all that exercise pays off

So anyway, it's been a few days since my last report on the state of the world. I can now share that I am lounging on my bed without working up a sweat. Clearly the explanation for this is that I am much more fit than I was two days ago.

It's not as far fetched as it sounds. Yesterday I did a 13 hour shift at the Pharmacy of Steps. This pharmacy has four stairs from the dispensary down to the shop. I wore a pedometer for a couple of hours and had 4600 steps on it by the time it fell off. I don't THINK I walked up and down the stairs 500 times. But there was plenty of pottering around both upstairs and downstairs. And SURELY dropping the pedometer a few times counts as steps because of the effort involved in picking it up.

I can't think how I used to do 3 x 13 hour shifts/week at that pharmacy. Oh yes. Now I remember. I used to have an afternoon rest.
