Daily Workout

Today I worked out by making beds, doing laundry, vacuuming and running up and down stairs a million times. You may laugh, but it was still exercise.

On Monday, I did 5 miles on the North Lake Whatcom Trail, listening to Science Friday all the way. My foot was sore and swelled a little that evening, but I had no lasting soreness the next day, and, best of all, my leg seems to be doing OK. I wore my newest and most expensive orthotic in my newest and least expensive shoes.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) I plan to walk to Apple Yarn on the RR Trail from Whatcom Falls park. And walk home again, of course. Map My Run says it is about 4.5 miles (round trip). We'll see what my Nike gizmo says. In any case, walking from the park is shorter than walking from home. I want to be home before dark.

For some reason, not all of my walking has registered on the Nike site as counting towards my goal, so it says I am already behind. I have logged over 10 miles, but only the last 6 are on there. Oh, well, I'll just have to walk more to catch up!

By the way. I had to recalibrate the gizmo. Apparently the calibration goes with the gizmo rather than with the IPod...
