I have been walking home for work for the better part of two years now. It's 3.5 miles and I do it rain or shine, warm or cold. (I actually prefer the cold Minnesota winter walks!) I took a lot of this summer off from The Walk as I was having some foot pain issues, and to be honest, got a bit lazy. Riding the motor scooter is just so much fun.
But I'm back in full swing and was looking for ways to motivate myself. One of the interesting ideas I found was the idea of a virtual walk. The idea is that you track your progress on a map using your daily walking miles. That's what this is.
I will be walking from downtown Minneapolis to my home in the Kingfield neighborhood on most weekdays. It's a 3.5 mile walk. Each day (or whenever I update it) I'll mark on the map how far that would have gotten me on my virtual walk.
Depending on my creative motivation I may even come up with a fictional travelogue to make things interesting.
