Pedometer Challenge

Today is the first day of my work's team pedometer challenge. The challenge is to do as many steps as possible within 56 days. The team with the highest number of steps in total wins the challenge.

However, my pedometer reset itself during my gym session this morning. Luckily I started using my pedometer a week before to "rehearse" for the challenge, so I know I would have done around 4000 steps when I was in the gym...

...until I realise I do, on average, around 30,000 steps per day anyway. The maximum amount of steps that we can enter is 37,500…so I am thinking whether I could be bothered adding that extra 4K...geez the Lazy one is one big stepping machine!

At the conditioning session today we did a finisher that involved 5 rounds of burpees and 200m run. I didn’t fare too well because I felt I could have ran faster and burped faster. I must still be tired. My back was also in pain too. Maybe I am finally a runner...because I always have some niggles somewhere on my poor body.

Despite the pain, I did a 10KM home today. I passed this park called Pioneer Park at Marsfield. It’s an awesome park that has some outdoor fitness circuits. I stopped for about 5 minutes to do some pull-ups. I love pull ups...I am so glad I can able to do them. Pull-up is such an incredible form of exercise, along with push ups, lunges and squats.  Your body tones up so quickly with these simple exercises.

It also keeps my core and legs in tip top shape for the marathon too.

So 9KM down and three more shorty runs to go. And the Sunday long run of course……

Rope...I think they are for kids because the ropes are so skinny...

If I start climbing it, it might **snap**
