Power Walking

Yesterday, the statewide "Texas Round-Up" Challenge kicked off in Grapevine. Our staff at the campground is determined to help the city claim the Governor's Challenge for the "Fittest City in Texas" this year! The state-wide mission of the "Texas Round-Up" is to improve everyone's health through the education and promotion of physical activity and healthy living. Not a bad goal for all of us, huh?

This is the first time that the state-wide media event was hosted outside the capital of Austin, Texas. More than 200 folks and lots and lots of mayors from neighboring cities attended the event in downtown historical Grapevine, challenging each other to have the most exercise logged-in within in the next six-weeks.

The 'Get-Fit-Texas' program has really cool online tools that The Vineyard's staff is using to log-in exercise time. The city with the most mileage/exercise wins—yard work counts, and so does any other physical exercise. So, if you see us out walking our dogs seven times a day, know that the staff is in "competition-mode." Campers are welcome to join us at any time of day, in any weather...especially in the peaceful morning fog off of Grapevine Lake this time of year. We need the support—walking and jogging are great fun on this beautiful campground.
