"The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step."
- Lao Tzu, Chinese Taoist Philosopher.
We are continuously reminded that staying active can do wonders for our health. We all know the benefits of walking - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual - but yet it is still a struggle to get out there every other day let alone EVERY day. This blog has been started as an outlet, a place to record my adventures and a means of accountability. I hope you will be inspired to walk more, further, or faster!!!
So what happens when taking that first step has become the hardest part of the journey? What if you literally don't know how and where to start? Or where and when to go? I hope this blog will help me to take that first step every day and that in turn others will be motivated or even inspired to take their first step. If you are a seasoned runner or hiker or walker - WELCOME - and if you are an occassional stroller - WELCOME - but most of all if you have never walked further than the distance between your front door and your car door - WELCOME!!! I hope to make it easier, better and more fun for anyone willing to give walking a go.
I am blessed to live on the coast of one of the most beautiful countries in the world - New Zealand! And yet walking daily has become a chore for me. Within minutes of my house are parks, fields, beaches, bush, hills, mountains and dozens of other opportunities to get out and walk and discover. I want to see them all. I want to explore every inch of it. Won't you join me?
