Yea, Rick laid that on us last evening, that the whole Camino from St. Jean to Santiago is 1,000,000 steps (of course approximately depending on your stride). I had to get with the calculator and figure it out for myself. 500 miles X 2000 steps/ mile = 1 million. Looks like I could have done that without a calculator. According to the timeline that we figured out yesterday I am going to bus 130 miles to tailor my Camino to the time that I have available. So, I will have to deduct 26o,000 steps to give me a total of 740,000 steps. So, if I am walking 27 days that divides out to 27,407 steps per day. Almost 3X the old thousand step “active” day. That going to take a lot of calories and a significant amount of that good Spanish wine!
OK, off to Mass, SJA, Phil.
And don’t forget the gasoline of the Camino: beer! Or in my case, a Clara. I am not much of a beer drinker, but I found the mix of half beer and half lemon soda/tonic/something lemony and delicious that makes a Clara to be juuuuust right! Check it out and let me know. 🙂
