Anyone care to join me in a 30 day walking challenge?

24C on the car thermometer here today (Hampshire). Had a fire lit on Sunday though.

I have my fire lit! Barbeques?!

Only did my 4000 odd walk but did have a swim before that.
Stupid pedometer still hasn't come

12000 here, just sitting out enjoying our first bbq of the year.

I've only counted 1300 today but reckon I did about 3000 more at lunchtime. Sunset beach walk sounds much nicer though!

I'm being torn between two hobbies and two MN threads on these light evenings, walking versus gardening, at least when I go to the allotment I walk there, but I did gardening at home tonight. I'm also supposed to be studying

Managed 20 mins to beach and back at sunset. Lovely. Uncounted…….i phone conked out

5641 steps on my walk, was walking into the wind, it slowed me down

I am now on 14,416! < preen >

My feet feel like something from Tom and Jerry, throbbing they are.

But . . . today was my day off. When I am back at work tomorrow I don't think I shall get a very high score at all.

(On Sunday we had a day out with what I thought was a lot of walking - I was so proud when my bleeper went off to say I had done 7000 steps. Now look at me! )

Now I am looking for comfy walking shoes for the summer.

My pedometer still hasn't come, so I dont know what Im doing during the say. Though I was sitting for most of the day in work.
I have a stonking headache but DH sayshe will come out with me tonight so Im going to make the effort.
My legs are feeling much stronger.
I made a Pinterest board on walking I was reading that you should walk as if you were showing someone behind you the bottom of your foot. Im a bit flat footed so Ive been trying to do this.

I've done about 3000 today, again I've just been wandering around my classroom, and I walked over to the dinner hall for some lunch. I wish I had time at lunch to go for a walk but I barely have time to eat between detentions and helping kids who ask about their homework etc. None of that is active but it IS exhausting.

I'm going swimming tonight, and then out to an evening class, so probably not much chance to do much walking tonight either. I'll see what I can fit in, but I can't imagine it'll be 7000 steps.

So I have had a meander up the local shopping street with the smalls, so neither far nor fast, about 2 miles total. I think I will go out when DH gets back for a brisk walk round the lake, but which time I might have figured out a pedometer app. I've got an iPhone 5, bit clunky.

Have done my 9000 steps target for today already - woo hoo! Should get a couple more thousand before bed tonight I hope.

(My bum and feet ache)

I am REALLY getting into this.

I managed to get over the 10,000 mark by pacing round the house for 10 mins before bed last night. Unfortunately I have come to work without either my phone or my Fitbit today (both were on charge overnight and forgot to pick them up) so my planned lunchtime walk won't get counted.

I'm on track so far as I managed over 7500 steps yesterday. It's just a shame that cycling doesn't count as I did three times as much as normal - to DS's school and back twice at lunchtime (end of the school day) as I forgot the key for his bike lock the first time, and then straight on to pick up DD2 (who normally cycles home with next door neighbour but wasn't able to yesterday and she's not confident about cycling on her own yet). There's no way I'd have had time to walk that distance, though; by the time we were finally home and had had lunch, it was a rush to get to our dentist's appointment as it was.

Think I need to do 6000 steps today, but must check. I'm on just over 2000 atm so need to get moving.

I've done terribly today. I've only done 4000 steps, none of which were part of a proper walk, all just walking around my classroom. I just haven't had time, I always forget during the holidays just how busy term time is.

Just wanted to say if there are plenty of Leslie Sansone's walking workouts on youtube if any of you are interested, they're great when you don't fancy going out or it's raining. I did them a lot when I was pregnant as they got my heart pumping without the high impact moves. Just type in Leslie Sansone or walking workouts.

Which iphone have you got Mary? Has it got the built in Health app? There's a step counting function on that but I think it may only be on the newer phones, DH has it on his 5s.

I'm using the Strava app to measure my distances and map them, but I would like something that combines step count and distance/mapping all in one.

Up to 9700 due to a last minute trip to Sainsburys where I walked around for twice as long as I really needed to.

Walked to and from yoga (on 10 mins each way ) but makes an hour. this is very pleasing.

Anyone recommend pedometer app for iphone?

Been to the allotment, now on 8200. These light evenings definitely help

It would have been nicer if it wasn't raining

Did 6, 499 steps. I have sore thighs now.

I'm on just under 5000 so far, walked to Homebase and back in my lunch hour instead of driving. Will go to the allotment in a bit too.
