I started the walking thing in 2006 on Wednesday 26 July, and finished it on Tuesday 19 December. Winding up the work year, Jeff being sick, and then me being sick meant the walking just stopped there for 2006.
On average, I walked about a mile a day, as many days later in the year I walked more than a mile, and some days earlier on, and on late late nights, I walked less.
6 days in July, 31 days in August, 30 days in September, 31 days in October, 30 days in November, and 19 days in November. That’s 147 days, 21 weeks, 5.25 months.
That’s also 147 miles. That’s me walking from my house, to Philadelphia, and back, and then back to Philadelphia again. That’s 5.6 marathons.
At approximately 128 calories per mile, that’s 18,816 calories. Which I quite probably ate, but it means they were burned off, not busily melding themselves to my gut. 3500 calories = 1 pound, so that’s 5.37 additional pounds not making my pants not do up.
That’s my big new exercise achievement for 2006. And now for 2007.
