pedometer 9253 steps 2.93 miles. Add 925 more steps (when the pedometer wasn’t working. We measured it for about the period of time/distance we’d missed, 5 short blocks or 925 steps). 11:45 – 1.30PM. take away 25 minutes for the sundry bits and pieeces (Holly City Gym to sign up for the Walk American Challenge, lemonade shop, Bank atm). 1 hour 45 minutes total, 1 hour 25 minutes actual walking.

925 steps @20 inches = 18,500 inches. /12= 1541.667 feet. =.291 miles.

.291 miles + 2.93 = 3.22 miles = 5.18 kilometres.

I’d like to walk a 12K walk one day, like the City to Bay. The woman who won it in 2005 walked 12km in 57 minutes. Holy crap that’s fast! Based on my average speed of 2.25 miles and hour, I’d be there in 5 and a half hours.

The slowest walker in that race took 2 hours and 53 minutes. That’s 4.15 miles an hour. I’ve got a little way to go there.

The slowest 6km walker took 2.15 hours. I can do that! We did 5.18km today in 1.25 hours. Another 3/4 of a kilometer is only quarter of a mile. That’s about 5-10 minutes on. I’d be towards the end of the pack, but I’d be there.
