Into Kentucky ...

I am halfway through Kentucky. Last week, I was down in New Orleans for a convention and due to walking at the convention, nicer weather and seeing the city, the miles went back up. Of course, this past week being back in Wooster, the miles went back down. I should be done in 3-4 weeks, we will see. I am not going to push myself to the finish line; it seems like it will be a crawl. Here is the map from the way back:



Here are the totals for the journey the last two weeks:

Week 9 - 82 miles
Week 10 - 64 miles

It Has Been Forever .....

It has been a long time since I have posted and for that I apologize. My current location is Falkville, Alabama. Thus, I have walked approx. 1400 miles. I have about 600 miles left to go. Here is the map of my walk from New Orleans to Falkville:



My trip back is going a lot slower than my trip down there. There are two main reasons: the weather and my schedule. The weather is the one that is really getting me though. Here are my weekly totals for the trip back:

Week 1 – 72 miles
Week 2 – 65 miles
Week 3 – 72 miles
Week 4 – 62 miles
Week 5 – 55 miles
Week 6 – 63 miles

Now, some individuals believe that tose are still good totals and overall, I guess that they are. However, compare the 6 weeks back to the first 6 weeks down there:

Week 1 – 107 miles
Week 2 – 105 miles
Week 3 – 108 miles
Week 4 – 77 miles
Week 5 – 100 miles
Week 6 – 80 miles

I should still be on target for my original finish date which was end of February. Once again, thank-you to all the adults who supported the walk and made this trip possible.

Slowly Getting There

I am plugging along. I am not moving as fast as I was hoping for but I am getting to the goal. I have to admit two things:

- I like to walk more outdoors then indoors
- I like walking in warm weather over cold weather

Anyways, here were the totals for last week that finished last night:

Sunday – 20,711
Monday – 22,916
Tuesday – 24,264
Wednesday – 28,731
Thursday – 18,434
Friday – 17,114
Saturday – 15,644

Total = 147,814 ………. 72 miles

Here is where I "walked" last week:



Here is my walk back "update":

The weather is definitely holding me up. For a few weeks, I have been stating that I need to get up to the Gault to help me out, but I have not been successful in doing so, yet. I need to do it.

I Am In New Orleans !!!

My map link is currently broken. I will get it fixed within the day. I mean, come on, I need to have the map with New Orleans listed :)

Last Week

Last week was definitely my "weakest" week in the walking department. With the weather being colder and my wife having a rough week - including surgery - it is not surprising.

This week is not going to be good as well with the weather and Thanksgiving (out of town). When I get back into town, I need to get out my winter clothes and I need to get a membership at the track (Gault).

Here are the totals from this past week:
Sunday: 16,120
Monday: 18,237
Tuesday: 18,986
Wednesday: 15,089
Thursday: 15,277
Friday: 12,934
Saturday: 7,625

Total: 104,268 steps = 51 miles
