Saunter - a verb, meaning to walk in a slow, relaxed manner or a noun, to describe a leisurely stroll (Oxford English Dictionary).
This day was created in the 1970's by W. T. Rabe at Mackinac Island, Michigan while he was the Public Relations Director for a hotel on the island. Rabe was well known for his publicity stunts. It is a day when jogging, running, sashaying, fast walking, trotting and so forth are highly discouraged.
After watching Mark saunter around the department is a most relaxed fashion, I am now off to saunter into town to absorb the atmosphere of Durham! I have no idea where I am going, or how long I will be!
Although I have to confess that I did start the day badly, having jogged around Bearpark at 7am for 20 mins. And I will end the day badly by completing a speed session at the athletics track - I feel guilty but in a week of celebratory days, sometimes you have to make compromises!
