Patty, you may be right, no need for coffee here. You are right, a long walk on a spring day is wonderful. Actually I prefer a ride in the Jeep with the top down, but let’s not let it get out that I prefer that to walking.

I was surprised to see how many steps I took that day working in the yard. Makes sense though, I mowed, fertilized, and sprayed for bugs, so that was walking every inch of my yard three times. Plus a walk around Home Depot browsing and picking up some mulch.

The time 10,000 steps at Magic Kingdom was actually just half a day. I’m sure a full day would surely be at least 20,000 steps.

Thanks for the book recommendation, I added it to my Amazon wish list.

Haha, nice. My Dad’s first comment here and he needs a nap. It’s probably not the material here, it’s just that it’s past your bedtime.

Nah, you don’t need coffee Eric. It’s clear from this post that you already have enough energy! I don’t know a thing about pedometers, so who knew I could come here today to learn more than I ever dreamed of? One thing I do know is that setting off on a long walk on a fine spring day (with or without pedometer) is one of the great joys of life. Oh, and one thing puzzles me: how is it possible to take more steps doing yard work than going to the Magic Kingdom????

p.s. Have you read Bill Bryson’s book, “A Walk in the Woods?” If not, I think you would love it.

Reading all of these numbers and about all of this walking kind of made me tired so I think I will just take a nap.

Krissa, I set it in front of the coffee maker last night, and it didn’t do a darn thing. Oh well.

Coffee seems to me to be an acquired taste, kind of like beer, but with a jittery buzz instead of a mellow buzz. The mellow buzz was worth the time to acquire the taste, I’m not sure the jitters is worth it.

OH.MI.GAWD. You need to start drinking coffee and get the most bang for your buck with that thing! I am pretty sure it could do it! And then, see, you’d be hyped up on coffee and walking and moving more and it would be just one big vicious circle. (Vicious?… Naww, prolly not.)
