State Employees are beating the clock, beating the heat and beating their busy schedules to be healthy.

It's National Health and Fitness Day at the state Capitol.

It's a non competitive event designed to encourage walking during the workday as part of a fitness routine.

The employees are setting their own pace and walking a mile -- two laps around the capitol.

Healthy snacks and drinks are also a part of the walk.

With the high obesity rate in the river region, some state employees say it gives them motivation.
