It was brutally cold today. We woke to a light dusting of snow, which was very pretty. But the wind was blowing and the air had a fierce cold bite to it, making it unpleasant to be outside.
I had hoped to go walking with friends, but we postponed until this deep chill passes. Usually the worst of the cold only lasts a few days.
Instead I went walking at the indoor track at my gym for the first time. It is on the eerie and deserted third floor of the building. I had not been up there before. (I only just joined this gym a month or so ago.)
It is not like any indoor track I have ever seen. It looks very much like the industrial carpeted hallway of a B grade hotel, and it vaguely reminded me of the movie, The Shining.
For quite a while I was there all by myself. But eventually another woman on her own and a few couples arrived. I have to admit, I was put at ease by the presence of other human beings.
After walking about 4000 steps, I went downstairs to the weight room and did several sets of pull-downs, abductions and adductions. A good day!
All told I did over 6,000 steps for the day, and I’m seeing them in the app, but it’s telling me I don’t have the minimum steps. Very strange! Here’s a screenshot
Thanks for visiting!
