I finally got around to measuring my daily walking routes

way upstate in New York, USA
I just drove my car around the areas I walk to get the distance. I have three I do in rotation - Over to Franklin Ct, One out Colonial Rd to Stratton Ln and one over to Yorktown Ln. As I thought - Franklin is the shortest and Yorktown is the longest, but they all are between 0.7 and 1.0 miles (1.1 - 1.6 km). My house is the red dot.

I bet it's a pretty walk. Deb, would you share pics, please? Are the leaves turning?
 

Deb,

Good for you. That walking will carry many benefits.
I have an iPhone that I carry, and it keeps track of my mileage along with the number of flights of stairs that I climb. My mileage has steadily increased, especially during cooler weather. These days, I typically log 3.4 miles every day and somewhere between 5 and 10 flights of stairs.

I haven't seen much in the way of leaves turning. What do you want a picture of? The Yorktown Ln route is just development tract housing and Colonial Road is woods on one side and more houses on the other. You can Google Map the addresses and do a virtual walk. :) Here's an aerial view of the locale:

That's better than I can do for the past several months. I'm super jealous.

I got a message from my pain clinic. Says I can call to schedule the nerve block injection, finally.
That juice should get my mojo back.

I have a walk monitor app on my phone and if it is in my pocket, it tracks how many steps I get in that day. If I try real hard, walking in the mall or Wal Mart, I can get up to 8 to 10,000 steps a day.
 
Bonjour à tous just see this intéressant thread topic.

Walk 5km min up to 8..11 km/ day depending on weather, location.

Paris is rather flat but hiking in the Alps one can ascend in 3 hrs 1800m...2700m.

In USA the areas I choose have some 10..20% grades.

Just few days after surgery, today my first walk, about 6 km. Very tired but totally refreshed.

Bon promenades,

Jon

I have the app on my phone and it really does work well, and I just got the free version.

Wow, assuming you are talking pounds I am impressed.

Last time I tried that I was 15 years old, tore my rotator cuff and have regretted it ever since. I am doing about 100 lbs today, and don't expect to ever go up much.

It was part of getting my torso muscles back into shape after being in a wheelchair for a while and then spinal surgery. My max was 225lbs, but during my normal routine I do no more than 150.
