Default 10,000 Step Challenge

How about taking the The 10,000 step challenge ?

How To play
Just post each day how many steps you’ve taken.



Ideally you’ll use a pedometer but alternatively if you don’t have one just note down how long you walk for and then give an estimate of the steps (10 minutes walking = roughly 1,000 steps) that you've taken.

The Prize
Just better physical and mental health for everyone who takes part, or at least the satisfaction of knowing you’ve done something today - even if it was just walking about a bit.

Bonus points
You only need to post how many steps you’ve taken that day to play - but feel free to post a bit of info about what you were doing, or where you went, when you did your steps. Maybe some photos too.

I always fancied being a postman but couldn't handle the early starts

You may have done a few more steps than that. Next time you go out use your watch and count how many steps you take in a minute. You can use that as a rough guideline from then on

50 = 3 trips to the loo.

A "couldn't be bothered and sat on my backside all day" mood.
