Fitness and other things
10,000,000 Steps and Counting
My friend and fitness guru Tracy Whittaker and I have been walking all over the place and walk together at lunch when we are at work. We started to track our walking on www.walkertracker.com over two years ago. Amazing that we are about the same amount of steps, but she is ahead of me.
I just walked over 10 million steps in 786 days, or an average of 12,724 (Tracy’s is 12,887) per day. It is really a lot of steps. For easy calculations, 2,000 steps is about a mile, so we have walked around 5,000 miles. That is walking coast to coast and back.

Amazing story, Doug. And an interesting metaphor, if you think about it. How many steps did we have to take to be where we are now? What steps lead us to the career, family life, the place we live in, etc that we are at now? I wouldn’t even consider counting the steps I walk on a daily basis, but you did. Keep on truckin’.
