My work place is participating in a walking program, where the goal for each person is 10,000 steps per day. Those of us that are participating (me!), were given a pedometer to help us track our steps. There are 3 teams and man, the competition is brutal. There have been threats and smack talk… and we don’t start until Monday (competition goes until 9/28)!
I’m looking forward to this, as I seem to have lost my running groove. I have a half-marathon approaching in late September, and my butt has been planted on the couch (my laptop is my friend!) or standing in front of my oven baking tasty treats.
I need to get my fitness mojo back. I try to eat healthy, but I’m not perfect. I mean, come on, I bake like 5 nights a week! I’m bound to nibble on delicious, chocolatey, gooey sweets once a day every once in a while!
So starting today, I am officially starting my workouts again. This mornings outdoor run kicks things off in the right direction.
4:30am running extras!
Anyone want to join me in counting their steps?
That’s so cool! I don’t have a pedometer, but I’m interested in seeing how your challenge goes!

I’ll post updates once a week. With all the running you do, 10,000 steps a day would be a piece of cake
