Healthy Walking Paths Kick-Off
11:30 - 1:30 Pikeville KY City Park
When they call me "well-rounded" I always hope they are talking about my interests and intellect. But who are we kidding? They could be talking about my Rubinesque figure. With summer coming, I have no good excuse not to excersise more. Do you?
Mavis Caudell Lowe, has worked hard to put together four paths throughout the city of Pikeville. The marked paths will give walkers, and out of shape chubbies like me, the option of walking 1/2 mile, 1 mile, 1 1/2 mile and 2 miles. (We met Mavis and her husband John through ballroom dancing.)
I am not sure what Mavis' official title is, but she is a Diabetes Educator with Pikeville Medical Center. So of course she is involved in the Pike County Diabetes Partnership.
This Tuesday, barring a rain reschedule, folks will be able to begin at Pikeville City Park, and follow the paths for the distance of their choice. As part of the kick-off, various businesses and organizations along the way will be providing rest stops. When Mavis asked if Charlie Pinson Insurance would be an official stop, we jumped at the chance. Diabetes runs rampant in some branches of my family, and also in Mark's family. We take that stuff real personal!
Our office is an official stop. We will have Anthem Health Insurance brochures, "Are you in control? Keeping your blood sugar in check." We are also providing a fruit. (Forget about the nuts, they are our employees! Giggle)
So if you live in Pikeville, Pike County, or for that matter anywhere in Kentucky...come on an join us on Tuesday. Mavis always make events fun...and who knows. Maybe we can peel off some pounds together! Let's get healthy!
