With a week left on the Steptember challenge, I'm pleased to say I will go above and beyond the required 300,000 steps I set out to do at the start of the month.
As of this evening, I've done 287,000 steps - which when you think about it, is a bit of an achievement.
What's even better, I'm enjoying the commitment to this challenge. Take today for example. It was a day of knitting and selling stuff on Facebook Marketplace (I'm getting rid of a heap of stuff I don't need - and it is wonderful) and having a quiet one. At about five thirty I looked at my steps - 2000 for the day. So the trainers were slapped on and I did a big circle of Richmond, taking in Church Street, Bridge Road, along the river, a quick trip to the supermarket, then home. I was up to 12000 steps when I got home - feeling a lot better for the schlep.
Another good way of accumulating steps is Annie's cardio class - which unfortunately will be stopping next week as she'll be taking a well earned break. Her half-hour tabata cardio class, which has you lunging, skating, squatting - you name it. I came away with another 2000 steps in my Apple watch. It's a good hack to know.
But with a week to spare, I reckon I'm going to try and see if I can make 400,000 steps for the month.
I like the challenge.
