Another whole day spent walking

dmxratedTwo nights ago, I continued playing Pokemon SoulSilver only long enough to capture a Hoothoot. Yesterday morning, I made my way up to Violet City, but unlike in GSC, it turns out that you can't take on the gym until after you clear the Sprout Tower. The fact that you can only find Gastly in the tower at nighttime is the reason I spent most of the day walking.
As it turns out, none of my watts went to waste after all. I put my Pidgey into the PokeWalker so that I could collect 200 watts in one go (not counting the watts I spent finding Pokemon and items) to unlock Beautiful Beach, and then had my Weedle collect 500 watts to unlock Suburban Area. Then, I spent 45 minutes with my Nidoran to just accumulate as many watts as possible before 7 P.M., and unlocked the overdue Dim Cave at a total of just over 1,200 watts stored in the game.
At this point, I think it would be best to start over with the game, now that I've just about gotten the hang of the PokeWalker, especially since I haven't gotten Yellow Forest yet. Good thing I've gotten started early with the game, instead of waiting for the event to begin first. Also, come to think of it, maybe I could use repeat PokeWalker Pokemon to trade for the special Pichu from my copy of Diamond, and later on, for Arceus, Jirachi, and the Manaphy Egg, along with the Shaymin I downloaded to Pearl.

My thighs have been killing me from all the jogging and walking I've been doing yesterday. I find that I can get more laps in in one go by simply walking up and down Masem Court than by jogging. Since Pokemon can only level up once each time inside the PokeWalker, I'll jog if I the Pokemon I have in the Walker can't collect much experience, and walk if it's got a lot of points to go before leveling up.
Mom says that the fact that I've been so tired from exercizing goes to show how really little I've been doing so up until the past several days. She says I need to start walking on a daily basis from now on.
