gradually increasing, about 3k today, had to go to the bank, so also climbed to the 10th floor of the car park instead of taking the lift. Hate being trapped in that little box, there is always someone with a cough and a kid with a runny nose :)

After a week or so hardly doing any that actually made my legs ache a bit, a couple of weeks ago I was doing a minimum of 7k and up to 12k and not noticing, amazing how quickly the body reacts. Steady rain today, can't see myself doing much, maybe go up the greenhouse and put some more pea and bean seeds in pots, not much walking there.

Not a lot, the missus sister and the brother in law came for the day, so lots of lovely eating and not a deal of walking. The other thing is I put on clean jeans, visitors coming, and forgot to take the counter out of my pocket until mid day. As a guesstimate I reckon about 5k.

6.9k today, getting there. By the time I have been to the bathroom a couple of times and out to the kitchen and back it will probably be 7k before I turn in.

Rubbish day for walking, charged up my battery and took my car in for testing, having not driven it for a couple of weeks because of my eye, then made marmalade. Rescued three mice from the cat one after the other. checked and watered tomato seeds on the windowsill. All very sedentary, one thing and another I didn't quite reach 2k steps today

I'm about ready for a break from this fencing project. Weather says expect rain Wed. and Thurs. so maybe a break is coming.

I knew I've been working hard on the "back 35" but did not realize how hard until I started recording my steps each day. I now suspect my daily step count has been averaging over 12,000 per day for a couple of years now.

Lost weight, stamina has improved remarkably, overall outlook never been greater...but a break would be nice. 🤠

It certainly does help general health and well being, but you could probably reduce by a third to8k and maintain that for quite a while.
Only 9am so not been anywhere yet.
