Walking analysis pt. 2
Continuing to add data to my walking experiment, yesterday's 5K significantly boosted my numbers for the day... in Amish man totals of over 18,000 steps for the day. Actually, I don't have the full day total. Those 18,736 steps were all from before 2pm. Although the distance will be skewed, due to the slow start of the race and my taking small steps stuck in the melee of people. After the initial uphill climb, the crowd thinned and I was able to walk at my normal pace. But still, an hour and fifteen minutes to walk 3.11 miles in hilly terrain doing my best to dodge the slow pokes around me to make up lost time, is a respectable walk.
It was a gorgeous day, you couldn
