Autumn in Westchester, County NY
It's been awhile since I've updated on my walking journey. I'm happy to report that I'm right on track for my 1,000 mile goal for 2025. I've walked 790 miles, not including my steps for today. I'm also right on track to complete my goal of ten thousand miles. I've walked 8846 miles and will walk at least 210 miles more this year. That puts me at 10,000 miles total walking in ten years. I hope to get to the 10,000 mile mark just about this time next year.
I haven't thought about the ten thousand mile mark in awhile, but I'm amazed and delighted that it's actually in sight. I'm not sure what goal comes after that, but I like having a goal and it's really kept me motivated to keep moving and walking.
I got most of my steps today in Westchester County, just north of New York City. It was the perfect autumn day and I loved everything about it, except that it got dark so early (to me). I made a long planned trip to Kykuit, the historic home of the Rockefeller family. I took a lot of pictures, and hope to do a longer post about it later this month, but here's a sneak peek of the beauty of the estate.

I'm off tomorrow on an adventure. It will be a new state to walk in this year, but not one of the four states that I have yet to visit. It's one of the prettiest cities in America and I'm happy to revisit and spend time with college friends. I'm hoping for better weather than predicted -- lots of rain predicted -- and (reasonably) on time flights. I'll be drinking coffee, taking lots of photographs and if the weather cooperates, walking on the beach. There will definitely be a post when I'm back at home. What are your weekend plans?
As ever, thanks for visiting and happy autumn days!

Congratulations, Carol, on nearly achieving your walking goal and a milestone soon. My steps have been greatly reduced since my knee discomfort and I do half of my former daily goal. Your recent outing looks to have been a perfect weather day and looking forward to photos of your current adventure.
Congrats! Your goal of walking ten thousand miles is really in sight now! You are truly amazing! I hope the weather clears up for you tomorrow!
Carol that is the most wonderful thing! Keep it up. I'm so happy and proud of you.
I'm blown away by your walking goal, Carol, and thrilled to know that you're almost there. Wow! Looking forward to hearing about your next adventure. Keep sharing great photos, too. Blessings!
Congratulations on getting all those miles walking. Your goal is in sight.
Every morning I walk 5 miles or so.
Well done and many congratulations.
All the best Jan
