My 10km medal for walking.

I am the sort of Gal that likes a little incentive. So a few weeks ago I set myself the challenge of walking 10km. There are many virtual running medals that you can earn but if you look at the small print they say you can enter with walking or running so I decided to find a medal I liked the look of and enter my name to achieve it. The one I liked had the deadline of doing the walk by 31 May.

I was really pleased to of earned this medal last week. I did the walk and two days later this lovely little medal arrived through my letter box. It cost me £11.75 with postage but the incentive it gave me was worth it. I am a carrot and stick exerciser I always like to be working towards something

One of the things I love about exercise is you can make it your own. Choose the things that motivate you and use them to make you stronger, fitter and healthier. Win/win. 😀

That's really nice and a great idea. I am so much more motivated when I am working towards a goal - maybe I'll have a look at little shiny things I could reward myself with. 😉
