    Hey, Dale! I have the same app on my iPhone. It's pretty useful.

    Glad to hear you're out and about. I guess the message is just keep moving!

    I was supposed to run another half marathon in April, but I'm not sure that's going to happen... medical issues (nothing major) have kept me from training. They have a 5k option so I'm going to try to at least do that. So glad to hear others are doing well and getting some exercise.
    Nothing can break you; you are much stronger than you think... look at what you've already survived.

    On my iPhone 6, there's a Health app that came already installed. You can enter your meds, emergency contacts, activities, and vitals among other things. It seems to have a built-in pedometer to track walking/running distances, number of steps taken, and number of flights of stairs climbed. I can also manually enter my swimming distances.

    Oh..that doesn't come on my old flip phone !!! I have a trac phone but I only use it when I am bored at the drs office to go on facebook. I did have those fitbit bracelets but that was too much of a pain having to input everything you eat and drink so I sent it back. I use my pedometer when I am walking that tells me the distance,time,csalories burnt and steps so that's good enough. I just need to get my rear in gear !!!

    I got a Garmin Vivoactive HR for Valentines day, and I have been tracking my steps and activity. Every day is a struggle right now for me, as my knee is in need of some work. I'm scheduled for a shot of Synvisc (or hyalgan) the middle of next month. I hope that gives me some relief so I can start being more active.

    Regardless of my knee issues, at least every other day, I reach my goal of 4800 steps. Shoot, today it went up to 4900!! Darned watch! LOL!

    So have you had one of these injections Pete? I have read about them, but never known anyone that has had one.

    Hey, Mike! No, I've never had any injections for joint pain. My mother-in-law (age 88) has been getting cortisone shots in her knee every six months for the past few years for arthritis. She also had a dose of Slick 50 a year or so ago. She goes to the rec center and walks 30-45 minutes. She lives independently and looks and acts at least 20 years younger than her age.

    Thanks, but um, you're making me feel really OLD right about now...
