One of the things I regretted not doing when I moved to Hawaii was buying a pedometer, so this week I went to Target and bought one! It's a cheap one, but it measures steps, distance, and calories (surely not accurately). For as much as I walk and Alex-run,* I want to know how many steps I'm taking. On my short Alex-run this morning, I did just over four thousand steps (minus twelve because the thing got jostled a bit when I tried to clip it to my waistband without breaking it).
I wonder how long it would take to walk a million steps. The pedometer only counts to 99,999, so I'd have to do some resetting to actually keep track which means that I'm probably not going to actually keep track, and probably the battery will die well before then anyway, but I still wonder. Maybe distance is a better thing to track; I'm sure I walked over a hundred miles in Hawaii.
*Alex-run v. To run a little bit, and then walk a little bit, and then run a little bit more, and then walk because the scenery is pretty and who wants to miss it, and then run because I should stop being a baby and it's not that hard, and then walk because it's been a while since I've seen my cardiologist, and so on.
Also, you're not really supposed to use a pedometer for running because it makes the distance inaccurate, but whatever.
