7764 steps yesterday.  It was windy and a bit on the cool side so I didn't try very hard after I got to 7K.

8,851 steps yesterday.

Knee is still sore, I got a brace today when I was out running errands. Not sure if I like it or if it is making things worse.

11,033 steps yesterday.  Enjoying the warmer weather right now.  I set my road bike up on the training stand yesterday to try it out and see how my knees felt about it.  Happy to say that my knees were not giving me problems except that the resistance I have set makes it a lot different from walking.  I am using muscles I haven't used for a very long time.  I only went for 7 min. and did one mile before I had to quit.  I am going to try and do this as a regular thing and see how much I can improve.  Walking after I got off of the bike was a bit wobbly.   :D

@bsg, hope your knee heals soon and stops troubling you

I have been going to the gym about 50% of the evenings. I wish I could do more but there are things personal and professional that are keeping me tied.
My life is based on a true story.

8359 steps yesterday.  I took it a little easier yesterday also.  My knee started to complain a bit later in the day and I backed off.  I haven't worn the knee brace for quite a while but may need to.

6,164 steps yesterday.

Knee a little better today. I didn't wear the brace much yesterday as I noticed my opposite hip started hurting. I think the brace altered my gait and put a strain on my hip. Will test that theory in a few days...

10,730 steps yesterday.  I tried the bike again yesterday and it is going to take some work to build up the strength in my legs.
Yeah Barbara, I found out after I broke my hip that a change in gait can cause all kinds of problems.  I had that happen when I was using a cane.  I haven't had that from the knee brace but I can see that it could be a problem.  I try to walk in the best posture I can and as normal as I can and it seems to help.

9698 steps yesterday.  I had to put the knee brace on yesterday afternoon.  I haven't used it for quite a while but yesterday my knee started to get onery.  I'll have to see how it does today.
