        Climbed a real hill first thing this morning before work - started 250ft climbed to 1,800ft - total steps up and down on pedometer 6,342 - I'll say 3,000 were the uphill (SO good to be hill walking again - even if it was my first for a looong time and I felt it - I'll be BACK SOON!!)

        Snowdon (7120 steps) completed for me now with 530 steps to spare which I will put towards:

        Slieve Donard, Northern Ireland .....so 530/5390 steps

        happy Karen

                I got really busy today. I had a feeling it would happen. I stalled out at 300 steps today.

                    I was at a friend's house yesterday, they live in an apartment on the 16th floor. I decided out of the blue, to take the stairs both times I went up. My wife kinda made fun, but who cares, I'm almost at my first goal!
                    182 steps to the top floor.

                    364 that day. call it 365
