I've been power walking the last two mornings with my dear friend and colleague, Kathleen Gage. We're both on the faculty of Niche Affilite Marketing System workshop this weekend.
Kathleen is training to power walk a marathon in May. We decided we would meet early each morning before the conference to do quick 30 minute walk. Usually I run, but I want to take advantage of the time with Kathleen to brainstorm and talk business. And it's fun. And invigorating, since it's about 30 degrees at 6:00 am in Atlanta! Pretty cold for a California girl.
Power walking is easier than runnning for having a conversation,that's for sure. Though I haven't gotten my heart rate up as much as when I run, I feel really good about the power walks and I'm having fun and getting exercise. That's the important thing, right!
Tip: Kathleen recommends Dave McGovern's Complete Guide To Marathon Walking. McGovern has trained thousands of marathon walkers who participate in the Team in Training program.
And what fun the power walks have been. Even though there is a time change and it would be easier to ignore that "oh so early" alarm, once the walk begins and then is over, wow! how much fun is that.
Great to power walk with you my friend.
Kathleen Gage
