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!!

Life be life-ing sometimes @Illbefinejustbloodyfine
Hope this stressful time passes by soon for you. 🫶🏻

Yes please do continue to stay @MoneyJo
You are most welcome, whatever the goal is 🙂

Hope you feel better soon @Yesreallyitsme

10.9K today for me which included a morning run.

Thanks @10kstepsaday
I’m still full of cold but a better day steps wise which I’m pleased about. Determined to do the next C25k run tomorrow morning - and I have to now because I mentioned it here 😁

@MoneyJo please don't get hung up on 10,000 steps, it's just a number. Whatever steps you get one day, just try do do a few more the next day. That way your steps will grow. In no time at all you will get to 6,000 8,000 10,000, whatever your target is. We all get off days, ill days, and days when we are just too busy, the trick is not to beat yourself up about it. Life happens.
I've had a good day today, another walk with grandson so my number is a bit higher than normal 15,069

@MoneyJo , i agree with @Joolly2 . Making the effort to monitor your steps and trying to get them done ( no matter the number) is commendable. That conscientiousness would have you building on it a step at a time. Welldone!

I plan on taking a break tomorrow. Want to have a rest day.
Steps today about 17K.

A 10.3k steps day for me today. I am on my own with the kids till next week which means I won’t be able to get out much for long outside walks. I will have to focus on treadmill walks to get my steps in this weekend.

Thank you everyone. I am in awe of your achievements but am pressing on!

@OrientalPrinceInTheLandOfSoup I have entered a lical 10k which is on the 3rd may 😱 I "ran" 9k last weekend though so i know i can do it. Highly recommend Runna training app.

@10kstepsaday thank you. Longest running divorce ever (its fine, I wanted it but hes not complying) hes, well, there are no words. I thought we were sorted but apparently not. Well done on the run, and steps. 🙌

@SilenceInside I dont know how old your children are but mine love a dance party. We take it in turns to pick a song on youtube on the telly and dance away. Really helps the steps.

@MoneyJo keep at it. Just keep going and you will get there!

Pretty good result for me today, did yesterdays planned run. It was HARD. But i did it. Short walk with my mama tomorrow.

Evening all.
@Illbefinejustbloodyfine10k I'm in awe of you...you will have to let us know how you get on.
I'm planning on running 5k in the morn , hopefully I can tighten up the time a little more.
Had a fairly quiet day stepwise ..I like to come in around 18000 but a little less today. I dont drive and walk everywhere ,so my body is used to doing a certain amount of steps. In order to get the weight off I need to get in 18000 plus to make a difference. I'm trying to get to under 13stone before my holiday next Sat 🤞🤞

.

10.5k steps for me today, which all things considered is not too bad. I’m hoping to get up before the children and do a treadmill run tomorrow morning to get ahead on my steps.

My cold beat me today and the furthest I went is the garden, so 4K steps for me. Hopefully I will feel much better for it tomorrow

@OrientalPrinceInTheLandOfSoup oh wow thank you! I am not worthy of being in awe of!!

Went for a walk with my mum this morning and spent the rest of the day seething furiously. Seems to have done wonders for my steps

Wanted a rest day but had to do the school runs and th/4 other errands etc

Good evening, today has been a slow day for steps, I've managed to get to 9,068.

Forgot to post yesterday! So here is screenshot!
Haven't caught up properly with thread but I hope all is ok and everyone has a lovely weekend!

A running day today and good lord was it hot! I need to start getting out earlier.

I am feeling a bit more settled today thankfully and thank you to those who asked if I was ok.

I hope everyone else is having a good weekend.

10.2k steps for the record today.

Good step day yesterday...been out dancing again so I've already got 4000 steps in the bank for today! Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.

.

@Illbefinejustbloodyfine glad to hear you are more settled. 'This too will pass' is what i say on repeat when things get tough for me. From one of your previous posts, I suspect we are going through the same thing. Mine has been since 2019!

@OrientalPrinceInTheLandOfSoup , that's some lovely stepping. What kind of dance do you do? Sounds like you are having fun. Good on you.

Steps for yesterday 12,036.

Happy Sunday all!

@Yesreallyitsme hope you feel better soon!!
@Illbefinejustbloodyfine ah I can understand the stress!! I am super amazed that through it all you are hitting the steps and signing up to 10K races!!

Yesterdays steps was 9.2K, I was so tired though and in bed asleep by 9pm. Up early and out for a 5K this morning 🙌🏻 done in 37 so slowly chipping away at the time.

@Onegramatatime oh dear lord. Its so draining. Its been a rollercoaster this week and I dont want to speak too soon, but we might have an agreement next week. Sending strength!!

@10kstepsaday I used to ise exercise as a coping mechanism, then becane a single mum to 2 under 3 and just couldnt. Now they are a bit older, i can leave them for 40 minutes to get my 5k in. Its a game changer mentally. Well done on your early start!! Ive been watching the marathon from the armchair 😂

@Illbefinejustbloodyfine , everything crossed for you.
Not easy with DC but well done on still having the presence of mind to grab those 40mins when you can.

@10kstepsadaythank you, still feeling a bit rough but managed 14k yesterday with various errands to run. Confident I’ll break the 10k barrier today too.

@Illbefinejustbloodyfinegetting out for those 40 minutes is inspiring- I don’t have the stresses you do, need to get better at motivation!
