U-Turn
“Find what is for you a river of infinite, meaningful fascination.

No Gear Drop at the ING NYC Marathon
The walker-friendly ING NYC Marathon is one of the biggest in the world, and also one of the most congested with over 45,000 participants. To combat the problem of congestion at the finish in Central Park, they will have a No Baggage Policy for the November, 2012 race. Most races offer a bag drop so participants can place extra clothes, snacks and other items they may need before the race and after the race. But the race officials say this resulted in over a mile walk after the finish to get through the bag check area and out of Central Park. Without a bag check, they plan to have racers exit 30 minutes sooner.

Ring Keeper - Amphora by Emily C
I can't count how many times I head out for a walk and then realize I still have my ring on. I need to take it off so hand swelling doesn't become uncomfortable. Where do you stash your ring when this happens to you? Amphora by Emily C is a patent-pending necklace that works as a secure ring-keeper. The innovative part of it is that you don't have to unhook or remove the necklace to put your ring on it. Instead, the design lets you slip it through the scallop or heart pendant and the chain helps keep it secure. Put a ring on it!

Back to School Backpacks and Daypacks
Backpacks and daypacks for going back to school or taking a walking commute to work should be as well-designed as those for hiking. Students lug heavy loads with these packs every day. Look for padded shoulder straps, waist belts and sternum straps to distribute the weight. Reflective trim is a plus for walking safety. Here are my top picks for school and commuter backpacks.

Going Bananas with Yonanas
Bananas are an athlete's friend. You will see bananas offered at the finish line of marathons and half marathons because they contain potassium and natural sugars to feed your body what is loses in a long distance race. I was intrigued by ads for the Yonanas frozen treat maker that claimed to turn a plain old banana into a treat that looks and feels and tastes like ice cream. I bought one and was pleased and a little shocked that it works as advertised. It's a perfect diet dessert at 105 all-natural calories per 1-banana serving. The drawbacks? Well, you have to love banana-flavored treats (I do) and it is a single-purpose gadget.

When it's going to be hot outside, you may want to keep your walking workout short but use it effectively.
