Over 17,000 steps before 2 pm! Of course that means there may be scant productive work for the rest of the day.
First up, errands. Grocery shopping, which begats steps, and food. I still accompany Carl due to his weight restrictions. I also added a few things for a new recipe I want to try.
Next up, a walk to a restaurant we had a gift card for and had not tried before. About 3 miles from the house and a bus ride home was anticipated.
After some uphill the walk to the restaurant was mostly flat or downhill.
Lunch at Local Tide was excellent. It’s a small space in Fremont. We had tried to eat there once before on a sunny weekend. It was quite crowded with a line and we ended up at a Thai place across the street. Tuesday noon is less hectic, hooray for retirement.
The weather was cool and sunny, great for walking and we both felt refreshed, so we set off towards home, roughly parallelling bus routes. This was the uphill climb. Fremont is at water level so anywhere not along the water is up. In the end we walked all the way home.

That’s so many steps! I’m trying to get back up to 10,000 a day but I just don’t do quite enough. I’m usually at about 9000. It sounds like a great day!

I would be happy with 9,000 per day. The weather and roads we chose to walk were just right for us.
