Hi <
With spring in the air it's a good time to take stock. You've come a long way since last spring. Maybe you're thinking of 'going the distance' and participating in a senior's marathon. If that is a bit too ambitious at the moment, perhaps you're looking at taking your walking to the next level and joining a local group to fund raise for a good cause. It's time to take a good look at the progress you've made. Are you where you want to be? If you're not quite there yet, don't give up! It's not really that hard to persevere and make that progress. No matter where you're at today, look at it as a new beginning point. One good way to be sure you're making progress is to pay attention to a few simple things. Focus on the distance you walk each time, how long you are walking each day, what your endurance is - do you feel energized, drained or 'in between' at the end of your walk? Is your motivation still there? A Dedicated Program For starters, if it's been a while since you visited our programs you might want to refresh your memory here. By now you're most likely doing our Level 2 or Level 3 Walking Programs. Refocus, pick your program and pursue it with diligence.   And to help you keep track here is one recommendation for a good pedometer with built in health software from Omron. We know there are a gazillion pedometers out there and this is only one. It has received very high marks from a very high majority of users - over 85% of users give it top marks! And as a bonus it is on sale for almost 50% OFF.

Keep track of your distance and calculate your speed or waling pace. And feel free to keep track of any miscellaneous info that will help you remember what you need to do the next day to keep you on track with your walking goals.
