I've been very good about wearing my Fitbit - at least for most of 2016. I use it to remind me to walk 10,000+ steps every day. Between taking Fenway out, walking through the condo looking for my glasses or trying to find my phone, running errands or just going for a walk it hasn't been difficult to meet this goal. And I feel good after walking four to six miles during the day.....so I intend to keep doing it for 2017.
But today it's just too damn cold. The wind chill has Port Washington well below zero. In spite of the sunshine and nice blue skies, Fenway and I race out and back in very quickly. About ten steps to the grassy area and ten steps back.
So down to the lower level garage I go. Around and around past the parked cars and the empty spaces. It's really a very boring view and smells sort of dusty..... but it is heated and there is no wind. Around and around I go.......and even though it's boring it gives me time to think about "things". It takes me away from the noise of the radio or television....and surrounds me with silence.
With the exception of the heater fan when it kicks on, or a neighbor coming off the elevator to go to their car or another arriving back home, the garage is quiet.
A day with below zero temperatures and wind.....10,000 steps as a goal....our indoor, heated garage works!
