I am finding the more I exercise, the more I exercise. It's mostly about getting started. So, let's get started. Even if you can't walk with us in the Flying Pig races, you can be part of Team MNM by walking now and "billing" me for your mileage toward a sponsorship to Team MNM. Remember to report your mileage to me and I will contribute $.50 for every mile you log walking, running, or converting another exercise using the chart below (Day 1 of the blog) will go into your person "Piggy Bank". If you raise money for Team MNM while you are at it, I will add another $.25. Sr. Louise logged 8 miles so far this week and has earned $4.00 already. Way to go, Sr. Louise!
Training Tip
Start out at a slow, easy pace for each walking session.
Allow your muscles to warm up before you stretch, add speed or hills.
Warm up for 5 minutes at this easy pace. Avoid injuries by learning these stretches and complete them before and after you walk.

The sum of the whole is this: walk and be happy; walk and be healthy. The best way to lengthen out our days is to walk steadily and with a purpose. ~ Charles Dickens
See you a few miles from now,

Larry & I power walked 30 minutes on both Thursday and Saturday and are walking 14.5-minute miles. The distance is tiring us at that pace, so we have to work on our endurance. Why not Friday??? I power shopped the International Quilt Festival with a friend, and was amazed by all the beautiful quilts and artwork. We were both glad we went and hope to be inspired to learn to quilt.
