Welcome to the Family Circle/American Heart Association Start! Walking Challenge Blog.

Over the next five months I’ll be keeping you updated on my family’s progress, as we (just like you) attempt to walk at least 75 miles in celebration of Family Circle’s 75th anniversary. I’m hoping to be able to report that my kids and husband were all enthusiastic about taking strolls around the neighborhood with me (and our dog, Sadie, of course).

Many members of my staff here at Family Circle are also joining our challenge, some on their own and others with their entire family. I’ll be inviting them to share their stories here on the blog, as well.

So check in often, and good luck! And when you get a moment, please send me an e-mail about your walking progress!
