Walking Wednesday

Yep I realise it is Friday. But better late than never. Right.

Thur:8947

Fri:6380

Sat:3156

Sun:9682

Mon:11297

Tues:9007

Total: 50 003

or about 40km

Well short of my 70 000 step goal (10 000 steps a day), but 40 virtual km closer to London.

These boots were made for walking

Did you know there are 14481km between Perth and London.

And an average person takes about 1243 steps to walk a km.

And that equates to 17 999 883 steps if I was to walk to London (from Perth).

Cathy and I have undertaken the goal of 'walking' to London, the first stop on our world tour, to add 'in the moment' interest to our goal. I didn't quite realise how many steps that would be....18 million....thats a lot of steps......

Generally, we are encouraged to aim for 10 000 for a healthy active lifestyle. So using this as our daily aim it will take about 1800 days to walk to London. Or nearly 5 years. Hmmm that's a long time.

However, I think this will be fun. We are working on a google map to track our step tally, but I think a ticker will work well on the blog too...stay tuned for that. And so you don't get bored, we'll update our step tally as a meme, These Boots were made for Walking Wednesday.

And once we have achieved our goal, I think we'll need a reward. Not really sure what that can be, but we are open to suggestions.
