Training Walk #2

I couldn't make the 2nd training walk on the same day as everyone else, so I did it a couple of weeks later.

The second walk was published as 10 miles long.  However I lost the official route early on and had to do it from memory.  I missed out an up and down hill loop as I knew that the main group had also missed it out.

In the end my half-remembered walk was 10.2 miles which I did on 3 hours 30 minutes (that's 2.9 mph).

Training Walk #1

My workplace are planning to enter a group into the Thames Path Challenge this coming September.. They're putting on a number of training walks, so I joined them with a vague idea that I might do part of the Challenge.

This first walk published as 6 miles long, but I measured it at 5.6, which we managed in 1 hour 45 minutes (that's 3.2 mph).  With walking there and back, that made  8.5 miles before noon !

December Totals

Monthly Average : 6,970 steps
Best Day : 17,305 - Tuesday 22nd December

By Tuesday 22nd December were had already broken up for Christmas.  We didn't do anything special, but a combination of delivering Christmas cards, popping to the shops, and walking to a friend's house that evening obviously built up the step count !

November Totals

Monthly Average : 6,162 steps
Best Day : 11,375 - Monday 16th November

Monday 16th November was a 'normal' day at school.  I'm not certain, but my best guess is that the count was so high because my colleague was off sick, so I had to do everything myself.
