Walked the Sammamish River Trail from Bothell to Marymoor Park, about 10 miles, 3½ hours. With getting to and from the trail, and a short walk after dinner, I totaled something like 16 miles for the day.

Found myself idle with a couple hours to kill, so I took the train down to Capitol Hill and strolled around, taking a few pictures and peeking through the record bins.

Sold much of my surviving long walk gear to the spectacularly-concepted Turntables & Trails, a shop buying and selling used records and audio and hiking and camping gear.

Small-brained Ben: Get twenty more steps so today’s count is an even 65,000!

Large-brained Ben: Leave 65k as a goal for future Ben.

(Also I am incapable of moving faster than a shuffle or shamble, and the phone pedometer doesn’t count that.)

Had coffee and a good chat with Greg yesterday, then walked up to Empire for decaf and a waffle and a browse through the record bins.

Walked eight miles today, from Capitol Hill to South Lake Union (and the Center for Wooden Boats), along Eastlake and to the U District.
