Day 5 Lots of rain and a few breaks!!

                                 Another rainy day walk ... down beautiful Queen street!

Day 5 ( or day 35 in a row) It was the same kind of rainy day today that we have had for the past week!  I decided to get out there early when it let up for a moment. The streets were filled with puddles ... but it definitely made the walk more interesting trying to avoid them.
Benefits of Walk30!
I have been browsing around the internet collecting facts and research having to do with the benefits of walking our 30 minutes per day.
Today's benefit fact comes from the www.walking.about.com 
(check it out!)
"From the perspective of prevention, it appears that the 30 minutes per day will keep most people from gaining the additional weight associated with inactivity," said said Cris Slentz, Ph.D of the Duke University research team in a news release.".
It just makes sense that if you up the intensity of your walk you will reap more benefit ... that article goes on to say that if you up your heart rate  ... you will up your ability to stay at the same or even improve your body weight and waist size ... this sounds like a great reason to walk30.
Walk on Strong!
