I've got to believe that steps obtained by running up mountains count
for more than steps obtained strolling through malls!

Dally

I think you should be able to double those steps from running!

Thank you, Beverly, I do too. :-) So I pick that they count towards
today's miles! I'm all dressed for going to work out but I have zero
interest in going. Nada. I want to go lie down on the couch instead!


Hm, then, yesterday would be maybe 3,000 steps not running, plus
18,000 steps running. Doubling those results to 39,000 "steps".

Mine were up "Mountain Road". I don't think you've got any mountains in
your over-distance run, n'est ce pas?


I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but last year when I was doing a lot
of running and hill stuff I went and looked up the difference in calorie
burn for going uphill and found a good article on the Runner's World site
that explained how you don't get extra credit for going uphill because
normally you also then are going downhill and it evens out in the long run
(no pun intended). I was pretty bummed to read it, but it made sense. So,
unless you're starting at the bottom of the hill and stopping at the top,
you're SOL.

Awww, darn. Well, then my pedometer count for today is approximately
1000 steps. (The couch is sort of far from my computer.)

Dally, who finally took a REAL rest day

Hope the new job comes your way!

Thanks, Beverly!
