    @ramsden Wow! All of those places sound amazing. I’m from Washington State as well! Such an awesome state for hiking and pretty much every other outdoor adventure.

    @ramsden Wow! That’s amazing. I haven’t gone outside of the US. I’d love to visit new countries and tour by foot. Which was your favorite place? I bet Ethiopia was a super unique experience. Maine wasn’t very walking friendly within the town areas (almost no sidewalks) so I did most of the...

    @ramsden Walking holidays are so fun. I had the opportunity to go to Maine last summer and spent most of it walking and hiking. Where has been your favorite walking holiday? I want to plan some for this upcoming summer!

    @dawn16 I lucked out and didn’t get any blisters. However, when I went to get out of bed this morning, I collapsed. My legs just gave out. I wasn’t expecting that. I rested more and now feel pretty normal. The only soreness is in my feet. My legs and calves feel surprisingly good, despite giving...

    @guardians When I felt myself getting sore, I would break for quite a while. That helped a bit!

    @chrism08 Oooh, I didn’t know that! Very cool. I wish it was still a sport. I’m no good at the others.

    @toop How are the lines in October? I like to travel during “off seasons” in hopes that places will be less busy.

    @toop Damn. I wish my steps would’ve been at Disney. That sounds a lot more fun! Haha. But seriously, 40k is a lot! I couldn’t imagine that in the heat of Disney World.

    @dawn16 Is it scary? I added it to my audiobook list for the next time I walk and now I’m not sure.

    @stardreamer First off, you are a badass. Secondly, 10k a day is awesome. So many people don’t ever hit that. I feel you on the boredom thing. I’ve started only watching Netflix on the treadmill so it’s like a special thing if I have to do my walks or runs indoor.

    @gigigirl16 That sounds like a great plan. Changing up scenery and terrain makes it so much less boring. And having your dog to motivate you at the end will be awesome!!

    @gigigirl16 When I did my 50k challenge in December I broke it up into chunks and that helped a lot! I walked three hours in the morning, rested an hour or so, and then spent the day touring a local town. I visited all the cute shops. Then, at night I did another three hours of straight...

    @gramm15 I am very lucky and my grandmother picks her up from school sometimes. However, I do have a wagon I pulled her in for about two hours of my adventure. She had her tablet, a bajillion snacks, a ton of blankets, and some coloring stuff. It was a good motivation to have her with me.

    @famof6 10k is so much more than a lot of people though! I wear New Balance Nergize. I will never own another running / walking shoe. These things are amazing. I just replace them when they wear out. I am blown away by how comfy they are.

    3 Things I learned walking 100,000 steps (48 miles!) in a single day, plus tips on long-distance walking:

    @iaen I do! I ate around 5,000 calories that day. Most of it was at night after I was done. The next day, I ate the rest of the extra calories. I usually burn 2,500-3,000 calories per day (I’m a runner / lifter) and try to hit at least maintenance so I can build muscle.
