IT SOUNDS<br />
AMAZING<br />
BECAUSE IT IS.<br />
T’S AMAZING THAT you can<br />
walk <strong>1000</strong> miles in a year –<br />
Iand I can guarantee you much<br />
boggling from your friends and<br />
relations. But what’s really amazing<br />
is the difference walking an average<br />
of just 2.74 miles a day can make.<br />
From the first walk you’ll find your<br />
thoughts quieten and your senses<br />
quicken; your body sends messages<br />
of thanks in the form of endorphins, and in spite of the<br />
modest size of your investment – just 2.74 miles, or a little<br />
under an hour for most – the returns grow and grow. Pretty<br />
soon your heartbeat takes up a longer lope, your horizons<br />
grow and your body becomes once again the dependable<br />
tool it used to be. Optimism comes more readily; you greet<br />
the reflection in the mirror with something approaching civility<br />
and eventually glee. What are we going to get up to today?<br />
People run faster, pedal harder, spend more time and<br />
money on gyms and diets and clubs and bats to achieve less.<br />
The whole-person benefits enjoyed by #walk<strong>1000</strong>milers are<br />
extraordinary, as I hope a read of this magazine will convince<br />
you. They certainly explain why 99.9% of participants<br />
recommend the challenge to a friend. You may not think there’s<br />
much wrong with your life right now. But wait til you see the<br />
person that’s waiting at the other end of #walk<strong>1000</strong>miles.<br />
Now they’re amazing.<br />
