10,000 steps for librarians

[Donna Steel Cook <donnacook@lycos.com>]

Good idea, Mary.  I wear a pedometer every day.  The idea I started with about 18 
months ago was to walk 10,000 or more steps a day.  I had read in USA Today that 
10,000 steps a day would keep me reasonably fit.  I've found that I ALWAYS hit more 
than 8,000 on a work day.  Today I've got 10,113, and that isn't unusual.  I 
understand that 10,000 steps is approximately 6 miles.  I look forward to being 
included in your research.10,00
