In October Elisabeth hosted the second Cool Blogger’s Walking Club of the year. April’s walking club did not go well for me—it turns out I had a stress fracture in my foot. I still haven’t finished my neighbourhood A-Z photography project either, but maybe I’ll finish that this month. This time around, I managed the challenge easily. We were travelling for most of October, including the Camino, so I had ample opportunities to walk in lots of interesting places, plus the need to walk to get to my next bed on at least some of the days. I also replaced my previous most steps totals for a day, a week and a month. Here’s a few stats:
Most Steps in a Day: October 16th 43,757. This was included the longest day’s walk, 30 km from Palas de Rei to Arzua.
Most Steps in a Week: 212,534 (30,362/day). This was the week we walked from Sarria to Santiago De Compostella
Total Steps for October: 650,073 (20,970/day)
Hardest Day: The first day of the Camino over the Pyrenees. G’s watch measured 1800m elevation gain and 25 km.
Least Steps in a Day: 3,642. This was a travel day. My walk was confined to walking in Hong Kong airport, including a mad dash to the gate when I realised I had been looking at the wrong boarding pass.
Most unusual walk: Walking the Labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral
Do you track your steps? If you did the challenge, what was the most memorable walk you did?
