Marlene and her husband, Art, walk together, often as part of the Senior Coffee Walk and Talk.“ We come together and go out and do our own thing. It’ s nice. You get to meet others and become friends.” Another member of the 1,000 Mile Club, Nondis Brown, said,“ Walking does as much for you as any other type of exercise. It was unbelievable because I am 83 years old.” She cited her father and grandfather as inspirations as they walked five miles a day.“ I’ m trying to be like them. Walking makes you feel so much better.”
