miles walked in my shoes
well at least tonight while i was at work 80) - i'll explain-
One night while working and running my medium sized tuckus off up and down the halls, i got curious and wondered just how many feet/miles we nurses averaged in a night. Well six months later i finally bought a pedometer during one of my late night shopping trips to wal-mart. (side note- wal-mart and smiths marketplace are the only two things open 24hrs in ogden, so needless to say i spend a lot of time shopping at 0200) anywaysssss. So tonight was the first night i wore my pedometer to work and it was not a very busy night for me. My totals were
Steps 8524
miles 4.25
granted this is over a 12 hr period, however studies show most adults need 10,000 steps for optimal weight and are only walking an average of 5-6000.
so every one STEP IT UP!!!! 80)
