    My goal is to average over 13,000 steps a day
    October 1--6.52 miles
    October 2--6.06 miles


    :) I carry my Omron pedometer with me all the time so this is all my walking for each day.

    Oct. 2nd: A very chilly 38° out this morning but a perfect day for a walk/run. I use the Mapmywalk app to keep track of my distance/pace, which I really like...except when I forget to stop my workout when I'm done and get in the car and drive home. Then it tells me I ran the last 5 miles at 50 m.p.h. HUGE calorie burn :p

    Anyway, managed to get in 10.2 miles today.

    Car burn is fab :wink: great run though!

    10 miles! Woot woot!
    And I love seeing the regional pictures! Keep 'em coming!

    I only walked a disappointing 9k steps or so yesterday because after my a.m. job I spontaneously went to see a matinee with my good friend & her houseguest. We saw The Martian with Matt Damon... Highly recommend! Turns out her houseguest was a colleague of The Martian's author at Lawrence Livermore Lab, so we got to hear background on how the story emerged in a fiction blog where he solved these crazy hypothetical science problems trying to keep his protagonist alive after being inadvertently abandoned on Mars. It developed a cult following, and then was optioned for film & tirned into a book. It's quite brilliant really & will keep you on the edge of your seat.

    Today's a new day; back on track...

    30 minutes
    1.6 miles
    8" incline
    3.5 mph

    I do plenty of other walking, between work, housework, and walking the dogs. But that is my legit good hard time of a sweat walk.
    It was an hour, but had decided to shave off 30 minutes of walk time for 30 more minutes of extra Zumba.
