Those 10,000 Steps

By
Real Estate Agent
I'm pretty sure I managed the daily recommended 10,000 steps yesterday. Although a bit breezy, the weather was gorgeous in the Greater Sacramento area. So, my daughter (Jill) and her friend (Dora), along with my grandkid (Macie) and I, jumped into the car and headed for the campus at University of California Davis. The arboretum trails are amazing this time of year. After taking in the seasonal horticulture, we trekked over to the horse barns, and then onward to visit the cows.

We weren't done with the walking after leaving the UCD campus though. A short drive to the heart of the downtown Davis provided more steps to our stride. After enjoying lunch at Noodle City, we visited a few shops and stores.

Afterward, before returning to our car, we made certain to visit "Yolo Berry Yogurt" - or the "Let 'em Eat Cake Shop" next door. Two of us went for the yogurt. The other two grabbed cake!

I've been steadily increasing my number of steps daily.  Yesterday was a beautiful day for walking, today with the rain and chill in the air not so much.

Sometimes those 10,000 steps can feel like 500,000—-sometimes it really works’ :

Hello Myrl - I remember the excitement of first discovering pedometers.  Obviously advances in technology have made keeping track of 10000 steps a bit different.  The many pleasures gained from walking from one place to another can be counted in the discovery of new moments (along with some nice memories of previously found ones too).

Hi Myrl:

What a wonderful day that must have been. And plenty of exercise! Love the photos, especially the one of you with the pig statue!

I was shocked a short time ago to read that they were dropping the 10,000 steps because it was making too many people anxious. I look at everything as a positive, even my goals. Happy Tuesday Myrl 🙂

LOL, you remind me of my bride, clarifying "it's the wind in my jacket, not fat" LOL

She'd have said the same thing or made me re-shoot. Great share about UCD, I have not been there since my college days, not as a student, but as a campus crasher to meet a girl I was dating there. My son ended up at Sac State and living in El Dorado Hills, but long before that, I was cruising Rocklin on Friday nights and hanging out at the river in Folsom on weekends. I have a lot of friends up there and back in the day it was only 90 minutes door to door from San Mateo to Sac.

Myrl Jeffcoat - Those photos will be family treasures! What a great way to spend the day and accomplish 10,000 steps without thinking about anything other than the love of family and all the beauty there is to see in this world. You chose the perfect location to take some amazing photos! 

Photos of three beautiful women from different generations and three cow heads mooing is a must!!!

Hi Myrl! I got a kick out of your jacket comment! I thought exactly that after reading that it was breezy! I noticed that because it's been extremely windy here in the last couple of weeks. I'm ready for some calm!!

Sounds like you had a lovely time with your family. I know you thoroughly time with them!

Sounds like a wonderful day of hiking, nature and family. I too like to home the trails of our neighboring campus of UCSD, it's a wonderful way to take in nature and the gain some higher learning through osmosis LOL.

Myrl, those are the days you don't even mind the 10,000 steps, the scenery and company makes all the difference.
