Progress After 70 Walks

Cali and I have now completed 70 walks on this project.

Here is how the map looked after 40 walks:



Here is how it looks now after 70 walks:



We have covered a total of 189.25 miles for an average of 2.70 miles per walk. Our average walk has taken just over 46 minutes. I've burned more than 20,000 calories. Our average pace has been 17:10 per mile. Our total elevation change has been about 40,500 feet ascending and the same descending.

We've completed essentially everything in Corvallis that has a NW address. We still have the NE section and SE section to cover as well as some scattered areas in SW Corvallis. I now estimate that we'll finish this project in about 20 more walks.

Walk #70

Matt walked with us late this morning (Sunday). We finished the area near Corvallis Country Club on a beautiful, clear day.

Walk #69

We're in a pattern now of dry but foggy mornings. It was especially foggy for our walk this morning near the Willamette River in downtown Corvallis.

It was another foggy morning for a walk on the main east-west streets in Corvallis. We found a nice welcome!

Walk #66

This morning was foggy and chilly (48F) but dry. We did another longer walk (4.2 miles) and covered some mostly quiet streets in the southernmost part of SW Corvallis.

Walks #64 and #65

Our walk this morning was longer than most have been - about 4.75 miles. It was pouring rain for the first mile or so and rained again during our last half mile. But the rest of the walk was mostly dry. There are still quite a few branches on sidewalks (pinned photo) following the weekend storms. We also found another "hotbed" of shoes on wires (three pinned photos in the same housing area near Reser Stadium).

We're starting to walk the streets of SW Corvallis and will probably alternate between those and downtown and SE Corvallis now.

Walk #64 at EveryTrail


With sunshine this afternoon, Cali and I did another walk. Our total today was eight miles!
