      7 days in - WooHoo!

      Jesus is Love - my old step counter started missing steps and was evenually reading about half of what I was doing. That is when I bought a new step counter.

      LamIam - welcome back!

      Nharley - some days just get crazy.

      Thanks! I may not be able to make it today - to much time sitting in my office today :( I guess I will need a long walk tonight...

      I have joined the 100 miles in March challenge which fits nicely with this one!

      3/1 = 11,644 :flowerforyou:
      3/2 = 13,178
      3/3 = 12,259
      3/4 = 15,712
      3/5 = 12,638 * Made myself take a walk at 5:30pm tonight. Had I not, I would have been reporting a very low step count today!
      3/6 = 2,262 * I had to stay home this morning to make phone calls before work. I worked an extra hour and after making dinner and eating I just didn't get out and walk. *sigh.*
      3/7 = 5,190 * Egads! I worked an 8 hour shift, went to my son's school to withdraw him before 10am.... and totally fell flat after skipping lunch (didn't get a 'lunch' break until 5:30 pm - worked 10am- 6pm) so didn't walk for exercise at all.
      3/8 = 5,130 * Another morning shift and no time to walk after work again. Tomorrow I don't go in until 1pm and the same for Sunday, so I hope to make up my steps lost the last three days then!

      3/7 -- 2983 (not a good start but things will get better)
      3/8 -- 3707 (ever so slowly the steps creep up. Maybe tomorrow I'll actually get a chance to do some good walking).

      how much do pedometers usually run?
    • Posts: 11 Member
      I'd like to get in on this, even though starting late. 10k/day is difficult with a sit-down job and plantar fasciitis for the past 9 months, but I will make my goal 7k for a bit and see where I land on average.

      Some here have paid as little as $4. Mine cost $30 but it is very small.

      And they only run as far you do:wink:

      Welcome!

      With this challenge its best just to jump in and see how many you do to start. I know when I first started I could be as low as 2000 steps and often did not make 10k.

      03/08= 6900 I should have walked a few more steps I could have reached that 7k.. Next time.

      When you need rest, you need rest. Your average daily steps is well over 10,000. Well done.

      We bought Fitbits and they have really helped us step up (pun intended). Since we bought them we have been a lot more active and try daily to get a min of 5k with most days ending between 7500-10000. As of today for the month of March I am at 72,259
      1 March - 5944

      I'm in! Good thing my pedometer tracks 7 days back. I just started using it on the 5th. My goal will be to do at least 8000. Not looking so good but will definitely do better!
