My target 10000 Steps
I'm taking part in the Stride for Stroke challenge!
I joined #TeamStroke for Stride for Stroke. I will be taking one step for each of the 1.3 million stroke survivors in the UK. The 1.3 million steps challenge works out at 10,000 steps a day for 130 days.
Stroke Association is here to support people to rebuild their lives after stroke. We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke, so we work with the stroke community to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support. We rely on your support to provide vital services, campaign for better stroke care and fund research into preventative and rehabilitative treatments.

Monday!
Tuesday 21st May If only I'd checked my fitbit before bed i would have realised i only needed 59 steps to get the 10k!!! Aaargh! I genuinely thought I was about 2k off my target so put it down as a lazy day.
My motivation
Wednesday 15th May
Help if you can.
Friday 3rd May I partly signed up for this challenge for selfish reasons, to motivate myself into exercise after a winter of slothing. The main motivation though was our Matthew. Having suffered a major stroke he's done incredibly well, with mostly the support of my sister to recover but still is facing more surgery and more recovery. Strokes can change everything, without any warning life turned upside down. Sadly the services from the NHS are lacking to say the least, so charities like Stroke Association are so important for the ongoing research needed to reduce the risk of others going through what Matthew has.
Oops!
Tuesday 30th Apr So, after a fun night Saturday, Sunday was a bit of a steps wash out! Monday I felt generally shattered so that was even worse! Sorry.
Fun steps!
Sunday 28th Apr
Smashed it!
Monday 22nd Apr
Monday!
Tuesday 9th Apr I'm actually proud of the 9329 steps yesterday as I was in a lot of back pain, do didn't expect to get anywhere near that! Still frustrating to miss the 10k by less than 700 steps though! Share
Inspiration!
Wednesday 3rd Apr
Surprise, Surprise
Saturday 23rd Mar Actually wasn't expecting to hit my target yesterday or today, having a horrible arthritis flare up. Just goes to show though that you can surprise yourself! Friday smashed my target and have already done the 10k today and it's only half 5! Nice time with family and some impromptu folk music in the bar we stopped in for "refreshments"!. Share
Rainy day walks
Wednesday 20th Mar
Smashed it Saturday!
Sunday 17th Mar Nearly 16000 steps while having fun! Spa day treat on Monday so might blob on the 10k but we'll see..... Share
Total so far!
Wednesday 13th Mar Of the 1.3 million steps I need to do to complete the challenge, so far I've done 298,290 from 12th Feb to 12th March. Not bad, eh?! Share
Yum!
Saturday 9th Mar
Thursday!
Friday 8th Mar Didn't quite hit the 10k yesterday, missed by 325 steps!! I only hope my over achieving on other days counts?! Haha Share
Lunch walk
Wednesday 6th Mar
Monday, Monday!
Tuesday 5th Mar
Day off!
Saturday 2nd Mar
Yesterday!
Thursday 29th Feb Well, that was lucky making the target seeing as I worked and went for tea with my lovely colleagues! Making the effort in the morning and at lunch to get the steps in ia definitely the best way to hit the 10k. Share
Saturday!
Sunday 25th Feb
Phew!!
Thursday 22nd Feb
Whatever the weather!
Tuesday 20th Feb
15th Feb
Friday 16th Feb I'm taking 9353 steps as a win! Yes, I could have walked up the street to get the 10k but honestly, I felt SO unwell with a head cold. I was in bed for 8pm so I'm hoping you let me off and count this as ok?! Share
1st day!!
Monday 12th Feb First day done! Over 10,000 steps done and not bedtime yet! Just another 129 days x 10,000 steps to go before end of June. Share
Practice makes perfect!
Sunday 11th Feb Tried out my evening route with Bess today. Working sat mostly on my backside, I'm going to need to get more steps in afterwards and because we're still in darker months I'll be sticking to roads, rather than the park or moors. Wish me luck! Share
Inspiration!
Monday 5th Feb The support for people who suffer a stroke and those around them is sadly lacking, anything we can do to improve that is so important, so this is my small contribution. On a selfish note, it'll motivate me to get my lazy ass in gear! Thanks for your support! X ShareThank you to my sponsors
