Distances

I have over estimated my distance traveled on foot. From here out, I will use the following values:
From Home to:
Trail Entrance - 0.2 mi
Work via Roads - 0.67 mi
Work via Forest - 1.0 mi
Near Mall - 3.75 mi
From Trail Entrance to:
North Map - 1.25 mi
North Trail Head - 1.75 mi
Gas Station - 1.75 mi
Movie Theater - 2.33 mi
Far Mall - 4.75 mi
- I usually walk to work via roads. Maybe 2/3 of the time I walk home through the forest. This means my daily walking is around 1.5 miles a day.
- My warm up and cool down for a run is the distance between my house and the trail entrance, so 0.2 mi either way.
- My current run has been round trip to the North Trail Map, 1.25 mi each way, or 2.5 mi total. Add in my warm up, and that means each morning I run I am traveling 3 mi before work. No wonder it has felt easy.
- My next big goal will be to get my distance run up to the North Trail Head, or 3.5 mi total. That will give me 4 mi total distance on a run day. My long runs a few years ago were 6-7 miles, so this is still easily reached.
- The distance to the far mall on a bike is essentially nothing. I really need to do it at least once.
