Mayor Kathy Taylor of Tulsa , Oklahoma is challenging local Tulsans to get up and get fit. She is starting a new fitness initiative to get Tulsans to walk, run, swim or bike one million miles.
For those with running groups, Mayor Taylor wants you to keep track of the miles you run so everyone can see how fit Tulsa is. Her goal is to get everyone living in Tulsa up and off the couch, and on the road to good health. Every time you get out and get moving, log every mile you walk, run, swim or bike.
Mayor Taylor also launched a new website: http://www.tulsamillionmiles.com/ . With so many upcoming events, you wont be alone when you're moving. This Saturday is the Tulsa Run. This is a serious challenge to help beat childhood obesity and health problems such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure in the community.
Some are already volunteering to ride a bike to work everyday and log their miles. The Mayor herself is dedicated to good health, and runs on a regular basis. She has found a way to balance her life to fit work and good health into it.
Mayor Taylor believes that when people are aware that they can have a better quality of life long-term, they are more motivated to do it. She also wants a good looking city, and good looking and feeling residents to go along with it.
