It's 50 miles.
I'm aware it would be no cake walk; but if 100 miles can be done in a day (http://walking.about.com/od/ultratraining/a/schiedam100.htm) than I think I can do 50. Plus I'd be at the beach afterwards. Getting back has yet to be thought out but we have DARTs that run up and down the state that I would probably use. I'd probably walk to the coast and head down along the beach until I reach the beach of choice, rehoboth.
This came to mind after reading the information in this thread

The two have nothing related to one another except that him sailing around the world is a huge accomplishment. Obviously my walk to the beach wouldn't even be 1/4th of a par of what he has accomplished. I would be proud of myself if I did this though.
It would be after July 29th but before school started for me (later in august I think).

i mapped it out, 50 miles.
unless you mean mentally which i think you do -
i think you need to go to the beach in your mind and make a sand castle of love.

People run marathons all the time...(26 miles)...so with some training....why not?
you first though. -
brother I wish you all the best with this but that would be a brutal walk. Wear good shoes. How many minutes per mile do you think you can do?
-
8 minutes/per mile * 50 miles = 400 minutes or 6 hours and 2/3rds of an hour. youch....
-
i calculated that as well. it would take 12 hours. probably 15 though because I doubt I could keep that pace up the whole time.
i have good shoes :up: -
I used to do a 50 mile bike ride every year for charity on my mountain bike.. it's a long way on wheels.. much less feet. Go do twenty and see how the leg cramps and blisters work out.. to cold turkey 50 miles on your first crack is to set yourself up for failure that will have nothing to do with determination or heart.Sethdaddy8 and NaboCane like this. -
yeah i hear what you're saying i could do 20 miles if i did my current route 10 times.
should try that soon when there's good weather.
edit: and time it.cnc66 likes this. -

You realize that if you walk 50 miles there you have to walk 50 miles back right? :lol:
-
No we have something called DARTs. They are our state public transit system. I can get one from there back up to here.
-
Ohhh okay I see.
If its something you want to try I say go for it, I personally wouldnt but I mean I understand the need to prove something to yourself. I for example want to run a marathon eventually. -
-
that's a goal of mine too but no way am i running 50 miles ROFL.

-
Why not trying to ride the bike?
From what I understand you dont have one, but is there you could perhaps borrow? -
I do have one but it is not ride-able. I'm sure I could get it to that point again.
The reason why i want to walk and not ride it is because I enjoy walking more than I do riding a bike. Even at 50 miles. -
Makes sense.
Personally, Id follow Marty's advice and to halfway and back.
You will walk fifty miles, and you wont have to walk 50 miles back. -
well the beach is as much a part of it as the distance is
-
I most definitely will not be able to keep my pace up for that long. I do 2 miles 5 days right now and know I will be slowing down after a while.
-
That would be very hard to maintain, hell I'm winded just thinking about it.
-
50 phinbucks(ahem) says he gets like 5 miles through and takes that train...
jk -
Well have fun destroying your feet.
-
delaware. it's incredibly, incredibly flat.
thanks -

-
50 miles only in my dreams sadly. :lol:
So congrats to you for actually setting a goal and feeling you can accomplish it, that's more than most of us can say and I know you can do it. :up: -
thanks if you go a couple of posts back i walked 20 (19.49) miles today and wrote about it.
-
Yeah I read that and your "hypothetically" when starting your blog threw me off. :lol:
My last post started with a congrats on that but then I said he said "hypothetically" so never mind. :lol:
Now that I know for sure I definitely congratulate you as 20 miles is a long long walk and also glad to see you doing things you want without holding back anymore. Its an admirable thing and I say that in all honesty. :yes:anlgp likes this. -
