Volksmarching!!










I discovered something new today and it was a lot of fun and something I will continue to do throughout my travels. It is called volksport - which is german for "sport of the people" it's a completely non-competitive way to get out and do sporting events. You buy record books and keep track of your progress. At each event you get your book stamped and if you pay a little more you get a patch or a pin. Each walk is usually 10 km (6.2 miles). My first volksmarch today was on the Fort Lewis Army Base for Armed Forces day. Aside from the walk they had a little street fair with booths and all kinds of army vehicles and whatnot for civilians to check out. It was a great day!
