Good News/Bad News
Yes, I do walk back and forth to work each day for a total of 2 miles. Jaunts to the men’s room and from the test kitchen to my desk add an additional mile for a total daily average of 3 miles. Good, right! Well not really; isn’t the point to increase the amount we normally walk? As soon as this weekend’s snow disappears, I am determined to increase my total by a minimum of 2 miles per day with a brisk walk in the morning, supplementing at lunch or after work as needed. Experience has demonstrated that I am much more likely to keep up a brisker pace in the morning before work when time is short and I am on a schedule. And yes, I too have become very attached to my pedometer! Actually, maybe this is all Good News/Good News?
