11,179 steps, 1 hour 47 min. yesterday.  It looks like I need to get around 1 1/2 hours walking time to get 10K steps.  That is about as much time as I am willing to devote to walking right now.  I think 10K is good with also making sure that i get steps in each hour during the day.

8362 steps, 2 hours 6 min. yesterday.  My getting up really threw my day off but I don't know why my walking time is that high and my steps so low.  I get steps from my Fitbit and time from the iPhone App.  Might just be a fluke but there was an update recently of the App that said it improved the walking time so maybe that was it.

14,496 steps yesterday. 5 hours 55 mins. Yeah Wally my walking time is really high since the update. The Health app apparently updated with the iOS upgrade and I can't find time of walking on it yet to compare.

11,025 steps, 2 hours 52 min. yesterday.  I had one day with less then 10K but I managed to get a weekly total over 70K so happy about that.
I don't know if the new time count in the app is right with the update or if it was closer before.  I don't see any reference to time in the Apple health app either so the walking app is the only place I see time listed.  Fitbit doesn't keep track of time either and that is one reason I started using the app.  I think I will try to check it with a stop watch to see how close it is.

16,720 steps yesterday. 6 hours 6 mins. That just seems like a lot of time walking. I'm not sure I trust the time count.

11,869 steps yesterday.  I am going to stop putting the time in.  The app may be right but I am not sure and really steps are what counts.  I started keeping track of time when AARP had a challenge to walk at least 30 min. a day and that was for a month where we recorded the daily total.

It does sound like that the time count is wrong.

10,357 steps yesterday.  I was busy taking care of some things and didn't think I would even get to 10K but just did.

10,522 steps yesterday. Just glad to be able to keep getting to 10K.  I am making my steps each hour also and that is a goal of mine.
