&nbsp;

I needed to take a test run on Day 234.  There was much hype about getting acquainted with one's pedometer and watching the instructional video.

&nbsp;

I'm not sure why, because all you do is a click a button and fasten it to your waist.

&nbsp;

Oh -- and this is a biggie covered in the instructional video -- you must keep your pedometer out of water.

&nbsp;

???

&nbsp;

Is it just me, or does keeping your pedometer out of water just scream COMMON SENSE?

&nbsp;

But you KNOW the reason they stress the "keep away from water" is because more than a few bozos have called in with, "Hey, I just went swimming with my pedometer, and for the life of me, I can't figure out why it's not working!"

&nbsp;

They don't need a replacement pedometer.  They need a <strong><a href="http://www.darwinawards.com/" target="_blank">Darwin Award</a></strong>.

&nbsp;

Why my test run with the pedometer, you ask?

&nbsp;

That's for me to know, and for you to find out...

Tomorrow.  :-D
