Sunday wasn't too bad. Managed to get a walk in, no photos as I didn't take me phone out with me! Completed another 15,495 steps.

14,000 yesterday pretty much in one, 2 hour 11km stomp!

With today, now gone past 75.000 steps! Not bad for 5 days!
 
So, I have just broken the 100,000 steps mark within the week - so on target to complete 1.4m steps if I keep it up! Might have to stretch the target to 1.7m.

I have started running some of them also (did 8km walk today, ran 1km of it (walked, then ran until HR got to 160bpm, let it drop to 120bpm then repeated), tomorrow, will aim to run 1.15km, and so on until I am running the lot come end of September!).
 
I've broken the 100k step mark too. Will update steps later. I'll have to work extra hard with my steps as I've just booked a 10 day holiday in August. Done almost 13000 steps so far today, not bad for my day off. Did have a nice walk to gp surgery for the dreaded hba1c blood test this morning.
Picture of me in local park in large coffee walking home after visiting vampires!

Well done
 
10 full day in and it's not going too badly. It's been quite busy in work and that definitely helps towards the step total. I should hit the 200,000 steps by the end of today. I'm on target for completing the 1.7 million steps on time.
Here's my steps so far.
Day 1 - 19356
Day 2 - 18286
Day 3 - 17631
Day 4 - 15495
Day 5 - 18854
Day 6 - 19866
Day 7 - 19744
Day 8 - 17941
Day 9 - 18447
Day 10 - 20375
Total - 185,995
Left to go - 1,514,005
 
I am ahead of target at the moment but only pushing for 1 million. I have started running stretches of my “walks” and i’ve noticed this is actually bringing my step count down! Quite annoying - but ultimately my fitness is improving so its a fair trade off!
 
Great stuff to all of you taking part!

Brilliant to see your progress.
 
Broke another barrier today, although think I may need to rest the legs for a day soon! 15% complete……in 11 days, 81 to go.

It's gonna be a hot Strollercise class today. I'm doing the London Poppy quest 10km tomorrow. So will do a proper update tomorrow evening. Steps going good.

Good luck! Wear a hat! Going to have a run in a bit then go for a swim down the beach.

I passed 200,000 steps yesterday- 20% complete! And my sponsorship rose to £380 so its all going well!
 
What a scorcher!!! Took part in the London Poppy Quest today. Its a 10km walk looking for clues to answer questions as you go. I done the walk with my best mate and her sister. This year's walk started and finished at the Royal Naval College and took us round Greenwich Park and surrounding areas.
The worst part was walking up Maze Hill and up to Greenwich observatory. But it was worth the views once up there.
It took us a little bit longer than normal but the heat didn't help.
Total steps today so far - 26899
Total steps completed (not including today) ' 311213
Steps left to go - 1,388,787.

Here's a few pics from today.

Passed the quarter mark yesterday with a lunchtime 6km walk - in that scorching heat!!! Earned this!

Well done. I've crossed the 350,000 steps barrier now.
I can’t keep up with you with my lazy ar@e office job, having to make a big effort to get the 2 hours a day exercise in already! I’m in awe!

However - I don’t need to keep up with you, just support you!

Have doubled your donations, you deserve the T-shirt! My donation will get you the key ring, another £100 and the T-shirt is yours!

Thank you for your very kind donation. X
I used to do an office job so I know its not easy to always get steps in. I'm lucky where I work it's busy and I'm always walking round on my 8 hour shifts, plus it's just over a mile from home to work.
 
One good turn deserves another. I got a $100 donation from a colleague in California last night. Got international investment going on here! £70 off my target now (on £430 trying to hit £500)
