Hi all, I thought I would chime into the conversation. I agree with many of the ideas that have already been shared. I tend to walk a lot. Since the national fitness challenge begin I walk more. I commute on public transportation to and from several jobs. I even walk home from time to time and I walk between my home visits. I do try to keep up with Jean but sometimes by the end of the day I'm just done and try to do my personal best. I also run or get some miles in on my treadmill. It is a struggle for me during the work week. Fortunately, we have two weeks of school left. I also get in a few more steps when I go over to the nearby coffee shop. I walk at lunchtime and I take breaks throughout my day. My school is a quadrangle so I can get steps in that way too. OK my last idea is that I try to get so many steps in in the morning, during my lunch break, before the end of the school day, and before I go to sleep at night. I break it down that way.
