I've decided to use a step counter to ensure I am walking my new puppy enough. I read online that 2000 steps is approximately 1 mile. I used to measure steps a few years ago, however once sandal season rolled around, my step counter just didn't work with the outfits anymore :D . Granted, in Panama it's always sandal season, but I will maintain the counter solely when I am in my "dog clothes" which, at the moment, include running shoes. Coco (puppy) is not well trained enough yet for me to be able to look good and walk her. One day, but certainly not today.
Walk 1--8AM: 2145 steps
*no counter for pilates class, and a quick run to the store afterwards (sandals :))*
Walk 2--3PM (short walk): 6031 steps
Walk 3-- 8PM: 9164 steps
*I want to post this now, so will stop counting*
It is said you should take 10000 steps in a day, so approximately 5 miles. This is the goal I had while working a desk job and attending school. I never reached it (lots of sitting!), but having a puppy makes the goal just look silly. I won't have a goal for this, this is purely interest.
How many steps do you take a day?
About Me

- I want to try this blogging thing out. Names will be kept anonymous, pictures will not be posted of us, and other precautions will be taken as 1) I've seen blogs get out of hand, and 2) some very intimate and private stuff will be written. This is a form of therapy in many ways... letting me get out my innermost thoughts. I don't care who reads it and who doesn't, it's more for my own release. If you do happen to read, let me know... :)
