Six months have passed since walking for the sake of walking… walking for the psychological and physical benefits of walking. Our new location doesn’t provide pedestrian friendly routes from the front door. It took half an hour to find my walk’n shoes, walk’n sticks, water bottle, and pack the M, 28 and 75 into something lighter than the bag I usually carry when car traveling. That goes to show how long it’s been and how moving disorients “stuff.” At the Mequon Road house the sticks, bottle and small bag sat near the front door.
I chose to walk East on Pioneer road; in the bike lane; for about half an hour; to a location I’d driven past many times; and wanted to photograph. Then a half hour back. The FitBit pedometer clocked 6,992 steps for the day. Certainly the best day since acquiring the thing a month or so back. Still 3K short of the recommended 10K.
Saw a whole lot of garbage along the roadsides that never gets noticed when driving. We’re a very messy species.
