I had the pleasure of introducing readers to the Omron Pocket Pedometer on National Start Walking Day (April 8th) and was very excited when Omron Heathlcare offered to send one of our readers their cool new pedometers to help people (like me) stay fit and, you know, get walking!
This month, the good folks at Omron Healthcare have generously offered to sponsor This Full House in the Omron Overstep Your Bounds Challenge, held during BlogHer 2009 in Chicago, IL, where I'll be competing against 5 very amazing bloggers:
- Christine Young – Fromdatestodiapers.com
- Briana Carter – Bargainbriana.com
- Shannon Entin - PhatMommy.com
- Tanya Gordon – MommyGoggles.com
- Elizabeth Thielke – Busymom.net
Here's the REALLY good part:
- I get to road test the Omron GOsmart Dual-Axis Pocket Pedometer HJ-720ITC with IT capabilities, which allows you to download your tracked steps so you can compare to how well you’ve done over time.
- The woman with the MOST steps at the end of the 2-day challenge (7/24 - 7/25) wins and will be awarded $5,000 to the charity of her choice!
BOTTOM LINE: I'm looking forward to this fun challenge. Not only will the Omron Overstep Your Bounds Challenge get me walking (for sure!) my steps will potentially benefit the charity of my choice, which I have already determined to be our local Ronald McDonald House!
That is some healthy competition, right there, right?
[fingers crossed]
BRING IT ON - wish me luck!
