What to do the day of the Mayor's Walk

You've done it.  You have worked hard and prepared for this week's event.  There will be many people out there to support you on the 1-mile walk with the Mayor.  Here's what you need to know for the day of the Mayor's Walk:

Hydrate now.  Start drinking water now so you don't get dehydrated on the walk.
Bring a bottle of water with you.  You should always carry a water source with you and drink throughout the day and during the walk if you need.
Eat a light dinner.  A good dinner before the event would be a light salad.  You don't want to eat a heavy meal before the event.  There are many different light salads to choose from.  You can try one made with fresh fruit and spinach to help you have energy for the walk.
Bring a snack.  A light dinner may not fill you up and you may find yourself hungry before the race if you aren't used to eating a light meal.  Fresh fruit and vegetables make a good snack.
Dress for the weather. Be prepared to have fun and be comfortable whether it's rain or shine. Click here for current weather in Ogden.

This week your tasks:
Today- Walk 1 mile.
Tomorrow- Walk for 15 minutes and Invite Friends and Family to the event.
Friday- Show up at the Mayor's Walk.

Be sure to invite friends and family to the event even if they are only there to support you and not walk.

Ogden's Healthy Initiative

Woohoo!!! We are almost there. The Mayor's Walk is less than 2 weeks away. All the hard work you have been doing will pay off.

This week, we are focusing on the physical activity of Ogden City's  Healthy Initiative. The CDC recommends that adults get 2-1/2 hours of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity per week. This would be brisk walking, running, biking, etc. They also recommend you do muscle strengthening activities two or more days per week. Use your own body for weight bearing activities such as sits ups, push ups or squats. You can read more here: http://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/everyone/guidelines/index.html

There are many different activities you can do to be physically active. There are hiking trails all over Ogden, many are accessible by foot or bike. Others cater to skaters. Try out a swimming pool or visit the Ogden City Recreation Park, For more information on Ogden-area resources for health, nutrition and physical activities, please see the Weber-Morgan Healthy Living Resource Guide.

Don't forget to register for the Mayor's Walk. On May 15, the night before the Ogden Marathon, you can cross the finish line with Ogden Mayor Mike Caldwell and get a T-shirt and commemorative participation coin from the inaugural walk.
