A Half Million Steps

My plan this year was to report weekly steps on SteemPeak.com and use my primary account on Hive for more substantative posts. I no longer get any upvotes on SteemIt and have been suffering wicked writer's block on Hive.

So, I will report my previous week's steps on each Monday on Hive.

I've been a good boy and have had more than 10k steps every day this year. These are the steps for last week:

My pedometer counted over a half million steps in the first 45 days. I've averaged over 11k steps a day.

Okay, Okay, Okay. I confess. There is one day where the reported total was 9,970. Two things happened that day. I forgot to bring my pedometer on my morning walk. I put a new battery in the pedometer at the start of the year but forgot to reset the time. The stupid thing resets at 10 PM. It reset before the day was through.

I know that I am just giving lame excuses and will never live down that transgression.

As for the pictures.

Valentines Day was the first big snow of the Season. It's been a horrible snow year. Anyway, this tree was bending under the weight of the snow. See how it is horizontal to the ground.

I believe that the tree is an ornamental cedar. I understand that this variety came from Japan.

In Japan the tree grows straight out of the ground. But since we are at a different longitude, the tree grows horizontal to the ground.

Okay, my description of the tree was as lame as my excuse for the day that I had 9970 steps.

But I am over a half million steps. That has to count for something? I am well over a half million if one counts the times I forgot to put the stupid pedometer in my pocket!
