Almost 10 Miles!

Today I walked a lot. Nearly ten Miles.  A total of 9.9 miles if you're to believe what Striiv reports.

This morning I walked with Al, Emilio and Larry for 3.6 miles and after lunch Carol, my wife, and I drove to Monterey and walked 6.3 miles along the Monterey Bay shore.

Monterey Bay

Monterey is about 40 miles away from where we live but its worth the drive to be able to walk on the trail along the shore from downtown Monterey to Pacific Grove. Beautiful scenery and lots of fresh air.

I thought I was going to end up with a blister on my right foot but fortunately it was just a false alarm. Looks like the new no-blister socks are working as advertised.

Along the way we passed by a small beach that seemed to have been taken over by a bunch of seals having a siesta. The good life...

We also saw this seagull that seemed to be begging us to take its picture. We were happy to oblige.

You have to admit that when you go for a hike along the Monterey Bay shore you get rewarded with more than just a good workout.

This post would not be complete without some stats:

Steps: 21,597
Elapsed Time: 219 Minutes (3 hours and 39 minutes)
Distance: 9.9 Miles (15.9 Km)
Calories Burned: 1610

All of the above numbers come from the Striiv app running on my iPhone.
