Fitbit back on after six months

M J P B McFarland Campbell

It is well over six months since I last had my Fitbit Versa3 on my wrist. In the first week, since I started wearing it again, I found that I was walking quite far each day. I am not particularly challenging myself this time, but simply using it to record what I do.

This afternoon I went out for a short cycle to the south of Portarlington. I have not been on my bicycle since the end of last year.
