a report from the training walk

5.24.25 - Another gorgeous day for a training walk! There were over a dozen walkers there with us today, and the sun was out to guide our way. Those four miles went by quickly, and there were certainly a lot of other people out enjoying the weather, the paths, and the park, too. We crossed paths with bikers, roller bladers, runners… and some turtles. Plenty of folks stopped to chat and ask questions about Liberty Walks and what we are up to. I got the names and numbers of a few folks and will be having some follow up conversations, and hopefully we’ll have a few more people ready to join in the pilgrimage. This training walk was special for two additional reasons: we were joined by a reporter from the Eugene Weekly (it was great to meet you, Eve!), and we were wearing our Liberty Walks swag! The first shirts have arrived and they look great! But don’t take my word for it… here’s proof of how stylin’ we Liberty Walkers are:

Now, I know - this image only shows nine people, but take my word for it, there were at least four more who are not shown here, but who walked the full four miles with us today. There is something just downright GOOD about walking and talking and being together in this way. Come join us!
