Now I know why I walk so early at the mall...

Because it's hard to walk when there are a million people just standing around. Getting to the mall to walk before it opens is a great thing. No distracting shops (the windows can be a bit diverting, though) and all the other people that are there are also there to walk. Everybody goes the same direction (wonder who decided it should be counterclockwise? I wonder if it's just instinctive to go to the right?) and it works really well.

Today, though, there was a big event at the mall that started before it opened for business. A local radio talk show host has a "radiothon" that benefits the Salvation Army. It's a terrific cause and I support the Salvation Army, so I'm not really complaining. It's once a year, and it's not like the walkers have exclusive rights to the mall before ten a.m.

The thing is, as the step counts continue to increase, it gets closer and closer to time for the mall stores to open. I've begun to notice more and more people on their way to work as opposed to doing the mall-walking thing. Ah well, soon it will be nice enough to start walking outside.

Step count matched. <3
