Base lining my legs

    Work issued me with a pedometer, so I figured that the first step was to determine how far I am walking a day with no lifestyle changes, and then determine what I want to do from there (if anything). The goal is apparently 10,000 steps a day, but having talked to the Google doctor it seems that the goal is more to have an hour of cardio activity each day. Somehow I will have to combine this with riding. Anyways, on to the numbers for the baseline week:

    DayDistanceNotes
    Friday4,693This was a half day -- I picked up the pedometer at lunch
    Saturday3,724Trapped in the house because I was on call
    Sunday4,495Trapped again...
    Monday4,459 
    Tuesday3,952 
    Wednesday6,438 
    Thursday5,101 


    So, not too shabby, and I think these numbers are ok if I am riding those days as well. I wasn't riding though because I don't ride when I am on call. Therefore, I should think about walking more on the days when I don't ride into work.
