12,006 Steps

The number of steps in the process to post a comment on the blog. No, just kidding. This was the number on my pedometer when I took it off last night. That’s approximately 5.7 miles. Insane, huh? I spent the day running all over. I made a trip to the pharmacy, and then spent the afternoon looking at apartments. I popped home for lunch and changed into my tennis shoes. I just couldn’t stand to walk in my boots anymore. Michael got home a little early, so we went out and got UK mobile phones. We can call each other now, yay!

My feet hurt, but that’s probably not a big surprise. I was surprised at how many steps I had actually taken yesterday without even trying. I started wearing a pedometer before we left home and my average was about 4000 steps a day without going to the gym or out for a walk. On those days I could hit 8000 or 9000. So, do 12,000 steps count as my cardio, Jon?

Now a couple more things about posting comments – I’ve been told that it’s still a little confusing. You can post comments on each post I write. At the end of each post you will see (in tiny print) “comments”, which you can click to read any comments or post your own. After you click on comments then you’ll be taken to a new screen. On the left you will see any other comments that have been left on this post and on the right a box for you to type in your own comments. After finishing your comment, enter the letters that you see on the screen into the box. Next, sign your comment by signing into your G-mail account, or just select “Other” and then type your name into the box that appears. If you choose “Other” you can just leave the website field blank. Then just click on the orange “Publish” button and your comments will be posted on the blog. If you don’t see them right away, don’t worry. Just give it a minute, or try to refresh your screen after you get back to view the blog (you can do this by pressing the F5 key). I have found that it isn’t the easiest to navigate back to the normal view of the blog after posting a comment, so I usually end up using the back button until I get back to it, and then I use F5 to refresh.

Also, if you want to read comments others have written you can do this in two ways. You can click on “comments” as mentioned above and you will see any other comments on that post. Or, you can click on any single posting on the left and you will see that post along with the comments all on the same page.

I hope this helps! Thanks for reading!
