Mileage Log - 2009

With yesterdays walk into Newark for a few grocery items, a stop at the hareware store, public library, and Post Office, before walking back; I completed 1, 529 miles of walking or an average of 4.9 miles/day for 2009.
During those walks I:

• completed the entire Finger Lakes Trail system - 840 miles
• eliminated 200 plus miles of gasoline propelled trips into Newark and back
• picked up returnable cans/popbottles that were exchanged for over $50 worth of groceries
• collected over 4 cubic feet of crushed Aluminum cans to be exchanged for cash with recyclers
• located over 40 large basketball sized or larger road side boulders; that I coordinated with trips to town and simultaneously pick up with my truck.
• maintained cardiovascular-pulmonary and psychological health that have been well worth the time
• enjoyed changing seasons over the same walking loops
• wore out the equivalent of one pair of hiking boots

And next year ...?
