Good Walk!

Apr 13, 2008 15:47

The goal was walking 12 miles today.

But just a little over an additional mile would be a half marathon.

So darthcynthia and two friends from work walked 13.5 miles today ( Read more... )

walking, exercise, weight loss

How long is a 13.5 mile walk?

Re: So, out of curiosity... cgronlund April 14 2008, 00:17:31 UTC

It translates to 17.3 germunds.

Why we use miles instead of germunds--like the rest of the world--is beyond me.

But we do, so it was thirteen and a half miles, not seventeen point three germunds...

long as in, how many hours & minutes for a walk that long...

Re: Stupid Englidh grammer... cgronlund April 14 2008, 09:37:18 UTC

It was just over four hours, but we stopped and stretched a few times, stopped to use the bathroom, and stopped for a banana/water/trail mix break.

The two people Cynthia and I walk with are 45, and they like stopping to stretch along the way. And that's good 'cause I'm usually a goof and just trod along, and as the miles add up, I think, "Man, my leg/back/whatever seems a bit tight...wish there were something I could do about that!"

The walking thing is cool. Diiiiiiiiiiig the walking thing!

From walking regularly, I think I'm healthier than when I was in my 20s and biking regularly.

Good luck!
