Fitbit walking

Interesting day walking. It did not feel particularly hot, but it must have been very humid because I was dripping wet every time I finished.

I still managed to be four steps short of 12, 000 steps and it is early in the evening. I also made my goal of reaching five miles or more and today I am at 5.23. The next important milestone for me is active minutes, which are periods of moderate activity that last 10 minutes or more. I have 94 today, which is average for this week. And I have walked 250 steps or more for 8 out of 9 hours.

I find all of that interesting, but the thoughts that flittered through my mind while I did it also intrigue me. A sample might be: it is good to meet other people's mothers at weddings because you are both dressed in your very best! That one makes me chuckle.

Also, I noticed it was a good day for older women packing a few extra pounds to walk at Franklin Park around eleven. We are a friendly, but often very strangely dressed, bunch. Of course most of the students have already left for home.

In the end I was noticing the clouds which are strange squarish shapes and wild wispy angel wing shapes.

This was a pretty typical day of walking for the past week, but I am so exhausted I haven't yet had the energy to go finish making dinner.

Tomorrow we are going to Lincoln's New Salem. There will be lots of walking there, but of a different sort. I'll be interested in seeing how it racks up on my Fitbit.
