Mrs T mentioned the 10,000 steps thing but I didn't know where she got the figure from. It certainly is unrealistic - I went for an even longer walk this lunchtime and my daily total is now at 5,334 ... almost as much as I managed during the entire day yesterday, but all I'm going to do for the rest of today is sit at my desk and then drive home, so my daily total is unlikely to exceed 6,000.
I walked for about 40 minutes today. If I get an entire hour for lunch tomorrow I'll see how much higher I can push it, but I'm willing to bet it's not going to get anywhere near 10,000.
Incidentally, my walking pace equates to about 3mph on level ground, so I think I probably covered about 2 miles - out from the office, down to the local playing field, twice round it (three junior footy fields in size), plus one lap of one of the pitches for a little extra distance, then back to the office.
