Pierce: Pedometer reveals lack of exercise

Woo-hoo! Daylight saving time is back.

I love coming home in the evening, and it still be light enough that I can get out and walk after dinner.

I even bought a pedometer on a whim just to see how much effort I was putting into it. It’s nothing fancy — just a cheap but sufficient $7 plastic clicker.

I’ve read that the goal is to walk 10,000 steps a day, so I thought I’d see how I was measuring up.

Not. Even. Close.
