10 000 Steps (or 500 Miles?)
One needs to do something a little crazy sometimes, and I did such that. I ran out of train tickets yesterday, so after work I went over to the ticket center to get another book of 10. Oooh, that's crazy!? No no... there's more.It was 5pm at that point, and I had an hour or so before I had to go out again. I walked outside and felt the breeze hitting me. So I thought, what if I walked home? I started counting the number of blocks in my head, and it was about 66-70 blocks from where I was. Oh well, why not?Now one must understand that I am quite lazy when it comes to stuff like that. Heck, sometimes I would even drive just because I was too lazy to walk to the train station (which is not that far away). Well, the walk was awesome. It didn't just give me the 10 000+ steps per day, as suggested by Dr. Lau, but it offered me a chance to think about things. Where I was, where I am, where I may be in all aspects of my life.I made it home in an hour and 25 minutes. Except the sweat from the 17+ degree weather and tingly feelings in my legs, I felt good.I think I am going to do that more often. Sure I am always busy with work and stuff, but pushing that back a little for the sake of the walk was well worth it.Give it a try sometime.
