Spooky trails and with goblins to chase ;). It's time for a new month of stepping!

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

    I would like to participate. I have a fitbit and try to accumulate by miles (at least 5 miles per day). My stride is short so about 12,000 steps per day=5 miles. I had at 14 hour day at work yesterday, so did not make my goal.

    10/1 - 8900 steps.
