17 weeks to go.....

The weeks are just peeling away.... WOW!

Our adventure fast approaching and the excitment growing. For fun today I wore a pedometer to measure my steps. I have been walking a fair bit since deciding to head over to the Camino but never really nailed down the numbers.

Well the morning stroll netted me about 5000 steps in ~45 minutes. Then the return home later in the afternoon netted me a similar amount. Now there was also the to and fro during the day. To wrap things up as well - we had our group training walk tonight so ~90 minutes.

Grand total....for today 21,712 steps

I wasn't quite sure what to measure that against originally. However, I know that various workplace challenges call for participants to aim for 10,000 steps in their day. So I feel good about doubling the average. I especially look forward to days dedicated to "Long Slow Distances" that will have me out for 4-5 hours.

GADZOOKS!! I'll be having some real fun then :)

Walk on!
