On The Move

Today was the first day of our annual “On The Move” challenge at work, where we record the number of steps we take each day for 8 weeks.  Having won a prize last year, naturally I am participating this year as well.  What will this mean?  I’m already doing a lot of weekday activities through a combination of lunchtime walks, evening walks and ping pong – so maybe I might make them a bit more intense.  But, in particular, I want to focus on the weekends where I’ve generally been pretty lax recently in getting out and doing/seeing stuff through a combination of feeling lousy and feeling indifferent.  This will change – I need to step up my weekend activities (which will hopefully also mean me being able to post more photos).  Especially if I want to target an average of 15,000 steps a day.  That’s a tough but achievable target, especially if it stays as dry as it has for the last few weeks – though ideally a touch cooler for that perfect walking/hiking weather.  Not a good start because although I've done over 18,000 steps today it feels like I've strained a leg muscle already on my first day...
