10,000....

steps-a-day.

For good health, balance, lifestyle, etc.

1,000 steps is approximately 1/2 mile.

So, all you math people out there, you've already figured that means ten thousand steps is approx. five miles. (Only five miles?????)

And, walking at a moderate pace, the ten thousand steps burn about 500 calories (500 calories????? Tell me that is a joke!)

The most steps I've ever walked in a day was in Washington, DC with Dave and Deon Ballard. They wouldn't stop; they were determined to see everything there was to see, and RAH and I tagged along. Boy, were my feet tired that night because on that day we walked over seventeen thousand steps. For good health, I should hang out with them more often!

But, MOST days, I don't come near to ten thousand steps.

I'd like to. I'll keep trying.

But, that's a lot of stepping!

If you guessed "things seen while walking," you would be CORRECT, so

toss the hat, the scarf, the gloves, the heavy jacket....it's WALKING OUTSIDE WEATHER!

And, a special thank you to Margaret Emery from Rexburg Idaho, for the Christmas gift of the crocus bulbs...how fun to have some little flowers popping up in our yard already.
