I am introducing a new label today "Walk." It seems a little bit ridiculous to be classifying today (or yesterday though that ship has sailed) as a day of "Rest" when I spent most of it on West Dean walks, filling the lungs with fresh air and making up for a lack of intensity with hours. That said if I start claiming pub crawls as exercise you may call me on it.
