Who Needs a Bike?
Since I had a coupon for a free tire rotation I took my car up to the Goodyear store in Herdon, and got the state safety inspection done while I was there. (Needed to replace the eye-level brake light, but parts and labor combined was only $13.)
They said they wouldn't be able to get to it until later; it wouldn't be done until 3:00. This was at 10. I decided that since it was a nice day and I could use some exercise, I'd walk to the IHOP on Route 50 for breakfast.
Also, that was the only place that sells breakfast that I know of.
No big deal, right? At a guess it's 3 miles or so to the IHOP, an hour to eat and dawdle a bit, an hour back and plenty of time to kill waiting for the car.
Exceeeeeept that it's actually a two-hour walk, making it about six miles each way. Two hours down, inhale some food, two hours back, and it's 2:30 by the time I walk back in the door. They tell me about the brake light and I sit down while they do the replacement. (Felt good to get off my feet again.)
So yeah, did a lot of walking today. Assuming I walk at 3 mph, about normal speed for a human, and factoring in that I had to lug 225 lbs. of myself around, the calculator I found online says I burned 1,782 Calories. I also made my feet and ankles really sore. Time for a new pair of sneakers, I think.
