I’ve been intentionally walking 10 miles per day for about 42 days now. By “intentional” I mean not just walking around the grocery store, or picking a parking space very far from the store entrance, but by clicking start on my watch and walking 3-5 miles at a time, a few times per day.
When I worked my first job in the city, and walking a mile from the apartment to the 7 train (and back) every day, I didn’t track that. Heck, the iPhone didn’t even exist yet!
But these days I am getting up early or getting up away from my computer and going for a long walk as often as I can.
I try to get in three miles before 8am. Five miles by noon. That makes it easier to get in a smaller walk in the early afternoon, and wrap up the days walking by evening. Somedays I have to get in 4.5 miles after 5pm, which I don’t much care for. Other times, though, I get out for two extra miles after 6pm, hitting 11 or 12 miles for the day.
Today is the 19th, and I’ve walked 209.8 miles, an average of 11.05 miles per day.
