Building a treadmill desk

Hey guys
some time in the next year, I'll start out ridiculously early, and walk all the way to Disneyland.

We'll meet up and have drinks

While eternally optimistic, I have to allow for the slight possibilty that I might not be ready to meet up in '09.

I've gotten into the habit of updating my sig on Mondays. So I just updated it to:

Walking to DLR: 2,639 Miles | Miles walked: [197.40] | % Complete: [7.48] | Est. Arrival Date: 11/19/2016

Total miles is based on Google Maps driving directions: 2,639

Miles Walked is directly from the treadmill odometer: 197.40

Percent complete is: Miles Walked / Total Miles

Est. Arrival Date is: Today() + (miles remaining / ave miles per day)

Average miles per day is calculated using a starting date of 3/17/08
Currently we are at 238 days walking.

So my planned arrival date is:

11/10/08 + (2441.6 / 0.833)
11/10/08 + 2931
11/19/2016
A Saturday


Also of note:

My miles per day figure is pathetic due in part to a couple of weeks of vacation, a leg injury, a few lazy weeks and the fact that I count weekend days even thought I don't generally work/walk on them.

I have been much more consistent in the last two months, so that figure is slowly climbing and as it does, the arrival date gets closer. I seem to be dropping off about a month each time I update the sig line.

Oh, and I've upped my walking speed from 1.2 to 1.3mph. It makes a difference.

You're still wrong

197.4 miles / 238 days = 0.829411764705882

Skipping the rest of the calculations, I jump to:

Estimated arrival date: December 1, 2016

Ahhh! I see your problem. Well at least one of your many problems.

Today. As of today I have walked 197.4 miles in 238 days. However I have only recorded mileage as of yesterday. So in the spreadsheet formula I subtract one from the total days.

197.4 / 237 = 0.83291139240506329113924050632911
Which I choose to round off to 0.833

The sig line stays as written.

And once again, you can piss off.

So; were you lying then or are you lying now?

Hey, once you stop exaggerating your claims and misrepresenting your actual successes (or more specifically, the lack thereof), I will stop harassing you. Until then, I shall remain ever vigilant against the falsehoods and tyranny that spew forth.

Search your feelings Kevy, you know this to be true. Kevy, I am correct.

Today I was able to update my profile. I am now located in Ohio!



I crossed the bridge from West Virgina into Ohio a little after noon EST today.

Thanks to Google Earth for the street level view of my path!
