pedometer fun
I got a pedometer through the post this morning, so figured I'd try it out to see how far I walk each day. So I put it on just before I left my flat and just took it off now that I'm home. It's got a ball bearing mechanism that works as the counter, so as I walk fast I'm not convinced of its accuracey as it bounces around a lot.

So today's travels...6.7 miles. (google maps calculates it as around 3.4 miles and I'm more inclined to believe that as I didn't do a great deal of running about at work for a change, so we'll see.

Going to wear it until the end of the week and post my results here so I can gauge the average I do and then work out how much it really is.

I reckon
You're taking twice as many steps, that's why the figure is almost double the actual distance.

I think I'm taking too many steps too
but forgot to put it on this morning as I was in a hurry to get to work. Shame as I didn't get to sit down for more than 10 minutes today, so would have been interesting to see what it recorded/if it melted a bit.

5.8 miles today
so probably closer to 3 miles really. Not bad considering I only saw the fluffies once as I had to go out this evening.
