  1. Love seeing the step count. And Riley! <3

  2. RILEY!! Such a happy dog! I love to see it. My dog is my walking partner every day and I feel like I am wasting walks if she’s not with me.

  3. Fantastic!
    Lolololol NO. I can’t walk anywhere! I’m out in the sticks. But when we lived in Calgary I could walk everywhere, because we had that kind of neighbourhood. Now it’s a kilometre just to get off my rural road!

  4. Wow. You walk everywhere, or so it seems. I can walk to church. I can walk to my folks’ house (which is very handy, but I usually drive. I make more of an effort to walk there in the nicer weather. Their house is on my run so I can stop by if I want to while I’m running, but it’s usually too early). I’d love to be able to walk to more places, but we are in the suburbs and it’s not really feasible. It would probably take me an hour and a half to walk to my doctor’s office. And it would take me longer than that to walk to my haircut. 😉

  5. Your steps are so high. Amazing. I am not able to walk to everything. There are just woods around. Today though I walked to the Good Friday service at church and then took a longer way back home. That was very needed.

    Walking without errands takes up a lot of time.
