Like me (and my mother before me), he is an avid mall walker.
To me, that's exciting! Not saying that mall walking is a sport - or that it's as healthy as walking in the great outdoors...
(Though it might be!)
But it definitely keeps you active and in shape... in case you decide to walk in a 5K race, even if you're 100!
