Mother Nature Wants to Keep Me Indoors

Last Christmas, Kristie's father gave us some kiss-ass pedometers as a gift.  We had set ourselves up with some good goals to walk at least 10,000 steps each day, but on average we would probably have walked about 16,000.

We were both using our pedometers religiously for quite a while, until the batteries died in them a couple months ago.  I had originally planned to go to the store right away and purchase watch batteries, as I wanted to keep our running total up-to-date.  Well fast forward a couple months, and I just managed to get to the store to buy batteries yesterday.

I installed the batteries today, and was all set to walk at least 15K steps.  Generally I can knock them out by lunch time.  Today however, the rain started as soon as I went out for my lunch and continued to about the time I got back.  If I would have dressed properly for the rain, this wouldn't have been a problem, but I left my coat at the office as I didn't think it would rain.

I still managed to get 8,000 steps in so far, and we still have to do our after-work walk with the pups, so I shouldn't have any issues making 10,000, but I don't know if I'll make 15,000 plus.

Speaking of walking, I came across this blog from a guy who decided to walk across America.  He posts a single pic each day of where he is, who he's met, etc.  Check it out at I'm Just Walkin Blog.
