10 000 steps shallonge DISCUSSION

[Irongirl]

Are we supposed to start reporting?

I did 6578 yesterday.

no reporting "required" - this first week is to get your average - from there, we'll set goals.

Partially so that we didn't have unrealistic goals, and, partially since a lot of us couldn't find our pedometers!

[scrumhalfgirl]

Kiza - were you able to figure out if that other one works? Otherwise my total for yesterday is...wait for it....3 steps.

You're easing your way into this, are you?

exactly - let's not go all crazy on the first day!

I wore my ipod for 3 hours yesterday and it recorded 195 steps. So, guess that won't work!

If anyone is still in need of a pedometer, PM me and I'll throw it in the mail to you. New, in-box, the same model as the one I calibrated bang-on the other night.

bump.

Here's a link to a Walk For Life website that converts any activity to steps..and can convert your miles walked into steps..just an FYI...

(It was sent to me as part of a "100 mile Challenge" going on at work where you are encouraged to convert any activity to miles in order to see how quickly you can add up to 100 miles)

Thanks for the laugh!

[ultraslacker]

did you guys ever settle on an approximate steps per mile?

[Irongirl]

no, I think the other one needs a new battery (I know that you are getting Turds), but, I wanted to answer your question!

[jgore]

(I know that you are getting Turds)

That would have given a much better impression with the apostrophe?

[turd ferguson]

did you guys ever settle on an approximate steps per mile?

No. 5280 feet per mile, figure out how big your step is, do the math. I imagine for someone wee like JoJo its six or seven thousand.

hm... the size of my steps vary depending on whether I have a puppy with me or not (and then whether he's off-leash or on...).

So far today I've walked 5 miles, and will add another 3 miles by bedtime... I'm guessing that's well over 10,000? And that's an average day for me (those of you with dogs--walk them! then 10,000 is easy peasy... and it's better for the pup too ;).

[Irongirl]

so, do you want in on the challenge, Holly?

the challenge looks like it's going to be - take your average from this week, and try to up it by 10, 15 or 20 % from now on....

nope, I was just curious about how many steps I'm already doing.

I think 8 miles a day is plenty, particularly when I'm still recovering from two major injuries. :)

[braveheart]

I just got a package from Andy! I will measure my steps this week.

I'm not "wee"....I have some vertical challenges

Seriously...I actually find being called "wee" sorta endearing...I'll buy you a beer at NCM

[garth]

I have a cheap pedometer (that resets itself every time I put on my seat belt) but i wore it running on the tread mill tonight and it recorder 3500 steps for 3 miles (5k) of running.

I think I still owe you a beer from when I showed up at dinner in Vancouver with a couple of nickels in my wallet.

[Irongirl]

wow. I purposely didn't add steps today (except for a *$ visit)....and, my pedometer currently reads a little less than 3000.

wow.

[garth]

I am so tempted to put a pedometer on C-Moss during the day...just to see how lazy she really is during the day

I wonder what would happen if you attached that to a three legged dog.
