Average so far about 7,400. I think I’m about to do a lot of walking this weekend.

I was going to round down to the nearest hundred, but my new more expensive pedometer seems to be overcalculating the number of steps I take, so I’ll round it down to the nearest thousand.

I didn’t have a pedometer for the first few days of May. I know mine is in my apartment somewhere… but if you know me you’ll know why I’ve gone out and bought a new one!

So I think for May 1 and May 2 I will give myself about 5,000. I was fairly active at a camp, walking back and forth on May 1, and on May 2 I was back into my routine and able to estimate I took at least 5,000 steps. On May 3 I wasn’t that active, but bought my new pedometer.

Yesterday I went to a festival and walked around a lot… but when I went to bed my pedometer said 62! I was too lazy to try and work out the instructions (in Japanese), but this morning my logic kicked in and I realised that seeing as it has a clock and a seven day memory it must reset itself at midnight. So looking at yesterday’s memory, I’m at 7,700.

So average so far is 4,425. Eeek!

and now I have an idea of how fast we run and how far – our distance is about 5,200 km, and we need about 37 – 38 minutes.
