Question about logging exercise

Hi All,
I am very new to MFP, just started with some coworkers to log our foods and encourage each other with the advice of a friend and my doctor to use MFP as a good resource for this.
My question involves exercise and how should I log it?! Any tips and suggestions would be appreciated!!
I volunteer at a charitable bingo game once a week, which I am on my feet 98% of the time (occasionally I get a chance to sit for a 1 or 2 minute break). The night is about 4 hours long, with the first hour being stressful, because I'm bouncing around a small room to keep things running smoothly, but not necessarily walking/running briskly, because the room is small so at the most I can take 10 or so steps any which way.
Throughout the rest of the night there are times when I am walking very fast, sometimes running, around the bingo hall to do callbacks and payouts and I have to be quick then, but I don't know that there's anyway to really log it, but I know am getting some kind of a workout during this night. Aside from the 1st hour in the small room, the other 3 hours I spend probably half of it calling bingo (not much exercise here, but I am standing, lol) and then the other half is interspersed with fairly light walking, if any, and those quick spirts mentioned above.
Thanks in advance!!
