WALKSanDiego welcomes new Executive Director
 After a lengthy search, we are excited to introduce Ken Grimes as WALKSanDiego's first full-time executive director.
Ken has a planning background and recently left a similar position with a community assistance non-profit in his native England. He previously worked for the City of San Diego Housing Commission and brings a wealth of experience, a consensus-building approach, and a passion for improving communities.
He and his wife have two grown children and reside in the very walkable San Diego neighborhood of University Heights. Welcome aboard, Ken!

10,000 Steps a Day
Ultimately, everyone's goal is to increase their physical activity energy expenditure to about 300-400 kilocalories per day to achieve the most health benefits. The simplest way to do that is taking 10,000 steps a day, including steps taken going uphill and downhill, steps taken going up and down stairs, and steps taken walking on level ground. Have you thought about counting your steps with a pedometer? Check out this website for frequently asked questions (FAQ), a guide to pedometer prices and how long you can expect one to last.
