At the moment - home to work is about 8 steps from the kitchen into the temporary office! Its a nightmare for steps!
 
Sorry I've not updated for a while its been a bit hectic lately.
Steps are still racking up and I've past the 500,000 mark now.

I'm still on my way to completing the 1.7 million steps by the end of September. Hoping the weather stays OK so I can get some walks in before my holiday in just over 3 weeks time.

Total steps so far - 536,072
Steps left to go - 1,163,928

Awesome work!!!

I also hit the another milestone yesterday and still ahead of target to do the Million - but finding it harder at the moment as I have started running my steps and my legs need recovery days to get over that!! Had to take 2 rest days in the last 7. On the flip side - can now run 2km’s
without stopping - aiming for 5 by the end of August!!

Well done. I tried running once and realised it wasn't for me. I'll stick to me walking.
 
Amazing stuff you two! Really inspiring. Thanks for keeping us updated 🙂
 
A quick update for you all. Steps still going good as work is busy and we're short staffed most days! Add in Strollercise and extra walking I've now passed the 600,000 step mark.

I'm still doing some walking on my days off to make sure I keep my steps up.
Total steps so far - 668,679
Steps left to go - 1,032,321

As always, you = hero!

I'm trotting along behind you at 527,000 steps.
 
Well done
 
Well done Stitch! Your effort is indeed heroic! As is yours Eddy!

I am pulling up the rear on around 450,000 at the moment - my pace has really slowed over the last two weeks as I have been forced back to the office and its a 3 hour commute daily to do that which has really sucked the hours out of my day.

I am also running most of my steps now which is dragging my total now. However my cardio health (VO2 Max) has moved up a category from a shameful “low” to a slightly less disappointing “below average”, but I am on my way towards above average and feeling better for it! Getting fitter by the day.

My libre freestyle app is indicating a average HbA1C of 33 at the moment which is cracking!!

On holiday soon so will shove the pace up and believe I am still on target to do this! Also up stupidly early today to squeeze 10,000 in on the treadmill before the day really starts and should do another 10-15 today with dog walking and running about.
 
Well I've now passed the 850,000 steps mark.
I've completed 879,407 steps so far. I should be able to complete the 1.7 million steps by the end of September. It looks like my holiday next week is going ahead, so I'll have to make sure I get some walks in before and after I'm away.

I'm almost at the 1 million step mark, hoping to reach that milestone over the weekend.

Being able to walk extra before and after work, plus running around at work some days when it's busy definitely helps. I can go away on my holiday next week knowing that I'll be able to hit the 1.7 million steps by the end of September.

Good Effort!! Not sure what sort of holiday your doing, but I am on holiday at the moment and it has given my steps a boost, just passed 600K which is great, defo on for the million at the moment!

I'm off to lanzarote for 10 nights from Monday. Will probably get in about 10,000 steps a day.
 
I've passed the 1 million step mark! Just under 700,000 to go now. I can relax a bit whilst on my holiday now. As long as I get the minimum of 10,000 steps a day, I should still be on target for reaching 1.7 million by the end of September.

Excellent!

Me = 768K, a bit over three quarters of a Stitch 🙂
 
Well, despite being on holiday and sunning myself in rather hot lanzarote, still getting my steps in. As well as a minimum of 3 walks a day (after breakfast, after lunch and after dinner) I'm taking part in many of the daily activities including, rifle shooting, archery, water polo, water volleyball, French boules, darts and aqua gym. I thought I was coming away to relax!!!

And yes, I am a 45 year old with a Stitch swimsuit!
 
Well I'm back after my 10 day holiday and boy did I need it. I still managed to get a fair amount of steps in whilst I was away. I've now passed the 1.2 million step mark. I'm back to work tomorrow so should be able to make it to the 1.7 mark by the end of the month.
