I was at Sugar Creek last Tuesday,
On the days that I log in 6 miles I have gone 4.6 miles out in the country and it takes me an hour and a half divided into 15 minutes equals 6 or for this challenge six miles. On the days I log 3, I go 2.6 miles in 45 minutes or for this challenge 3 miles

Wednesday 5-20 I logged in for 6 miles,
Thursday5-21 I did 3,
six on Saturday5-23,
Monday yesterday 5-25 I did 3
and
today5-26 I did 6
bringing me to a total of 35 miles and I am at Richardson's point.

475 min adding 32 more miles makeing me 896 almost to Upper Platte (Mormon) Ferry (914)

i wonder how they did as many miles a day as they did I do a 7 mile hike and it about kills me the next day.

I am not loging my strength training so i would have a few more miles a week. but..... I have so much respect for what they went through

I changed my mind. I just got back from my daily walk.
On the days that I don't have to go to work, I am now walking 4.6 miles, it take me an hour and a half. But once you are on the road the time goes by very quickly.

I figure an hour and a half at 15 minutes per mile would be six miles. As you can see I walk slower than that.

But using the rules of this thread,
I am at six miles not quite to Sugar Creek yet.

848 plus 248 min or 16 miles =864 last week ok for min but not to consistent i only walked 3 days and i can feel it today.
writingmomma i looked at the other thread but have not had the time to read enough to be caught up. It looks interesting I plan to go back. I am a descendant of many pioneer ancestors. Brigham Young's brother Lorenzo, Lydia Knight(Newel's daughter) Mendenhall on one side the other side my great-grandmother came over by boat and then by train. I married into the Grover line and others that crossed the plains with earlier settlers. My children have a rich heritage. I feel their pull as i try to walk and be healthier. the powerful links of generations blesses me much.

I love this idea, and I am walking every day, but I am not going to start recording, on this site until Ane Anderson (on the other thread) has started on the trail so that I can get better feel for her.

This sounds like fun - but i'm not too sure what i've covered. This week was 13 miles of running and 42 miles on a bike and then I swam about 30 minutes.
Hope your daughter's leg heals well and quickly.

Hi ANNAGM1,
You track your miles and post them. The very first post has all of the different spots along the Mormon Pioneer Trail. You track you miles you walk or run. Also, 15 minutes of exercise equals 1 mile and 2,000 steps equals 1 mile as well. I hope this helps.

Hi,

I just joined SP and love the fact that there is stuff related to the church on this site! I just left Nauvoo today. I walked 3.35 miles today. But that is during about 2.5 hours. So, I will do minutes rather than true mileage. That would equal 10 miles in one day. Which would mean that I am just past Sugar Creek! WOOHOO!
