I just got back from dropping off my van at the auto electrician and will have to walk back in a few hours to pick it up. It's the last day wearing the fitness tracker for the study I am in, this week is going to have very different results from the last one, for which I barely moved from the couch because I had Covid. I guess that's the whole point of a control group though, to work out what normal variations occur so you can tell if your intervention is actually making a difference or just normal random variation.
It's good timing for the study to be over though, I want to use moving house to start incorporating some more activity in my general routine. It might mean shaking up Mr Woof's walking schedule, but as long as he gets to go out he should be happy. I'm hoping to get somewhere that has a few more longer walking options close to home, but moving away from Melbourne traffic means I will be more likely to drive places to walk too. I just need to get out of the habit of staying home as the standard.
