Walking

Here's something to help get motivated: National Walk to Work Day is this Friday October 1 - click on the link to find out more and get some tips on how to walk to work if you think you live too far away.
I've pledged to put my feet first so let me know if you'd like a walking buddy :)
There's also the Women's and Girls' Jogalong this Sunday (being the first Sunday of the month) at beautiful Weston Park in Yarralumla - 8.45am for aerobics warm up then staggered starts from 9am (3km walkers start first). I missed last month but hope to make it there this time!
Floriade is also a wonderful event to spend a lot of time walking enjoying Canberra spring time. It's on until Sunday October 10.

Sound weight management: Eating right; getting at least 5 hours of deep solid sleep in one hit and; a variety of physical activity.

I'm excited to be part of this wonderful initiative by  The push-up challenge The challenge is to complete  3,139 push-ups to reflect the 3,139 Australians who died by suicide in 2020 .
