Online pedometerEver wanted to know how far you walked ? Check out this website. You can plot your walk on the map and see exactly how far you traveled. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/ Marathon walkingHave you ever thought about walking a marathon? Maybe you want to, but don't know where to start. The purpose of this site is to encourage you and provide information to help you along the way.http://www.marathonwalking.com/ Its all about the socksAfter completing a number of training walks, I have concluded the most important piece of equipment is the socks. I have tried a few different ones and the best so far are the trail running socks from Balega. A little pricey compared to the socks I usually buy at Kohl's, but well worth it. No blisters, no rubbing and lots of cushion. http://www.balegasports.com/trail-running.asp SneakersFinally, a shoe store where the clerks know something about the product. They even measure your feet and look at your old shoes to determine which shoe is best for your foot and walking/running style. And you don't pay extra for this service. The shoes were competitively prices with the "mall stores". http://www.fleetfeet.com/ |
