I am a postlady, so I do a lot of walking when I'm on delivery, but one day a week I am in the office. It really surprised me, but when I wore my pedometer on my office day, I actually managed to reach 10,000 steps just during my 8 hour work day! I am on my feet most of the day, but a lot of that is stood still sorting mail, and I double checked to make sure that shuffling my feet was not making the number change, and repeatedly it wasn't! It was walking up and down the office that did it. So I think that it is possible to reach your 10,000 steps just by being generally active - shopping, housework, taking the rubbish out, going up steps, using a photocopier further from your desk or whatever! And then any recreational walking could be on top of that.
