    As I see it I need a total of 620,000 steps for August and there are at least four days (most likely more will pop up) that travel and other responsibilities will interfere with reaching my daily goal. Therefore, I am pushing to complete additional steps on days that I can in order to reach the overall target.

    All of my steps are walking due to a sciatic nerve and hip issues. I wish I could run, but the doctors say no.

    @nakaiki then you just do what you can do, you don't want to hurt/injure yourself.
    I have looked at the calorie burn for doing say 15k steps and 21k and theres only about 200 cals of a difference (for me anyway, but I'm petite), I know sometimes I think to myself is it even worth doing the extra steps.

    Running isn't for everyone.

    Been harder than usual this week to reach my 21k average as working more hours, this week it's been every other day alternating between 21k and 17k...next week will be better as work back to normal hours.

    Anyone for a repeat of yesterday?! Ugh! This time I had 6500 at 9:45.

    Thanks for the props @BasicGreatGuy ! It helped get through another drive to get my steps in last minute again.
