So how far did you walk yesterday?

I've been doing some measuring these past few weeks, it's not helped my figure at all, but I'm figuring anyway: On a good day (I'm not exhausted or ill) I walk nearly 10,000 steps. If I put forth a little effort, I make it to 11k. However if you go to an amusement park, you can in just a few hours, top 14k.

Yesterday we spent the day at Wild Adventures in Valdosta. Between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. we clocked over 14k steps which is equivalent to nearly 7 miles. WOW. I never knew. Our kids rode their first roller coaster rides in their lives. L wanted to go again - now that he realized he doesn't get motion sickness. M decided he liked his the best - who can argue? The best is the best! L doesn't do dizzy - at all. I think that one ride cured him of the desire to ride anything fast. We'll see what he does next summer! MM was the designated baby sitter as he gets tired of waiting in line. I can't wait to go next time with my DSIL when it's not so crowded!
