Day 2

Just to warn you, I will not bore you with a day by day account of how I am accomplishing my generous amount of steps.  But just a note about day 1: I worked a double shift, and while I can typically rack up 8,000-10,000 steps in a normal work shift I must have had a rather easy day.  When I arrived home @ 10:30pm I had only managed to accumulate just over 11,000.  Rather than hopping on the treadmill to pound out the last of my steps, I decided to treat my poor dog that had spent the entire day inside to a late night walk.  Besides the fact that it was an absolutely gorgeous night it took me almost the remaining time till midnight to complete the last of my steps.  Whereby I crawled into bed rather tired a few minutes past the witching hour.  Day 1 certainly seems a clue that I will need to pay more attention to my steps throughout the day as I will undoubtedly not survive the next 29 days if I'm finishing up just a few hours before I need to hit the snooze button.
