10,192 steps yesterday.   A good day for me.  I went to Walmart for some things and racked up 2216 steps in one hour when I was there.  That is a lot for me but then it was cool there !   :D

2,813 steps yesterday.

I pushed a little yesterday, but today I am only walking until it starts to hurt. I get 80-100 steps each time. My knee is better, but my thigh and hip are still pretty sore. Today will probably be lower.

I need to go out tomorrow to PO and to get more Aleve/Advil, don't quite know how I am going to do that...

10,635 steps yesterday.  I am feeling pretty good right now so we will see how long that lasts.  It is cooling down a bit but the winds are supposed to start up this afternoon with possible gusts up to 50 MPH.

Barely worth reporting, 2,193 steps yesterday. I didn't push at all, just walking to do what had to be done.

Errands today will bring a higher number, but once I got home, not pushing it again. Did get some new Aleve today (what I had was long ago expired so probably not much good) and that is helping some.

8112 steps yesterday.  I was doing pretty good but the winds really picked up yesterday afternoon and I decided that I would slack off. 
Barbara, I think taking it easy for a while would probably help.  Hope you get better soon.

4,939 steps yesterday.

The shopping added on the steps. But I paid in pain later in the day. The Aleve is helping, but I can still only do about 100 steps before it hurts too much. Taking it slow today. I do think I am slowly getting better, but this may be a long haul.

As promised I start with gym tomorrow. Sarge was very happy to know that. In all these days of activity I haven't gained weight because of the food that I eat, but I have lost a lot of muscle and I want it back.  ;D

9442 steps yesterday.  Nice weather and it looks like the same for the rest of the week.  I'm hoping to keep it going.
Barbara, you may be right.  Sometimes you just have to give it time to heal.

Still taking it way easy! I can get to 150+ steps before I have to stop, so some improvement. DS says get outside and walk...not going to happen, he has no clue how hard it is to walk on uneven ground.

10,677 steps yesterday.  The weather is helping me a lot right now. 
I agree Barbara.  Walking on uneven ground is a temptation for disaster.  I am lucky here as this house has a very large back yard and a lot of concrete plus I can go out and walk on sidewalks so it is very easy to find good places to walk outside.  That is good because I really don't like walking inside.

I think I am getting a little better, but not pushing it still.

9688 steps yesterday.  I went out around 6:30 this morning and my legs are sore.  It may go away in a bit but then maybe not. 
Barbara, that is a good sign and not pushing it is a good thing.

10,909 steps yesterday.  My leg muscles were sore yesterday starting out but it got better as I walked.
Barbara, glad that you are improving.  It wasn't that long ago that I had a really difficult time making it to 7K and I really believed thay I would never see 10K again but I have been doing a lot better than I would have expected.  I'm thankful for that as long as it lasts.  I'm sure you will be seeing an improvement as you heal.
