9,628 steps yesterday.

Wally, it actually works pretty well. I started with 1# weights and just recently moved up to the 2# ones.  The only drawback is sometimes I think I slow down a bit as I am counting reps.

8265 steps yesterday.  It looks like the wind has gone and it is finally warming up.  Daylight Savings time starting this coming Sunday, 3/11, so longer days also.

8026 steps yesterday.  Right now 8K is a good day for me so I am happy with that.  If I can keep it up day to day that is a real plus.

8783 steps yesterday.  It's starting to warm up so walking outside is nicer now.  Daylight Savings Time starts this Sunday so longer days will also help.  One of my limitations is how far I can walk continuously until I have to stop and that has gone from 250 steps to 500 steps.

9193 steps yesterday.  So far my knee is doing well.  Hope it continues.  My best hour was 1800 steps walking the aisles of Walmart so I can do it but I noticed it afterwards.

I'm now at about 80% of my routine. But I'm not doing much running yet, especially the higher speed runs.

7,604 steps yesterday. Driving to and from the hospital and waiting around there seriously bit into my stepping time.

Today my left knee is extremely sore, taking it really easy.

I forgot to post this morning.  8030 steps yesterday.  It started raining yesterday around 9:00 AM.  A drizzle at first but then a light but steady rain all day so I was inside most of the day.  Soreness went away after I walked for a short bit and that is normal so not an excuse.
