England Walks Google Maps Mashup: A Google Map Mashup is using Google Maps with markers to show locations of points of interest. Tied together with bookmarked Google Map Pedometer walking routes, and you've got fun sites like jstott.me.uk: Walks: Go along on walks in England with J. Stott, mapped out with Google Maps and photos.
100 Steps Photo Blog: Go out your door and take 100 steps. Look around and take a photo of something interesting. What a fun way to be aware of simple beauty, irony, and humor! Tintje's 100 Steps shows a walk out his door and through the woods in the Netherlands.
Walking Yoga: Relaxation, centering, and focusing are a great natural part of walking. Yoga, too! Put them together and you've got something great for the body, mind, and spirit. The Everything and Nothing blog reviews the book "Walking Yoga", taking meditation off the mat and onto your feet. Compare Prices for "Walking Yoga."
Pedometer as Taskmaster: Shirley Mann finds she has become A Slave to Her Pedometer
The Big Walk: Big John is walking through 48 states to raise money for uninsured cancer patients in the states he is walking through. But his journal entry wonders, "I wondered why companies were not answering our sponsor letters. I thought about the fact that the national media was covering a walk across the country a man was doing to lose weight, yet they told me that walking 16,000 through 48 states to help cancer patients live, was not a story. I wondered why?" Good question, Big John! Is it charity walk burnout? Is it that so many of us identify with Steve Vaught, The Fat Man Walking and his weight loss goals?
When to Say Bye-Bye to Old Socks: The Happy Feet blog tells you how to tell your socks worn-out are ready for the rag-basket. You can prevent blisters and other problems by tossing those old socks.
A Pet Pound of Fat: Laura Moncur links us to My Pet Fat. So, you're dieting and exercising and you are moping that you only lost a pound this week. Take a look at what that 1 pound of fat looks like and you'll be happy it's not on your tummy or thighs.
