Walking to New Orleans (not really)

In the media goodie bag we got at the beginning of the Games was a cheapie pedometer, compliments of that great health-conscious eatery, McDonald's. (Note to readers: I do not condone the eating of that greasy crap. I eat fast food about twice a year -- the last time being in Argentina back in August. Nasty. Gross. I'd rather starve than punish my system with 'food' that has been processed and frozen five months ago in a factory somewhere in Iowa.) I've put the pedometer on every day for the past couple of weeks and my record so far was 28,000 and change (see my future note on the White Night for why it was so high). I've broken 20k one other time and was close to 19k yesterday. For the most part, my steps hover around 12-15k per day. That's a lot of steppin folks! I've decided that when I return to the States a couple months from now I will purchase a decent pedometer and track my daily steps. I haven't had a chance to run except for one day, but if I'm walking that much there should be no need to hit the running trail!
