Week 85: Hall City, Florida

Today is day 598 of my trip, so Tuesday will be 600 days. It looks like I will finish in more or less 625 total days, so 600 days is one of the last milestones.

I have dialed back my expectations for the rest of the trip to 10,000 steps per day - not a goal really, because my goal is for my right hip to get back to normal, but more an estimate. My current regimen is allowing me to walk about 10,000 steps most days, and I think that I can keep that up. If my hip improves, so much the better.

I should note that the hip is not really all that bad now, but it's not completely recovered either, and it won't be tomorrow or the next day. This is a slow process; weeks, not days.

The end of my trek is starting to feel very near. I am west of the middle of Lake Okeechobee now, well into southern Florida. It is only 260,000 steps from here to Miami, and 10,000 or so fewer every day. I only have four more of these posts remaining if all goes well.

Then, I think, it will be time for a vacation, and then the next thing, which I already have in mind. First though, gotta finish this trip, stay on task just a little longer.
