My hospital is sponsoring an incentive to earn money for the amount of activity you log by the end of 2012. The goal is 7000 steps per day. I can earn up to $500 if I consistently log my steps and other exercising onto their website.
Today, I proudly posted my goal on Facebook, to hold myself more accountable.
When I received a bunch of comments almost immediately, I felt so encouraged.
Til I read them a bit closer...
"7000 miles per day! Are you an airplane???"
and
" Is that Heather Kelsey or Forrest Gump?"
Rather than type 7000 steps as my daily goal, I typed 7000 "miles".
I am still laughing to myself!
Do you own a pedometer? Could you walk 7000 steps a day? What about 7000 miles?

I can't wait to get mine! Anxious to hear how many steps you take each day ;) with training for that 15K it shouldn't be any problem.
I should really check into getting a pedometer. Do you recommend the one you got? Can you tell me a little about it? I had a cheap one a few years ago, but I didn't feel like it really did it's job. Good luck with your challenge!
I had seen that & totally laughed :)
I try to get 10,000 steps a day myself. They say 10,000 steps is the same as loosing one pound :)
I read it and didn't even notice! I remember thinking 7,000 seemed like a lot but didn't even register the next word. Probably because the baby was trying to climb on my desk again ... At least that's the excuse I'm going with.
