Day 5
Nov. 18, 2013-- 2,500 steps
Didn't have much time so focused on going up a few hills and took about 30 minutes to go 1 1/4 miles; same distance as yesterday. Hope that my enthusiasm is not falling off after a mere five days. The key is getting out there and doing what you have time for. Thirty minutes was all I had.
A brief mention of my footwear. I wore these super lightweight shoes from Skecher's called Go Bionic. The reviews mention the shoe only weighs 6 oz. and I believe it. These things are light and very flexible. Makes your feet almost feel barefoot as you walk and kinda makes you feel "grounded"-- in a good way. Will likely alternate these very light shoes with Nike and other more traditional tennis shoes. Here is a full review from Runblogger:

Spoke to my brother today about the importance of movement. He's a full-time worker and I sent him a few articles on the important of getting up from the desk and out of the office. Fortunately he's self-employed and can make those decisions without consulting a boss or supervisor. How will you break up your day so that you can get on your feet and start chalking up those 10,000 steps per day?
And here's one more link-- maybe the key recommendation to anybody considering Manpo-kei, 10,000 steps-- a link to ordering a pedometer. I have the Sportline Walking Advantage 363, Count Up/Down Pedometer. Here's a link to Amazon.com:

For somewhere between $7- $20 this device can help you get a new lease on life!
