    There are only a few of us active on here, I'm sure more will come on board in time. I'm currently the back marker but i'm improving and I've got a plan on how to up my distance so keep it up or we will be swapping places.
    Good on you @cnarch636 for running well done. @samanthalaroche are you just counting walking kms towards the 500 or your cycling as well ? I reckon count both but you can hit the 500 walking so why not go for 500 of each ? 2 rides a week would do it.

    Counting separately, but having an op on 19th, so may need all the km I can get to reach 500km!;) Had a back issue & not been on bike since March. Chiropractor said to try & see, so first outing Saturday & all is great..... so far. I am not a fitness fast cyclist, more a leisurely Sunday cycler to take in the views

    @samanthalaroche I can't walk more than 2000 steps in one go, its too painful, today I did lots of 400's and aim for 4x2000 you did awesome today, well done, no work helps, I can't work for 6 months & I'm just over the border Devon.

    13000 steps up to now today for me :-)

    I've never undertaken one of these challenges before on mfp, never kind of saw the point because I did loads of exercise, but now in the position I am this is working well for me, accountability, seeing what others do, I've really dug in to do the last 2 days, went back to bed this morning for an extra 2 hours because I'm tired. I can't work at the moment (6 months) so i'm guessing that makes it easier for me, then again does it ?

    Hello, everyone. I'm a new entrant here. Trying to do 7 or so km each day, so I should make it. I love to walk and can't run any more (arthritis) so I'm training to race walk. Any race walkers here?

    @cnarch636 we should see how we do & start a new challenge from November, need that extra push on dark wintery days & accountability is motivating. Hope your back is coping @andysport1. Have a happy active day guys!
