Wide Distribution for Nordic Walking Article

Thierry Werderits of Lynden, WA, a serious cross-country skier who uses Nordic Walking as off-snow training, was the subject of an article that seems to have first appeared in the Bellingham Herald late last molnth and has since been widely syndicated. As a well-conditioned athlete, Werderits uses poles to bound energetically uphill, even mimicking a semblance of a skating motion. The piece touted the benefits of Nordic Walking and showed a photo of a fit Werderits striding down a wide path through the forest wih his poles.
