Starting the stepping again

I may have mentioned that I’ve finally got around to replacing my pedometer. At the same time I have now registered on the following website to log my steps. Its pretty basic but I think the guy who created the site has done a pretty good job. I’m intending to update it on a weekly basis.

Tuesday Not recorded

Thursday 9,156
Friday 11,798
Saturday and Sunday 4,464

As you can see Saturday and Sunday steps have been joined together. This is because I flew back from London to Bris-vegas. So in addition to the fact that I was sitting for over 20 hours on my little Singapore Airlines’ planes I also lost a half a day with the time change. This will be the last recorded step taking for a while. I’m not going to record my steps while I’m in Oz as I don’t anticipate a lot of walking to be happening but I’ll start recording again when we hit Tokyo.

Back to work on Tuesday this week. I guess my stats for the week kind of speak for themselves don’t they. As a side note I had accidentally dropped my pedometer when I was at the Statue of Liberty on New Year’s Day breaking it into a couple of pieces. I managed to get it put back together but its possible it is not counting steps as accurately anymore. My test run seemed okay though. Let’s just hope it is underestimating steps rather than overestimating.

Friday 12,634 Last day of work for 2004 so I decided to make the effort and walk to work from home today. Surprisingly it took only 45 minutes. Its probably something I should do more often in the new year – if I’m still working at Hammersmith that is!
Saturday 4,000 Merry Christmas everyone! Spent the day in transit to New York. Surprisingly a lot of people flying today.
Sunday 14,411 New York – real Day 1

Monday 6,899 I clearly hadn’t done enough steps at the end of work today so I decided to walk home from High Street Ken. I swear I walked past Geri Halliwell with a friend walking her dogs. Unfortunately no photographic evidence but I can say that, if it was her, she seems very tiny in reality.
Tuesday 6,410

Saturday 15,940 Market day today. Visited the Borough Markets and Portobello Road Markets with Elvira, her Mum and Andrew. The Borough Markets was heaving and you could see why – fresh food there was of a very good quality. Ended the day with Blade Trinity. If you’ve read my review you’ll know my opinion of that movie!
Sunday 12,109 Braved the Christmas shopping at Harrods and Selfridges. It wasn’t that bad but I guess I was focused so it was definitely an in and out exercise!

After my last three weekends away I needed a recovery week to consolidate before heading off for a week in New York for Christmas. After some hermit-like behaviour by me from Monday to Thursday I was feeling human again by Friday (but not by much) and was ready to face the world.
