American Discovery Trail: Somewhere Near North Judson, Indiana

Indiana
Population 1,857.

I entered Indiana on June 9, and I will be out of the state before August 9, but not much before. I am still more than 40 miles from Illinois, and since 35 miles is a really good week for me, I will not make it by next Sunday. Maybe a couple of days later.

I will hit three million steps this week, which combined with my previous walk from Washington to Miami will make ten million steps since I started keeping track. Since my mileage tracking is different from the last trip, when I counted exactly 2,000 steps per mile, I am not quite to 5,000 total miles walked yet, but that milestone is coming soon as well.

As I wrote in an earlier post, my walking got behind this month, mostly due to one very hot week during which I cut back on my walks, but I made up about 15,000 steps and am now over 10,000 per day for the month. I only took one day off this month - yesterday for a bridge tournament - so my walking distance for July should be over 135 miles, the best since March. August will be different, but we'll deal with that in August.

My left knee seems to be healing itself, at least for the moment. When I was younger, I would have expected that. At this age, I thought it would just get worse. So that's good news.
