6748 steps, 1 hour 17 min. and 6/12 hours yesterday.  When I realized that I had made it to 70,000 + steps for the week I decided to take it easy for the rest of the day.  Final total for the week was 77,102 steps and that is pretty good for me.

11,315 steps, 1 hour 56 min. and 12/12 hours yesterday.  Getting around 1,000 steps/hour is working well for me.  It helps to spread my walking out through the day.

11,787 steps, 1 hour 53 min. and 12/12 hours yesterday.  The pain in my lower back and legs is back again but as counter intuitive as it seems the best thing for it seems to walk.  It takes a bit to get going but then I don't have the problem.  Strange that it seems that laying down is the worst for it and sitting also is a problem.  So far I am doing OK once I get walking.

Both of you are doing great. 20k and 12k are great numbers. I'm going to start with my workouts soon.

Wally, how about lying on your stomach? Is that painful too?

12,493 steps, 2 hours 13 min. and 12/12 hours yesterday. 
SKB, I can't be comfortable sleeping on my stomach and I normally sleep on my side.  I don't have any pain when laying down but for some reason I don't understand it causes me to have a lot of pain in my lower back and legs when I get up.  Strange as it seems to me, once I am able to get up and moving it abates and the more I walk the better it gets.  Yesterday I could barely make it down the hall to the bathroom when I got up but after walking for a bit I had no problem.
