Peg Kerr's Journal

I wear a pedometer, too, and I wear it all day, including during my workouts (I do a whole bunch of different kinds: step, hi/lo aerobics, karate, kickboxing, treadmill, elliptical trainer, weights and yoga--although of course I don't achieve much mileage when doing yoga!). I did a ten step measurement, divided it by ten, and thus calculated my stride as approximately 2.7 feet. I have an excel spreadsheet that calculates the distance in miles when I plug in the number of my steps, and I just keep a running total and check it against the Eowyn Challenge milestones.
