Step 5,915,908

Well, I crossed over the four million step mark for the calendar year. I doubt I'll be able to get nearly one million more steps in the next twenty-six days so that I can make my goal of five million steps in 2009. I will reset that challenge for myself for next year as well as my goal of losing 100 pounds in a calendar year.

I had been looking at getting a treadmill to help with walking in the Winter. It is really cold this time of year. The elements keep me from enjoying my walks. I was thinking a treadmill would do the trick. I had found one on Craig's List that I thought would work. It turns out that it was too big for my office, and I was over the weight limit for it. I could have put it in the garage, but I felt like that wouldn't be much better than walking outside. Who wants to stare at shelf full of tools for an hour in the cold? I am going to pass for now and reconsider it in the near future.

For now I will continue to put one foot in front of the other and gear up for the last half of this 12,000,000 step journey.
