#Walk400 – Start as you mean to go on.

#walk400 pram walk with kids

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I am LOVING the #walk400 challenge so far!

I will freely admit I overindulged during the silly season and being unable to run gave me an excuse to sit around and, you know, not run.

In fairness I think my body really needed a decent break after the rigours of last year, but by January 1st I was SO READY to get moving and have a plan again.

I’ve not walked for a while, having favoured running, so I’d forgotten some of the awesome things about it.

Being low impact it isn’t causing me any pain in my bodgy ankle, hooray! I’ve had a gorgeous walk with my 10 year old and we just chatted and laughed in a way that was different to how we would at home. I’ve also been listening to podcasts when I walk on my own… I prefer music when I run but gosh have I listened to some inspiring conversations this week. Lots of food for thought as I enjoyed the feeling of working my body, but not pushing it like running does.

I’m super excited to share with you some of the great prizes you can win as part of #walk400 as well! To be eligible you just need to have joined our group in the forum (be sure to say hi and tell us how you are going with it!) and have shared an update via your social media with the hashtags #walk400 and #operationmove. Easy!

Each week starting next Saturday, we will announce a weekly prize of a $25 Gift Voucher thanks to our friends at She Science. If you are a woman who moves you want to get acquainted with this crew! We’ll be sharing more about them in a few weeks, but I’m super excited to be working with this brilliant young business in 2014.

    Oh what awesome prizes!! I am loving this challenge sick! Hubby and the kids are loving it too. I’m missing my ‘me time’ a little but that’s just more incentive to get out and run other days πŸ˜‰ I’m gonna be all kinds of fit by the time school goes back! I’ve even packed my running/walking gear for a holiday at my Mum’s. Who the heck am I??!!
