It takes about a 90 min walk to hit 10K steps, and we only walk 45-60 min on weekdays, so I need to get more steps in around the house/running errands.Jackie Bouchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05854479764528604256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543082260652276010.post-15473690061559637122013-11-25T11:02:48.960-08:002013-11-25T11:02:48.960-08:00We're trying!

It seems to run the battery down more quickly, so once I get a handle on how much I need to move around to hit 10K I might delete it, but for now it's a really good motivator to get those steps in!

Since our dogs are all seniors, there's a little less competition there so we can get up on that leaderboard quite a bit. However, there's still some stiff competition....some very active seniors out there too!

I have a total dislike for numbers (unless they have a $ in front of them).

It's such a great site and I'm planning to write an article, but I just haven't been using it lately.
