Up the Game

I lose track of time, but I believe I've been doing 12000 steps for almost three weeks.  Since I have started I have made my goal every day except for the day I drove to Wenatchee and back.  And even then I had enough steps that it all averaged out to be right.
When I started 10000 seemed like so many.  But Belinda was right.  A real walk makes a lot of difference.  Having the littles though sometimes preempts a real walk.  So I do laps around the complex.  Rather boring, but it works.
Then it started getting easier.  Parking a  little further away.  I get 1000 steps at work just by where I park.  And so it goes.
This week I have gotten a real walk in every day and I noticed that I am getting quicker and working harder.  It just happened.  All I was doing was trying to get my two miles in.
I think it is time to up the game and make the goal 13000 steps a day.  Adding in another 1000 isn't going to break the time bank yet.  I can see that eventually you run out of time, but I'm not there yet.  And I have a goal. I want to do some more active things this summer with the littles and to do so I have to have part of their stamina.
