Well it is now mid-June and the walking season is among us! I am happy to see so many businesses in central and southwest Iowa participating in Wellmark's Walking Works program. This is a great program to get people motivated and moving. And...if you have a competitive streak, a great way to challenge each other. The pedometers are also a huge hit. Pedometers are a great way to log your steps, miles, and calories burned. Remember--the goal to shoot for is 10,000 steps a day. I know that may seem lofty, but if you work up to it, you can do it!
On a personal note, I've been walking consistently for quite some time. Back in college and for a couple years after, I was a runner. In the past couple years I've fallen off the running wagon, but I recently began training to run in the Des Moines Half Marathon in October. It will be tough, but I can do it. Wish me luck!
