WJJ (Walk for the Jamba Juice)

Well, today I was able to take two walks for the JJ. This cost me half a dollar, but it was well worth it. This morning when John and I walked it was very nice. We probably went around 12:15ish. I would recommend this time or even earlier on days that are warm. Anyway, on our walk we were stopped by a woman driving in the Harman Building parking lot. It seemed she was in a lot of distress. She was looking for Parking Lot “48,” which unfortunately we had never heard of. She was looking for her granddaughter who was playing softball somewhere. We directed her to the nearby softball fields. I hope she found her granddaughter, but either way, I feel we not only are helping students at work, but helping the community at large.

This afternoon walk I took with some new members of the W Double J. It was a delightful experience. Some of the participants felt the walk was a little long, but I feel that was only because we took it at 3:30pm. This is not what I would recommend for the most optimal time. The shade from the trees was not always directed towards us at that time, but the nice mist from the sprinklers was very refreshing indeed. When we came back into work I felt stimulated to get back to work. I definitely think the dub dub J will be successful as people realize how much it really does do the body good.

My First Walk for the Jamba Juice

This morning we walked for the Jamba Juice...backwards! (We took the route the opposite way) It was rejuvenating to say the least! :) We left around 11 am which, in our opinion, is an idea worth trying. The weather was a little warm but there was a slight breeze and... the sprinklers were on! They weren't all over the sidewalks but there was a light spray that we appreciated for awhile.

It was great exercise! AND we were able to help someone out. A lonely bike rider stopped us and asked us for directions to how to get to a building on campus. We love helping people at work AND on our break. Awesome.

Anyways, this was our experience for the day. The walk definitely helped us gain that energy we needed to keep on saving one graduate at a time. Definitely recommend it to anyone who is having a tough day and needs a quick break.

Walk Duration: 13 minutes (this included the moment we had to go to Trina's car to pick up her flops and the time we spent directing the lost bike rider)
