Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Walking Aroung the Basement Loop

With a temperature of 3 degrees it was back to walking in the basement today.
At least I had a nice break walking outside two days in a row.

Took pictures of my walk around the basement.
Not the best pictures but will give you an idea of the loop.

Start out at the bottom of the stairs.


Down the left side.


Along the back wall.


Around the other side which is where Ken works on the trains.
Walk between the black and yellow totes.


Around the other side.




And end up by the stairs again.


One loop completed is 85 steps.
I go around one way for 500 steps and then turn and go the other direction for the next 500 steps.
Usually start out first thing in the morning going 4,000 steps.
Second session 3,000 steps.
Third session another 3,000 for a total of 10,000 basement steps.

I was in the mood for some French toast so I made us that for breakfast.
Did my routine morning chores.

We went out to do a few errands and stopped for lunch and had some chicken strips and fries.

This afternoon I worked on the puzzle ๐Ÿงฉ a bit, read,๐Ÿ“š and knitted.๐Ÿงถ
Now I'm knitting a blue pillow with a popcorn stitch.

That's going to be it for this post.
Thanks for visiting and hope you had a fantastic day.

I continue to be so impressed by your dedication to walking. I imagine if you skip a day or so, you don't feel as well. I love the tour of your basement!

I love seeing your basement loop. I do something similar; walking in one direction and then another, as well as doing it several times in the day.
