School has made the world a very busy place.  I do not walk as much as I would like, and I have let this amazing habit go.  However I do not want to discount that I have walked for the past 6 months - so I will average the walking to 16000 steps per month.  Some months may be more some less - but I am averaging at this point.  I am aiming low so I can actually get my rear in gear.

16000 x 6 = 96000 steps
96000 / 10000 = 9.5 roughly - so 9.5 x 5miles = 47.5 miles

Probably way under what I have actually walked - but it's a good starting point.

I was at 28.4 miles from Trinidad and 1109 miles away from New Orleans.  I made it to and past Trinidad - 19.1 miles past in fact.  I am going to say for easy sake that I made it to Raton NM.

My next goal is Capulin NM where I will stop off to see the Capulin Volcano National Monument

I am back on track and back to my goal - I will be going to New Orleans some time around my Birthday I think.  A nice way to celebrate.

I am 1083 miles away from New Orleans.

To start this morning I was 33.4 miles from Trinidad and 1114.24 miles from New Orleans

Goal achieved -  10000 steps today for 5 miles!!  Lots and lots of walking and getting the offices set up at work before classes start.  5 miles worth!!

That puts me at 28.4 miles from Trinidad and 1109 miles away from New Orleans!!

Look at that beautiful zero!!! I am that much closer to making that 109 disappear, and then when that turns over the 1109 will become a 3 digit number - every step brings me closer to my goal!

I am super excited to see that countdown right now!!  Watching the 14 turn to 0 and then the 100 turn to zero and the numbers switch over to 900's - it feels like a real accomplishment!!  I work tomorrow - so the goal is another 10000 steps - I got really close today <3 p="">

Oh dear...  Is it really August already?

On june 22 I was:  4.2 miles to Pueblo and 1171.34 miles to New Orleans

Now - over a month later... *sheepish grin*  I only have bits of data to report

I know the Ren Faire 3 times yielded 18 miles, Elitches another 3 miles for 21.  I know that getting set up for school I did 5000 steps walking between classes and building 3 times to get everything set up - that's another 7.5 miles for 28.5  Lets say with the weekends included I walked 2500 steps on the weekedays and 5000 steps on the weekends so 7500 steps a week - for 5 weeks that's 22500 for 12 miles - that makes 30.5 miles.  This week with my new job I have increased everything by alot.  Monday and tuesday each I walked 10000 steps - for 10 miles - wednesday I walked all over town and went to a concert at redrocks for an additional  8000 steps - so 15 miles including todays steps - so 45.5 miles in the last over a month.  That means I sky rocked past Pueblo and need to plot my course.

I am now 1125.84 miles away from New Orleans!!!  Lets see where I am on the map!

I am 5 miles outside of Farista Colorado - a tiny town with an A&W - I am going to get a root beer float when I get there!!  

I have 45 miles to Trinidad and 1125.84 miles to New Orleans!!
