The numbers please me
Since I got back from Cape Town, I
have not done any of my intensive walking exercises, though I might have hit
the 10,000-step threshold on some days, because it just happened.
I started this walking exercise thing
two years ago on the 30th of July 2020 just as the first lockdown of
the pandemic was easing off. Progress has been slow, but I checked on the
anniversary to see what I might have done.
Doing the tally for the 730 days from
the day I started, I had put in 8,089,788 steps, averaging 11,081 steps a day.
I felt quite pleased with myself that I had achieved that, though I am yet to
complete a straight calendar year that averages at least 10,000 steps daily,
I have the prospect of succeeding this year.
Just keep at it
In terms of gains, the going has been
tough, as I have both reached my lowest weight in 12 years and highest weight ever
in this timeframe, the work of bringing the weight down is progressing, I feel
much fitter and healthier than I ever was. Though traversing the hilliness of
Camps Bay was a testing experience of endurance that went to the core of
everything you threw at each step you took.
Obviously, I hope to get back to the
exercises, I am just hoping I have no new encounters with those out-of-control
dogs. I suppose the very basic conclusion to this activity is, “It’s walking
and it’s working.”
