The Proclaimers, where are you?
500 walking miles since January! That’s approximately the distance between Moscow and Calgary.
If I keep this pace, I’ll hit 2,000 miles by the end of the year.
Have some chill music to celebrate.
500 Miles!
Hey foolios!
After my walk today, I’ve officially walked 500 (well, 501) miles around Calgary!
STATS TIME!
- Number of walks: 65
- Average distance per walk: 7.71 miles
- Shortest walk; longest walk: 1.39 miles; 17.03 miles
- Average per week: 50.1 miles
Boxplot time! Here are miles by the days of the week (the red line is the average 7.71 miles).
WOO!
Also, have some perspective:
Here is a map showing the distance between a random location on the east side of Moscow and Walmart, which is on the extreme west side of Moscow. Most would agree that this distance, 3 miles, is pretty much “across town.”
Here’s the same distance in Calgary.
Just to give you an idea of how dramatically different the areas of the two cities are (that’s not even all of Calgary north-south-wise; it wouldn’t all fit at that zoom).
I want spaghetti.
500 miles this year!
Graph (might have to click to enlarge):
Note: some of those actually occurred on the same day, so the daily totals are actually usually higher than 9 miles on the weekends.
I know it’s not a LOT of miles, but it’s pretty good considering that I spend about 14 of my waking hours on campus doing schoolwork.
So my realistic goal for the year is a total of 1,500 miles; my (probably) unattainable goal is 2,000.
We’ll see how it goes down this summer.
And I’ve been putting my walking-related posts under the “health” category, but I think I’ll start putting them under “travel.” Because really.
Oh, also: I’m addicted to Minecraft now. Or at least I’m getting there. I’ll have more time to be addicted once the semester’s over (NOTHING COMES BETWEEN ME AND MY SCHOOLWORK, NOTHING!).
