    104k steps the past 4 days so averaging about 25k a day which is due to working out a lot and being active at work.

    10/12 903
    10/13 4,928

    I got to log my stomach bug days since my pedometer keeps the last 7 days and I would pull on my pants, with it still in the pocket to go to the bathroom and such. :)
    Feeling better and hoping to get a walk in today.

    Suzandees -- way to go for posting your steps when you were ill. That shows great dedication to this challenge!

    10/14 -- 4277 -- unfortunately, I don't have a good excuse for not getting more steps in. I could have done some mall walking (the weather is kinda icky here), but I just wasn't all that motivated. Tomorrow is another day.

    I did some extra steps this evening when I had some time. I don't get the chance to get out and just walk like many of you mention so my idea is to just do laps around my house. I just walk my paths when I can and if possible try to do 10mins at a time at a good pace. It seems to work. I will note that you need to add some turns or figure eights so you're not always walking turning in the same direction or you'll get dizzy or lightheaded.

    I had a day like that a few days ago. A good nights rest should help and try again tomorrow!

    It does seem to work well for you! You do lots more steps than me and I usually get at least one walk in a day.

    Great job!
