It's probably a bit late in the day so I will probably have this and tomorrow's challenge be the same.

Let's start out simple.

Everyone can walk. Plenty can jog. Lots of people can run. BUT HOW FAR can you go?

It's a known fact that 10,000 steps a day is very healthy for the body. Yeah, but some of us do that all the time... piece of cake. Well? What about say 16,000 steps or around 8 miles today? Yeah? No? Too tough for you? I'd say try for it, see what you can do? Me? I'm only so far in, but the day is still young my friends.

LET'S DO THIS!!!

    My challenge will be 10,000 k. Sometimes I don't even get to 5k. So 10k for me it's a accomplishment ????

    Okay this is my first day on fitness pal and I'm up for a challenge. I have two young kiddos but I'm still going to try this because even if I get 1 mile its better then nothing and not trying at all. =) Getting on my sneakers now while my youngest is napping and getting on the treadmill. Wooot!!

    I have been sitting at a desk all day! Managed to walk on my first break but not at lunch. Will be walking around the block in about an hour and hit the gym after work to get some more steps in. I use a fit bit and I am only at 3336 steps so far, yikes! I aim to get at least 10k steps everyday but the past few weeks I have def been slipping.
