 I'm close but with only a week left I need to step up my step game! The days are so short now here in Maine that it can be hard for me to get out and walk. I'm pushing myself to get my steps in and its working overall (other than the one week where I was basically a sloth) and I'm going to work even harder to get my average up to 10k for the month!

 This time of year in Wisconsin, I get out before sunrise with the dog, and we both wear LED / high visibility gear. Dog has an LED collar and blaze orange vest, and I wear an LED vest, high vis hat & headlamp with red light in the back on the battery pack. This past week, two other early a.m. walkers confirmed to me that we are highly visible in the dark (we walk on the edge of the road facing traffic since there are no sidewalks in our area). One person even called me a Xmas tree! LOL I've noticed more and more walkers are at least wearing reflective vests in my area.2

            October 30 steps taken were 21,060. I feel good about that! weather here is sunny, but very windy.
 Even tho walking inside isnt optimal, I do a lot of it when I can't get out for reasons.
 Traveling was the worst, sitting and watching things speed by, so wierd, and very few steps even though I felt tired as though I'd walked the miles intead of riding them!
 Happy to be on the firm ground again.
 October subtotal: 558,482 steps.0

            Oct. 31 I walked 14,030 steps.
 my total for October was 558,482.
 My goal was 620,000! I'm perfectly content with the results even though the goal I set wasn't realized.
 Best wishes all you walkers. 1 1
