Grand Total

It's raining outside and it appears that there is some snow mixed in. This means that Sam and I will not be walking to his work - at least not this morning. We'll see how the afternoon plays out. 

As mentioned many times before, Sam and I go for a walk pretty much every day - not only on the short walks to and from his work, but also on longer afternoon or evening walks (weather permitting - which, currently, it is not). 

Anyway, as also previously mentioned (I think), when we go on our walks, we turn our Google Fit app. I think there may be a lot of things you can do with this app but the only thing we use if for is to measure the distance of our walks. 

For those that keep track of such things (like us), this can also be handy because, not only can we measure the distance of these individual walks, but at the beginning of each following month, Google thoughtfully sends me an email with information from the month just ended - things like places I've visited (usually almost nowhere), places I've driven to (usually almost nowhere) and total hours and distance spent walking (to almost nowhere, usually in what amounts to big circles - but a lot of it).

I've tallied these walking totals for all the months of the past year and I think, considering whom we're talking about (me), I think it's almost impressive (well, at least it shows improvement after a pretty anemic start). 

I should also mention, as I probably have before, that, when it comes to walking, all credit for any "success" (for lack of a better term) goes to Sam. Without his company and his desire to go for a walk everyday, all those hours spent walking would instead be added to the hours I spend on the couch each evening, trying to stay awake.
