Yesterday, I walked 24 laps around the athletic tracks of Amador Valley High, including 4 walking backwards to build out the front of the thighs. Started out thinking maybe 10 laps, maybe 15 but heck, I have 4 hours to spend waiting for the half man to come out of Chinese class. Better expending calories with my cool iTouch on my ears beating in rhythm than adding to my butt and girth sizes sitting in the car twiddling my thumbs or more likely doing word wrap. And on a cool day perfect for outdoor activities, that would be almost sinful. Especially when I had a reprieve from the Chinese teacher from my class duty - she does not really want parents sitting in her class although she politely said I could if I wanted to but she had nothing for me to do.
It was great! 24 laps equal about 6 miles and if I conservatively multiply by 500 steps a lap, that's more than the 10K a day already. But it took about 2 hours. Hard to spend that kind of time on a normal workday. Lucky to do 30 mins. Think I will go walk at Iron Horse's tracks today and tomorrow. Cause I am on leave with nowhere to go...
