I agree about how total steps kind of feels like cheating. That’s why sometimes I use the separate workout app to see how I’m doing with pace and the duration of just my intentional exercise. I don’t do it all the time, because much of what I do is just the same route. I know that my beach walk is between 6 and 7 miles depending on the tides, and my lagoon trails are 2 to 3 miles depending on which sections I’m using.
So yesterday near the end of my beach walk I managed to jam a toe pretty hard. I finished the walk and got home thinking it was just a bit sore but after sitting for a while and then trying to walk on it again, I discovered it is none too happy with me. I may well be sidelined for a couple of days.
The weather gods are telling me that it’s OK to take a day off. I seem to be having my first cloudy and actually slightly rainy day since I arrived in May.
Wednesday had 18,795 steps for 7.4 miles
Thursday had 23,288 steps for 9.3 miles
Today will just be a bit of hobbling about and a lot of reading on a cloudy day.
