The 11-mile round trip left me with dead legs, a sore back and the sneaking suspicion I had made a mistake.
What started as a necessity — I had no car, so I must bike — became a strategy: Errands are an opportunity for exercise.
I began seeking out new errands just for the exercise they would provide.
Running low on Sichuan peppercorns spurred me to cycle the nine-mile round trip to the Chinese supermarket.
Earlier this year, I learned that the public library stocked a book about an ancient tomb I was researching, and my first thought was: Excellent, that’s a 4,000-step round trip!
