How many roads must a man walk down before they call him a man?

This weekend I walked 28 miles, which includes 16 miles today. 70 miles for the past seven days.

I haven’t done a true 20 miler since last summer so I should do one next. Need to just devote a day and plan a route. Maybe walk to Thacher Park and back from Delmar. Or maybe somewhere else.

Then I want to walk in late April from Kiwanis Park in Rotterdam to the Schoharie Crossing which is a 30 miles round trip. While not strenuous terrain it will be a 12 hour walk from 6 am to 6 pm which will include ample time for lunch and breaks. It will build practice for all day walking.

Come April I’m planning to practice walking around the neighborhood with a 30 lb on my back in preparation for the 50 miler.

Already I’ve cut nearly all processed foods and sugar out of my diet and working eat a diet with lots of low glycenmic index foods to maintain stable blood sugar levels. Planning to get a physical later in April before the 30 mile walk.
