    12/14/15 Neighborhood Walk (2 - 5 lbs weights and 8 lbs weighted vest) 15,867 steps 8.04 miles 2:10:33 925 cals (Ankle is tender, 1st mile it smarted a little, but after that I just made sure I stayed straight. As long as I am gentle on stairs and bending, it is doing alright. A little swollen, but good.)

    12-12-15: I set out to hit the 40,000 step mark and ended up at over 45,000 steps, most of those coming on a 20.6 mile hike during the afternoon/evening.

    I am very impressed with the walkers who are logging long distances. I can usually get an hour of walking a day, but work and family get in the way.

    Another beautiful day, so Rudy and I logged an hour and 10 minutes, about 7 km.

    12/15/15 Neighborhood Walk (2 - 5 lbs weights and 8 lbs weighted vest) 12,066 steps 6.14 miles 1:38:31 711 cals (Ankle is the same today, but after 1/2 mile was good, tender on the down stairs. I do not wrap it, it makes it weak/ache. I want it to work and stay strong.)

    Walk short today, I have to get mom to her appointments. It was neat that I popped up out of bed at 6:45 AM to get some walking in though at 41 degrees.

    I'm really getting into these story telling podcasts. I finished listening to The Message (which is only 8 episodes and most episodes are less than 15 minutes long, so pretty short overall) and am now listening to Serial, which is much more involved.

    Today, I was at 17,776 steps...or just a shade under 8 miles.

    Yesterday was a good day! 15946 steps, 6.9 miles + a Zumba class. Head cold situation is much improved. It was a nasty one that flared up with a second round of fever/fatigue before it gave up the ghost!

    Whoops, forgot to log yesterday. Rudy and I completed almost 6km in an hour, and today we managed to get 6.7km in 70 minutes before it got too hot.

    So far no walking today because it has been too hot. I might go this evening if I have the energy. Went to the nice cool gym for an hour.

    Well, the temperature dropped enough to a 40 minute stroll, at a much slower pace than usual. But if I wasn't in this group, I would not have gone at all. So, yay for this group for getting me up off the couch.
