April - 10k a day Club

[10kstepsaday]

A new thread for 10k (or more) steps a day accountability for April! Come join us, everyone welcome 😃

March was not as successful for me but locking in for April and hoping to smash the 10k every day!!

10,021 steps today. It was on 8,000 and I was going to leave it at that, then decided I was just being lazy, so marched around the garden and house.
@Illbefinejustbloodyfine @Onegramatatime do you buy your books? I love having a real book to hold but recently I've been using Borrow Box, the free online library.

@Joolly2 , yes, i buy my books or i borrow. I am in a couple of book exchange groups.

Steps today (yesterday Tuesday) 14,041 steps.

@Joolly2 sometimes, i also use the library. I save books i like to my kindle wishlist and buy when on offer.

Yesterday, office day....

I am going to have to look up these books! I always plan to read a book a week, manage it for a month or two then read nothing for the rest of the year.

10,571 yesterday!

@Clearingaspace theres no way I could read a book a week although i started well this year, I have absolutely ground to a halt. Current book requires a bit more ...i dont know, proper reading, if that makes sense.

Surviving not thriving over here 😱
So tired, already in bed.

Yesterday was 9.5K
Today 7.4K

I have one more crazy busy day tomorrow and then I can breathe a bit!!

@Illbefinejustbloodyfine I have also read good things about manchester marathon!! I don't know who I am fooling bc 10k is the most I have run in a race, and that was a decade ago 🤣

Loving the side chat about books 😃 I am also a keen reader! I have added all the recommendations to my Want To Read List on Good Reads ✅ my favourite book of all time is Frankenstein! I love a horror! But generally read anything! We have a red phone box in our village which is now a book swap and I love going in there to pick out any old thing and just giving it a try

10,904 steps today.
Veg count - 5, but very small amounts.
@10kstepsaday we have a red phone box over the road doing nothing. I wonder if the parish council could be persuaded to turn it into a library.
Horror is my least favourite genre, it gives me nightmares. 😱
@Illbefinejustbloodyfine my reading habit was getting out of control, it was costing a fortune. Borrow box has been a revelation, all the lastest titles available for free. Only need a valid library card.
@Clearingaspace I've read 4 books in the last 7 days. In the summer I usually have a couple of months off and do other things. I can only do it because I'm not juggling work or children.

Evening ladies ...although you are all probably in bed lol.
A quiet step day for me today. I've been packing for my hols on Saturday, taking my running gear and also hoping to do a Park Run on the morning before I go.
Hope you all have a great weekend if I miss a few days posting x

.

@10kstepsaday ah we have tge phone box library too! I love it.

@Joolly2 oh really? I have a library card so will look into it. Thanks!

Yesterday was a lowish step day but not bad for a work day.

Well I missed it a few days but well happy with this average across April. The sunshine definitely helps 😊

Where on earth did April go? I just can't believe we are about to start another
month. I've been really pleased with my results for this month, a definite improvement on February/March. I can't work out how to get a graph for the month, too technical for me. 😄 I have graph envy @bugalugs45
I hope everyone signs up to the May thead so the help and encouragement can continue.

Agreed, I just did a double take at my watch when realizing today is that last day of April!! Where has that month gone?
We were all obviously having so much fun getting our steps in 😃

I haven't hit the 10K today, but my monthly average is 11k so I am very happy with that.
At some point I really want to get my rainbow (10k) for 100% of the month. The closest was Feb where I missed 1 day!
Unfortunately I know it won't be May, as I am on holiday for a couple of weeks - however will still be wearing my watch and getting as many steps as possible in.

Well done everyone on another brilliant month, you have all smashed and bring so much positivity and fun to the thread 🤩

I also am astoinded that April is over. A better day today, went for a little walk with my eldest son this evening, not far but tipped me over the 10k.

And mt 4 weekly average which I am over the moon with!

For yesterday

Today

This is literally on my iPhone health app, they did it for me 🤣. I don’t even own a smart watch lol

9500 yesterday - room to improve in may!

Here’s my April overview. So a few too many days where I didn’t hit the 10k aim, but my average was still over. Hopefully I’ll avoid illness in May and be able to improve on those numbers!

Thank you for this April thread, I’m delighted with my average step count for April. I definitely wouldn’t have been this motivated without the thread!

Goal for May is to get the average to 13k 😁

Ooh I lost this thread somehow!

14600 for me today and also did a short weights workout. So much easier on a non work day! I only logged 7500 yesterday but that was partly because I didn’t have a watch on and did gardening etc so actual steps were probably closer to 10000 🤞my average for the past 7 days is over 10000 even though I keep forgetting to put my watch back on/ charge it, so that is good 🥳

I think I have posted in the wrong thread …
