Step It Up & Walk!

Ever see the show "Step It Up & Dance"? Yea, me either, but what I'm going to be doing is similar I guess!

Tomorrow, Yeti, Bunny and I will be leaving on a jet plane headed out to the Outdoor Retailer Winter Show in Salt Lake City, UT. (Side note, I had a dream that it was in Denver next year...cool!) Ok, back to the point: Steppin' it UP! I was recently nominated by the cool and awesome folks over at Outside Media to be a part of the...wait for it...bum buh BAAAAA: "The GeoPalz Active Nation Outdoor Retailer Blogger Challenge". (Say THAT 5 times fast!)

So what's the deal? Well, basically I get to wear one of the sweet new GeoPalz Activity Trackers while I'm haulin' butt around the 365,000 square feet of MADNESS (A.K.A. Outdoor Retailer Show). I'll track my steps and each day, Thursday through Saturday, log-in to see where I rank against other bloggers. The other cool part? OR show attendees get to partake in the fun! Voting for who they think will have the most steps that day, if that blogger wins, they could win their very own GeoPalz!

Not only do I have Thursday-Saturday 9am-5pm back-to-back appointments all day, but I'm super competetive AND a professional walking eater (try having a 20 minute lunch/workout break!) So what I'm really trying to say is if you're at the OR Show, stop by #BR727 and vote for me and I'll do my best not to let you down! I (MtnMama) will be representing @UpaDowna at the races, so vote for us! Here are the rest of the bloggers that will be taking part in this event!

Let's just hope my boots were made for walkin' and that I can replenish my malnourished and tired body with that $50 gift card to Whole Foods! Good luck to everyone!

Keep track of all the OR Show action by following @UpaDowna, @UpaDownaBunny and @UpaDownaMtnMama on Twitter!

Adventure On!
