The 10,000-Step Goal

Shawn in Asheville is taking the Million Step March seriously. We have an update from him - he's using 10,000 steps daily as a yardstick. Great work Shawn! Here's his story:

"I have recently just gotten into walking/running and counting my steps and I love it! Just last week I met my first goal of 10,000 steps in a day. I was so excited that I have pushed myself too hard, and ended up injuring myself and had to take a few days off my feet. This was very disappointing, because the week before I found myself parking at the far end of the Ingles parking lot to get in a few extra steps on my pedometer.

"Today was my first day back in the gym and I only logged about 3,000 steps, 7,000 less then I would have liked. Tomorrow is a new day, and I will get back to my 10,000 steps!"
