Ped NOT X-ing

(This post is brought to you in part by my Twitter Page. *sigh*)

realizing my beloved pedometer fell during my morning commute, i slip into sadness and mourn its loss.. and $ 45 price tag. *sobs* 09:43 AM May 08, 2007 from web

instinctively, my hand reaches for my waist to secure my pedometer only to realize it is truly gone. i sigh and begin my walk home. 07:01 PM May 08, 2007 from web

the walking begins and i am going through pedometer withdrawal. i bite my lip, close my eyes and say, 'today is a new day. i. will. walk. ' 07:41 AM May 09, 2007 from web

It's been five days since my pedometer's disappearance. I'm proud of myself that I didn't kick and scream and Twit like a mad woman at my stupidity for letting it drop. I guess I am more forgiving than I realize. It was, after all, just one of those things - an accident, an unfortunate event, an act of fate, the hand of God. Whatever. My pedometer is gone.

I confess that I am still smarting from its absence. We were makin good time together! More than 170,000 steps logged down so far and stored away at 10000steps.org.au to ensure my completion of one million steps by July 19, 2007.

Not happening.

Yet.

In the meantime, I walk, walk, walk. Still. And though I may have no way of knowing if I'm reaching my daily goal of 10,000 steps, I know that at least 100 steps a day is better than none.
