    I don't count my steps on the treadmill... I count those as a separate exercise...
    Is there an advantage to doing so; I mean besides having your step count go up?

    I think its about what best works for you. For me, I put my step counter on in the morning first thing and take it off just before I go to bed. I use it as a way to keep me moving all day so I count everything - except when I go biking - I take it off then.

    I want to join! I am working on 100k weeks. Yesterday was 20221 steps. I work in education as a sub so I get lots of on-the-job steps, then augment with walks and hikes in the evenings and on weekends. I love step counting because even on your worst days or busiest days you can usually find somewhere to fit in a few more steps.

    14928 steps today... I would normally go around the block one more time to get over 15000 but instead I'm going to put my feet in an ice bath & 'chill' in both the literal AND metaphorical sense here on my couch! Happy Labor Day weekend!! xoL

    18335 for me today, about 13000 of it either in cold surf up to my knees, or hot soft sand in the dunes. Both really helped my plantar fascias feel good. I need some orthotics I guess. Does any one here use superfeet?

    Def need to have the right inserts. My sneakers and hiking shoes had started bothering me. Hubby had sworn by inserts he bought at a sports store for years. I finally tried them and they have made a huge difference!

    Wow! Lots of stepping! The inserts are life changing, dancingj. I can tell already. Sadly, Sonoma county is in the grips of a 100+ degree heatwave & that is cramping my style (hahaha bad pun)... I will be lucky to get to 10k today. Thought I would walk some at my daughter's XCountry meet but it was so hot & dusty I hid in the shade. She finished the race with a massive bloody nose so instead of us walking downtown for an outdoor cafe dinner I drove her to an air conditioned place nearby. Challenging! Tomorrows a new day! Great job everyone. Love this inspiration. xo
