10,000 Steps

Well, I'm in my fourth day of tracking how many steps I take per day.  I was a little shocked that on an average day I was only taking about 2900 steps a day.  That'll never do!  We gotta get that count up to 10,000 steps per day...

So yesterday, before taking a walk, I visited the hardware store, a grocery store, and Fred Meyer (dept. store).  As I was looking for a parking spot, it occurred to me that there was LOTS of parking out on the fringes of the parking lot... DOH!  A chance to get a few more steps in!

Parking in the "north forty" at the three stores equated to 3400 steps... MORE THAN MY AVERAGE DAY!  And I avoided the fight for the "best" parking spot to boot!

Let's see... less stress, more exercise, a general good feeling about myself...  works for me! 

I ended up with 6949 steps yesterday...
