The last day that I counted steps was September 21. Starting September 22, I went on vacation to Australia for two months, and I did not want to count steps while I was on my cruises. Then I dropped my phone in the South Pacific Ocean at American Samoa, so I did not have a way to measure my steps anyway. I got back to Washington on Thanksgiving Day, but then I did not get a new phone until Tuesday and did not load an app to count steps until late yesterday, so today was my first day back on my walking routine.
In addition to not counting my steps, I really did not walk a lot while I was cruising, so I was a bit concerned that it might be difficult to jump right into taking 10,000 steps right away. However, I walked this morning with Joel, which means going up and down some big hills, and I logged over 15,700 steps today (more than 7 miles), so I am still in good enough shape to pick up where I left off.
Today I am just over 300 miles from where I started in Delaware back on the first of July, so one sixteenth of the way to Drake's Bay, almost. I am also close to the Paw Paw Tunnel along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal in Maryland. The tunnel opened in 1850 and is six tenths of a mile long, cutting six miles off of the previous length of the canal. I have another 13 miles to go to finish this segment and the state of Maryland - three days more. Then it's on to West Virginia.
