Yes, five miles is roughly 10,000 steps. I've been doing that daily for nearly 20 years and has greatly improved my health.

I must do my walking outdoors however and I walk in all sorts of weather except for heavy rain or snow. I loath treadmills and exercise bikes

Like you, walking in heavy rain or snow makes it a lot harder. Congrats on your 20 years! We just have under two years daily walking under our belts. It’s a terrific new habit. We’ve plateaued on weight loss, but I’m sure we are much stronger than we were 2 years ago. We can easily keep up with our 30 something kids easy peasy. They used to think we had one foot in the grave (we didn’t), but now they realize we are doing pretty darn good.

I am similar to you - the outside part and not the 20 years part. Last week I averaged 14,000 steps. A great day for me is 20,000. If I miss a day I regret it.
