    OMG Bruce!!! Sooooooo impressed! I want to get that one for my birthday in May with an epic hike around SF.
    Rest up; you've earned it.

    After several days of miserably low steps due to testing, parties, work, etc I managed to get two decent days in a row! 10735 steps Sunday, 4.6 miles and 13732 steps Monday, 5.9 miles. Still nowhere near 100k steps a week but I am resigned to the fact that the holiday season is a sticky wicket and I need to be patient with myself & others. My tolerance for the treadmill is increasing.
    (I'm up at 2:00 am because my college age daughter is home & at 1:00 am she came & got me in tears because she mislaid her purse somewhere out at dinner. So I walked her thru shutting down her bank card & now she's back asleep of course because she's 19 and I'm bolt awake as if I main lined coffee because I'm 52... life is so unfair! LOL)

    :)Bruce, 50.000 steps is an awesome accomplishment

    :)Alpha, we have rain here in NW Washington and snow in the mountains which means water in reserve for the summer so we are very happy even when wet

    :)scolaris, you are a great mom to help your daughter with the scary thing of losing a purse (at least at 19 she didn't have a pile of credit cards like we older folks do)....we used to live in Humboldt County and I know my friends there are welcoming the rain.

    When I visited Seattle, the weather was absolutely perfect. Sunny every day and I'm not sure there was even a cloud in the sky the whole week.

    Speaking of rain, tomorrows forecast is for 50's and rain showers. I usually walk to work and back but rain is the one thing that puts the kabosh on that. I guess I'll hope that there will be a window in the morning that I can make it home dry.

    Today I got in about 5.3 miles. I am sooo looking forward to this four day weekend coming up. The weather looks to be unseasonably warm and no real threat of rain/snow.

    Hey I just signed up for this in 2016:
    http://jacklondonpark.com/klondike-challenge.html
    I made a thread for it too...
    Any other Jack London fans in our group?
    Yesterday's steps were too pathetic to report. Aiming higher today but my Christmas Eve looks awfully busy...
    Merry merry everyone!
