Walking in snow
We had 8 inches of snow on Wednesday, it cancelled my planned trip to New York. By Saturday I needed 30,000 steps in two days to get to 70,000 for the week. This afternoon from 4:30 to 7 pm I hoofed the snow covered trails getting in 11,000 steps, about 1/3 had no previous walkers so I broke trail by plowing my left foot thru the snow rather than being able to lift it properly. Luckily my Sorels were high and tight enough not to get snow in the boots. I skipped one untrodden section because I was getting too tired. Between 10:30 and midnight I walked the surrounding roads and sidewalks getting in another 8,000. On Sunday will just need 11,300 steps. Accomplishing this will mean I got in 70,000 steps a week for the last year except for one week in summer. It hasn't resulted in more weight loss but does allow me lots of social dinners and drinking.
