[NAGDU] Pace

[Dan Weiner]

But in a sense does it matter--smile I mean how far matters, but how fast
really doesn't to me, of course I can understand you're curious, but it's
more about enjoying the walk and being safe and happy.
Look there was a guy at Leader when I was in class once who had doubles with
me and he kept pissing and moaning that he was twice my speed, I told him
then if it's really a problem he needs to be with someone else because he'd
be more comfortable and so would I--smile.

But anyway, let us know how it goes.
I too, am not uniform on this, I remember when I used to clock my speed with
a trekker that sometimes I was slow and then say on an open stretch of
sidewalk I as twce as fast.

Dan the man

Dar,
you can use one of the apps on the i phone to count your pace.  You can also
get talking pedometers which count your steps and say how far and fast
you've walked..

hth,
Cait
