2,424 here as I seem to have developed a annoying case of neuropathy in my feet.  I intend to keep trying however, so the neuropathy doesn't get worse.

Grammabear, good for you.  I think that doing what you can helps a lot.  I am glad that I am finally manage to get 10K+ after struggling for a long time.

Good idea Grammabear, just don't push too hard. I too have some numbness in my feet, but related to bulging discs in my low back. Walking does seem to help keep it at bay. How is the grandson doing?

6957 steps, 1 hour 5 min. and 12/12 hours yesterday.  I was really feeling tired yesterday and I don't know why, slept good so it's not that.  When I realized that I had passed 70K steps for the week I took it easy for the rest of the day and just made sure to get my 250+ steps/hour.  Total steps for the week ended up at 77,470 so not bad.

I had the same thing a couple of days ago, just felt tired for no known reason so held back some. While I am in CA, I most likely will not be getting so many steps while there. I'll try for my 8,000 to 10,000, but if I don't make it I won't sweat it either.

11,453 steps, 1 hour 50 min. and 12/12 hours yesterday.  I guess my tiredness is from a touch of a bug.  I was stuffy and had a cough yesterday along with feeling a bit more tired than usual but still better than Sunday.  Still a bit stuffed up today but doing a bit better.

Thanks Wally, I am looking forward to seeing the grands again, especially little Leo who has probably changed a lot since I last saw him!

10,231 steps, 1 hour 36 min. and 12/12 hours yesterday.  With the doctors appt. and other things I didn't think I would actually get to 10K but I just did.  Today because of the work I have to do on my car I don't think I will get there.
