This is a group of friends who get together to walk for fitness after 5:00PM, during the work week in Marin.  We are FASTER walkers that DO NOT stop to smell the flowers or take time to look at the sunsets.  We are friends who like to walk with others for fitness for one hour. What we mean by fast:  We can hold a conversations, but your heart rate will increase and you will sweat!  We are not runners or speed walkers but we all have been told "gosh, you walk fast".  We will leave you in the dust …

We welcome individuals who are fit enough to keep up with the brisk walking/moderate hiking pace, who enjoy the art of conversation and who can actively contribute to the p …

This is a group for anyone interested in walking for health and fitness. All skill levels are welcome.

Long story short: In March 2011 I walked 330 miles of the Camino de Santiago, a 1,200 year-old pilgrimage route in Spain. I lived with very little for 3 weeks. I experienced nature, art, and history. I met people from all around the world on the same simple quest - to r …

In December 2011, I was sitting in a three-day, 13-hours-a-day Landmark Education self-improvement seminar in San Francisco, and all I could think about was escaping through one of the hermetically sealed windows and making a dash for Nob Hill, the only thing resembling a steep incline in the area. It was during the dinner break during the final day of the seminar that I conspired with Paul Schutzman and Mai-Ling Garcia -- two of the very cool people with whom I'd made a connection during our th …
