WELCOME TO ELKHART

Yesterday I planted myself in Elkhart, Indiana which was centrally located between my two business appointments, one in Middlebury and the other in South Bend. The temperature during the day was close to 90 degrees and by the time that I set off on my urban hike at 6:05PM it had cooled to 86 degrees. As much as I enjoy my indoor sessions on the elliptical and treadmill as it gives me the opportunity to while the time away watching netflix, it is much more rewarding to be outdoors.  The MapMyWalk application on the phone is great as it calculates the distance, the route and the calorie burn.  Its best feature is that one cannot get lost as long as the phone is in contact with a cellular network. This is very handy feature when one is walking in strange neighborhoods.

You might wonder: How do I find time in the day to walk two hours?  I have basically removed TV from my life. I can remember a couple of years ago, I would settle into my hotel room and watch 4 or 5 hours of TV each night.  Watching that much TV is a kind of existence which I knew too well. It is a complete waste of time. Now if one is on a treadmill or elliptical machine and watching TV or netflix instead of lying on the couch eating potato chips while video watching - That is a different story.  It may still be somewhat of a waste of time, but it is not a COMPLETE waste of time.

After logging over 50,000 steps on Sunday, 20,000 steps may seem like a mere pittance.  It is not.
