Yesterday, in my blog I was talking about the lack of wisdom in exercising every day without a break.  In fact, I had recently snapped a streak where I had walked 10 miles minimum for 25 days in a row.  This is precisely what I wrote yesterday:

My mild injury, really only a tightness in my right leg seems to have gotten much better after two days of rest.  As much as I take great pride in exercising almost every day - I also know intellectually that that is not the smartest thing to do. My addictive personality sometimes gets in the way of a more balanced program.  Perhaps, going forward I should start a new streak - this streak should be the number of consecutive weeks where I am sure to rest at least one day.  As of now, I did not exercise at all on Saturday or Sunday.  I am not sure yet, what today, Monday has in store for me...

I have some loyal readers of this blog, my wife, my Mom, my brothers.... But without a doubt, my friend Jack is the most loyal reader.  I seriously do not think he has missed a day.  He is also a fairly common commenter.  His comment yesterday was the most perspicacious comment, ever.

Consecutive weeks with at least one day of rest. Didn't you do 10 years of that!

.
Of course, my friend, Jack is exactly right.  I did have about 10 years of weeks with at least one day of rest.  In fact, I had 10 years of weeks with 7 days of rest!   So, I suppose that I should be shooting for is consecutive weeks with 5 or 6 days of exercise.  That is plenty of exercise.  And it should be appropriate for rest.  That is the goal.  We will see where this leads.  Right now, I am feeling a bit under the weather... so it might be a day or two before I strap on my backpack and take a walk.

5060 setps only!   Worst day ever!   And I had to march in place at 11:30AM for 5 minutes just to get that!   Yesterday was a day that I drove from Chicago to Cincinnati - Can't get steps sitting in a car for 6 hours!
