Today's lunchtime walk was a weird one. I had to go to the mall as BOTH my apple peeler and my food processor have bitten the dust, and I need them to process the 9 huge basil plants in the back yard and the bushel and a half of apples in the kitchen. These things CANNOT wait, and guess what I will be doing tonight? So--I walked at the mall. I mapped it, and I walked as fast as i could around people and through shops. It was almost a mile and a half. I still need a real walk later tonight, but that's still way better than nothing.
I went for a walk around and around my block after the kids were abed to finish out the day's steps. I learned that one trip around my block is almost exactly .25 miles, so i can walk laps and keep track pretty easily. I also realized that the main reason I don't like walking at night as much as during the day is that I can't find a pretty thing of which to take a picture. That's become essential to my walking pleasure, and walking at night feels a bit like robbery sometimes. I see so many things that would be lovely in the daylight, and there's nothing I can do about it. Still, I am glad I went--I feel better about being back on the wagon when I walk over 11k steps!
