does that even count as exercise?

adelaideseanI've been taking a leaf out of Teh Angriest's book and trying to walk and/or run for at least an hour a day. That means I'm getting to know my new neighbourhood pretty well. Going to and from my city PO Box takes about fifty minutes*, for instance, and that's enough to make me feel virtuous.
But here's something much more important to know. Six minutes and thirty-nine seconds is how long it takes to walk from my front door to the Haighs Chocolates Factory. It's like having the Wonka factory right up the road, and just as dangerous.
Yesterday I bought presents, nothing for me, and didn't even take the free sample they always offer. But still I think I broke even, calorie-wise. Oh well.
* That's long enough to hear some albums from start to finish on my fab Bose headphones, which is good for someone who doesn't normally get to spend any time at all listening to "real" music. In theory I could spend this time deep in contemplative thought about the next book, but more often than not I've been catching up on fave old albums and trying not to sing aloud.
