Last night Britton and I were just perusing the Greeley Tribune online and checked out the upcoming events section. We saw something called Walk with a Doc scheduled for Saturday morning at 8am in Sandborn Park. We thought that might be fun to do.

So we woke up early this morning and headed over to Sandborn AkA Westlake. We often walk around this park before we get our groceries at King Soopers, so it was a familiar park to us.

Walking around Sandborn

We got there a little late, but managed to catch up with the walking group. There were about 6 or 7 doctors or medical students in the group of about 25 people total. You could walk alone or walk with one of the doctors in the group and ask them medical questions or just chit-chat. Today’s walk was the inaugural event in Northern Colorado!

Walking around Westlake in the morning

We were able to take a lap with Dr. Kurt Dallow a local physician who is very much about preventative health and exercise. He is very active and rides his bicycle everywhere even in the winter.

It was a fun time and we shared an apple from Sprouts at the end. Apparently an apple a day keeps your doctor walking around a lake! 🙂

I am definitely going to bring this event up to my work (the Health Dept) to see if we can have more collaborations with this group in the future.

The next Greeley/ Northern Colorado Walk with a Doc will be on Saturday, May 19th at Sandborn Park at 8am. You can read more about them at Walk with a Doc.
