New month, new challenge!

Our challenge is to do 10,000 steps in a day. You can do this for any one day or try for the entire month. Jump right in at any time! You can set a lower or higher goal if you wish. Our main goal is to keep activate every day!

It's easy to join - Just post here to begin! You can also jump in anytime during the month, too.

You will need a step counter to keep track of your steps and then post your results daily here.

Welcome to our Monthly Step Challenge!

    Aiming for a weekly average of 10,000 steps (or 7,000+ per week) since my work schedule and the weather make it tough to get out some days. Tuesdays are particularly tough, so I'm hoping to make up some ground today!

    4/1 - 11,054
    4/2 - 6,563
