Walk A Marathon Update 

On Friday, I finished week 3 of my Walk A Marathon Challenge with 26.6 miles logged. So far this week I've done 11.4 miles (14/8 to go!) For those of you who are new to The ZIED GUIDE newsletter, I had decided that for the month of April I would challenge myself--and my readers, twitter followers, and facebook friends to walk the distance of a marathon each week. For each mile I walk in April, I will donate at least $1 to Live Light, Live Right, an amazing childhood obesity prevention program based in Brooklyn, New York. 

Having this goal has been great for me, personally, and I am thrilled to hear from some of you that it has motivated you to do more than your usual routine and walk more too.  

If you'd like to virtually walk with me during this last week of my challenge, I'd love it! Be sure to count EACH AND EVERY STEP YOU TAKE that's at a pace of 3 miles an hour or more. Strap on that pedometer, listen to music (but be safe when you walk outside!), and count those steps (walking 20 blocks counts as one mile.)

I'll continue to post daily tweets about my progress--if you do the same, please remember to put #walkamarathon; hopefully together, we'll get and stay fit and motivate others to do the same!
