    Groovy November so far, over 70 degrees F, breezy, but not to last, severe storms moving in tonight to clash and bring in the colder temperatures.

    @winnie141 I go to three line dance classes each week---I teach one of them so I have to practice at home during the week---so when I'm not walking, I'm dancing.

    Here's a fun read I lifted from another thread, walkers:
    http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/diet-and-fitness/research-finds-increasing-steps-cuts-death-rate-by-48-20151104-gkr20v.html
    I walked 19573 steps, 8.4 miles.
    Happy walking...

    We don't often get 70° weather in November, so I had to get out and take advantage of that. Ended up with 9.25 miles. Tomorrow, the forecast is for mid-40's and blustery...so closer to normal weather. It was nice while it lasted.

    I just found this challenge but I'm in. I've been on my journey to return to the level of physical fitness, I was about 10 yrs ago when 5mi was a short walk. Granted I'm 10 yrs older but I can do it. So I'm in...if it's not too late.

    Me too walkinchik! I'm hoping to erase all my 40's baggage... LOL
    You'll be surprised how fast you bounce back. I try to get 100k steps a week & almost always succeed.

    Great job!
    Just 10077 steps for me, about 4.3 miles. My older daughter who is a sophomore @ Berkeley got her first full-blown flu at college & needed to be rescued for the weekend... Vitamin M(om)! Spent my walking window battling east bay rush hour traffic.
