When I started walking to loose weight and get in better shape, my goal was to walk 10,000 steps by 9/1/24. I hit 10,000 + steps in June and decided to change goal to 20,000 steps by 9/1. Today I reached 20,000+ steps in a day. It took me all day and I am exhausted. My hips will make me pay for this tomorrow, but it's a goal reached.

This is my second month of walking. My goal had been 70,000 steps. I finished with over 227k steps. Let's see if I can match this in July.

I had set a goal to have at least one day by 9/1/24 where I hit 10,000 steps in a day. This seemed almost impossible considering I was only walking about 1,300 steps a day. I ended up hitting that mark a few times in June.

I decided to try and make Borscht, it’s a bit different than traditional borscht.

One thing that has been embarrassingly displayed these last 10 days is how out of shape I am. With work and winter, my activity level was minimal. I averaged just .22 miles per day. Today, at 11:30 am Krakow time, I have 1.3 miles in.

With that, I want to ask everyone to consider signing up for . This is a great group and your investment is minimal. There is no money required (unless you want to buy a tee shirt). All you need to do is log your steps, simple, create your own team, or join an existing team.

This group promotes better awareness of Axial Spondyloarthritis, a potentially debilitating condition that affects more people than MS and ALS combined. I look forward to seeing many of you participate.

Edit: I finished the day with 6,680 steps, which is sometimes a week of walking for me. I’m super sore, but happy. That’s three days this week with 5,000 or more steps.

I was able to catch a comedy show last night to see one of my favorite comics and his opener was great too. Very impressed that both guys came down after show to chat.

I will be in Poland in April. Any Spondy’s want to meet one afternoon? I’ll be in Krakow.

If you have Axial Spondyloarthritis, you must move. Start off with what you can do. Watch Alex’s videos. He will be on the show soon to talk more in-depth.
