Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook fame has challenged his 47 million Facebook followers to run 365 miles this year - that is one mile a day. So far over 40,000 people have joined him. And Mark I am with you in spirit. I am not much of a runner - but I challenge my readers to join me and walk at least 365 miles this year. That is roughly the distance from Berlin and Munich.
I have been tracking my miles on my Fitbit since January 1, 2016 and in that time I have logged 9.97 miles - roughly two miles a day - not bad for an old broad! Are you ready to join my Mile Every Day Walking Challenge? On average it should take about 20 minutes max to walk a mile and will burn between 100 and 150 calories depending on your pace and size.
Planning to hold yourself accountable and to reward yourself from time to time are two important components to support your going the full distance. How are you going to hold yourself accountable? Do you have a friend or family member who will commit to the challenge with you? How are you going to reward yourself? Consider rewards that will reward you back - think a new slimming outfit, a massage or tickets to a movie or an event.
Lace up your walking shoes and join me. Share your walking adventures with me in the comment section of this blog. I'll post periodically my progress too. Here's to a healthy 2016!
