 October is a month when many people find themselves on the move. Whether you're taking your 4th grader trick or treating, heading out to the orchard to pick the sun-ripened apples off the trees, or lacing up your walking shoes to raise money for breast cancer research; HealthyFeetStore.com has the right fall footwear for your active feet. Unless you live in Hawaii or Southern California, sandal season has long since past. As sad as we are to see it go, we here at HealthyFeetStore.com are truly excited to share with you our expanded selection of diabetic and orthopedic boots and therapeutic slippers. Just because your feet are out of sight, bundled up in wool socks and weather proof boots, doesn't mean they should be out of mind. Take care of your feet throughout the fall and winter season by keeping your toenails clipped, taking steps to control excess moisture from sweaty feet, and making an appointment to see a podiatrist if you begin to experience chronic foot pain. |
CHARITY WALKS - WALKING FOR A CAUSE
|
Fall is a wondrous time for walkers. The air feels cold, crisp, and
clean. The leaves are changing. Best of all is that charity walk season
is in full swing. Charity walking is a fun and inspiring way to
revitalize your exercise program because it keeps you motivated in your
exercise routine while allowing you to experience the joy of helping a
cause you care about. Charity walks are also a great way to strengthen
work relationships or fit extra quality time with friends and family
into a busy schedule.
Make Sure You Can Go the Distance
In your enthusiasm to do a good deed, be sure not to forget the most
basic criterion for choosing a charity walk: how well the length of the
walk matches your current level of physical health and how much time
you have before the race to train to be ready for the event. Most
beginning walkers prefer to start with a 5k walk (3.1 miles). Finishing
a 5k walk at a slow pace will require you to be able to walk for about
an hour without stopping. Studies have shown that people who walk for
an hour per day exhibit a decreased risk of developing heart disease,
breast cancer, and type II diabetes; so an hour of walking per day is a
solid goal to aim for even if you're not training for a walking event.
If you are starting at a base line of 15 minutes per day, five days per
week, then it will take you approximately one to two months to prepare
for a 5k walk. Beginning walkers can of course start with a big goal
like a half-marathon (13.1 miles) or even a full marathon (26.2 miles),
but they will need more training time to prepare. To prepare for a
half-marathon you will need at least 9 months to train for the event.
To train for a marathon you will need at least a year. Continue Reading...

|
 In cooperation with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists in the world, New Balance presents the New Balance Women's Walking Shoe, 845. Part of New Balance's Lace Up for the Cure Collection, the New Balance 845 is the official walking shoe for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk. 15 percent of the wholesale cost of each Lace Up for the Cure shoe purchased will be donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. New Balance has promised to donate a minimum of $500,000 to support breast cancer research and a maximum of $1,000,000.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure and New Balance have been partners in the fight against break cancer since 1989. In 1991, New Balance stepped up their involvement in raising money for a cure by becoming an official sponsor of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. In 2004 New Balance also became a sponsor of Susan G. Komen's Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk. Since it was founded in 1982, using charity walks and runs and other fundraising events, Susan G. Komen for the Cure has managed to raise and donate almost a billion dollars to the cause of breast cancer research. New Balance has been instrumental in providing Susan G. Komen for the Cure with critical funding to continue its important mission; a mission that continues to give hope to thousands of breast cancer patients, breast cancer survivors, and their families.
