10,000 steps and counting ;)
As the title suggests that's what I am now doing EVERY day!
I have always tried to keep reasonably active. At times since my first diagnosis (yes had a little hiccup recurrence 3 years ago) 5 years...
10,000 steps a day is often hard to reach when you have a sedentary job/lifestyle. Last year I bought myself the cheapest and most simple fitbit and have tracked my steps most days. I was diagnosed with breast cancer exactly three years ago and once treatment was over decided I will do some things I had dreamed of and it all started with my step tracker. I organized to walk across Northern Spain, 800 kilometres from one side to the other. My only training was plenty of walking and determination. Late last August with two other West Australian ladies, we set off on our Camino. Over 35 days reached our goal and celebrated my 70th birthday along the way so MUM2JJ, don't worry about your 52 year old body, I, you and anybody can do this. I am not saying it was easy, far from it and now with my three year anniversary I am searching for something similar to achieve.
Best wishes to all, Judith S
