Actually, according to my garmin gps it was not quite 20km, more like 19.5. They gave us lots of drinks along the way. I have attached a picture from google earth if anyone is interested, I hope it goes through. I can upload my tracks from my garmin forerunner to google earth and see where I walked, it’s kinda fun. The had a raffle and I won some leki Nordic walking sticks worth about $80, so I did well! I already have two pairs so I’m going to give one away. I’m pretty tired now, this is the first time I have walked this far in about 20 years! Kathie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 That is great, Kathie! Congratulations!! You have motivated me to go out and do my walking today even though it is almost 6 pm and still over 95 degrees here. I know Laurie is looking for hiking gear - maybe she could make a deal for your walking sticks? Alice > > Hi Guys, > > > I just got back from my 20km walk.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Nice walking. A quick conversion for those that don't realize just how far that is 19.5 kilometers = 12.12 miles 20 kilometers = 12.43 miles Gerard > > > Date: 2006/06/18 Sun PM 02:13:41 EDT > To: <thefatmanwalking_group > > Subject: my 20km walk > > Hi Guys, > > > > I just got back from my 20km walk.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 I can't keep them in my head either & the quickest way to look them up is via the internet at http://www.onlineconversion.com/ which is Online Conversions A very handy website to " Bookmark " or add to " Favorites " Gerard > > > Date: 2006/06/19 Mon AM 09:39:00 EDT > To: <thefatmanwalking_group > > Subject: Re: my 20km walk > > Thanks, Gerard.
