Here are my results from the 10K Daily Steps challenge thread for September. Interest there has fizzled, so from now on I'll be tracking my activities here on a daily basis.

September was a good month towards my goal of staying physically fit. It wasn't my best month. It wasn't my worst. What isn't represented below is my weight training regimen. Kelsey and I have been hitting the weights at the Y religiously 2 or 3 times per week since May. Starting in October I'll start logging the days that we lift weights. Up to now it has only been upper body weight training. I plan to start doing some leg work going forward.

I'm going to be hanging up my running shoes for a while. I've never had any success losing weight when jogging is part of my regular routine. The only time that I did any jogging on my 30 month trek to goal was that 4 week period before my first 10K in 2016. I need to lose some weight. Hopefully NOT jogging will help. I like walking. I like hiking. Weight lifting will make me stronger. Those are the things I'll be doing for now.

In less than 2 weeks the whole family will be going on a week long vacation in the mountains (Kassie is flying in from Oregon). We plan to do some hiking, some biking and lots of walking. We should be seeing some nice fall colors as well. Work has been crazy busy the past week. I'm looking forward to some time off.
