I Would Talk Ten-Thousand Miles
Setting:In Greta and Kiki’s respective suburban homes. A phone rings.
Greta: What are you doing?
Kiki: Um, did you see our blog traffic? Your post on how your knuckle looks like Jonathon Winters is really popular.
Greta:Buddy Hackett my knuckle looks like Buddy Hackett.
Kiki: Right.
Greta: I’ve walked 11,000 steps today and I needed to get 1000 more in so I called you.
Kiki: I know but I can’t talk now.
Greta: Why?
Kiki: I can’t find the cordless phone.
Greta: Bye.
Greta and I burn calories and rack up steps on our pedometer while we talk on the phone. We both use our cells or cordless phones and wind up walking all over the house as we hash out our latest diet goals and failures. But as you can see if I can’t find my cordless phone I can’t talk. I cannot be bound.
Anyone else like that? How many miles do you talk a day?
The last time I wore a pedometer I was bar tending. I would walk over three miles in an average 5 hour shift. Then i would go home full of caffeine and adrenaline and pace back and forth in the house for several more hours. I am not nearly as walky these days. I was skinnier in those days.
METHINKS I NEED A COBLOGGER!
before i needed a backiotomy, i was running around 12 miles a week and biking 30. the walking… no idea
I had to read that two or three times, Miz. I kept wondering what the heck a Cob Logger might be.
I walk at least 4 miles per stint. With Gas prices so freakin high we here in Mayberry are walking more. When we walk at night it is not always for excercise but for a purpose, Golden Spoon Yogurt – Then home.
Need the motivation

That is what I call multitasking. I can’t figure out how to operate my pedometers. So I just sit around.
I hate the phone…so not many…well, I do walk six miles a day though.
We have a cord phone, but we don’t use it. We have two cordless phones and we use them – we cannot be bound. We just keep the cord phone for when the power goes out.
Gotta get those ear piece thingies so you can walk down teh street lookin’ a little off talking to yourself!
I always talk on the phone, especially when I am talking to my mother. I am not passive aggressive, I am active walking aggressive. And now that I wear a pedometer, I catch myself walking in place while I am brushing my teeth, flossing, waiting for the microwave, etc.

I really must incorporate exercise more soundly into my day. I’m with Oprah – HATE it, but know it’s necessary (sigh). So why don’t I do it or a regular basis. Seems the only thing I do on a regular basis is drink me some Chardonnay (sigh AGAIN!)
What the coblogger is a backiotomy?
