That comes to 335,195 steps for August, which translates to 158.7 miles. That's way better than July's 283,955 steps, so I'm happy enough. Of course I can still do much better, especially if I want to catch you, Jean.

Good for you Roz

I got to 301,182 for 133.7 miles

That has brought me to Newport Oregon on my Virtual walk around the world

Roz - Come winter here in Vermont with its cold temperatures and sidewalks and streets covered in ice and snow my steps are sure to plummet drastically and I am certain you will walk right by me and leave me in the dust. I don't know what I will do when winter comes.

For August my total steps are 453,178 which equals 181.3 miles.

Jean, I actually do very little of my walking outside. I have a major balance problem, and can only walk outside when I can get my DH (Mark) to lend me his arm. So, much of my walking is just done around the house. Especially at night when the TV is on. For example, I have a firm rule that I must get to my feet and walk about during the ads. And if I have a wobble, there's always a piece of furniture (or Mark) to grab on to.
I'm good with the supermarket trolley, so at the supermarket I go up and down every single aisle just to get the steps in. And of course we park as long a way from the door as possible, unless it's a day when my back is being a bother, but that's another story...

I'm here - as promised. I hope I can keep up.

I carried my phone on me all day and put in a good showing for the first day. I hope to have a fitness tracker in a few days.

I checked my walking stats on my phone and I've managed to average 101 miles per month for the last 4 months. My step counter does not do a translation to miles (and the data is incomplete anyway). It will be interesting to see what the fitness tracker comes up with for total miles in the day.

Roz - I'm impressed. I take longish walks (long for me) and that makes it easy to get the steps in. I'm not sure I could do it if I had to rely on walking around my apartment, hoping not to topple over. Also I have lent my daughter-in-law my car (she and my son are no longer married but I remain close to her). Hers needs replacing and she can't quite afford it at the moment and I live close enough to downtown to be able to walk to every place I go on a regular basis. I know I can count on her when I need to go somewhere not in walking distance. I don't really think of this as a competition but as a kind of motivation to keep moving, however that works for each of us.

Glad to have you join us Ken.
