I've just come back from a long walk around Tooting Bec Common, my local stomping ground.
Dressed in my power walking gear - sensible zip pocket trakkie bottoms from Debenhams, my top from the day before, and my freebie MBTs (which replaced the previous pair I completely trashed by walking in them) - I ran away from my house for over an hour, and came back carrying a couple of red onions as I stopped at the greengrocers on the way home.
The peodmeter says 8231. Add on my trip to the supermarket this morning, this means I have done my 10,000 steps.
If I'm not careful, I'll get my pedometer addiciton again. Last year I would keep a note of my daily steps, and would spend evenings stomping around the house so that I would make the 10,000 before going to bed. No wonder the MBTs wore out.

Have a look at these shoes for yourself. I think they're fabulous. Ok, they look ridiculous, but I like them.
Anyway, back to the Common. It's such a lovely day today and I just had to get out there. The park was busy with families, dogs, and all sorts. I stomped around, listening to my husband's little radio. It's really a great way to spend the afternoon, listening to the radio, watching all the people, and hugging my favourite oak tree - obviously whilst no-one was looking!
Now I'll get the house to myself as they all go off to see Granny. Bliss. Pity I'll spend the time doing my admin work, and get the dinner ready. Perhaps I'll just do some yoga instead........

According to my pedometer, when I walked from the car repair garage into work it was 5 miles. According to my car, doing the same route, it was 2 miles. That broke my pedometer addiction.
Perhaps you didn't have the step lenths set right and you were actually walking backwards.
I just count steps myself.
I'm up to 10765 now. I could pace around a bit more during Nigella, but no, I don't think I'll bother. She certainly doesn't look like she does.
