10,000 steps

[norsegirl]

I walked the dogs today after lunch. The weather was GREAT! I left the house with the usual gloves and down jacket. I ended the walk with the gloves in the coat pocket and stripped down to a t-shirt - so nice. Also clipped on a pedometer (the free one from Special K a few years back) and it read 14,500 steps or so at the end. There is NO WAY that is right. We only walked an hour, and I figure I usually walk somewhere between 2.5 and 3.5 miles per hour. If 10,000 steps usually works out to 5 miles that pedometer HAS to be wrong. Like REALLY wrong. Ah well, some walking is better than no walking at least. And the dogs are happy. Well, until I threw them into the tub when we got home that is. Muddy puppies. All clean now.

Maybe it's meant to encourage you to eat more Special K to make up for the extra exercise?

I am thinking of bringing some of our *snow* to you this weekend... T-shirt weather!

Walking is surprisingly good exercise and Springtime and doggies are the best excuse for walking!
