Walking Maps

0: The Magnolia Neighborhood

I will walk all 50 miles of these streets by the September 15 2007. The rule for a "walk" here is that the walk needs to be at least 10 minutes long and must include the whole street.

1: Neighborhood Quick Loop

This is a short loop around my neighborhood and through Lawton Park. There's some large elevation gain up Thurman and through the park, then a steep downhill on Ruffner. Roughly One Mile

2: The David Anderson Walk

On Wednesday nights David Anderson comes by and we walk down to the pub. It's not quite long enough to qualify as aerobic.

Walked on:

16 May 2007

3: Ten Minute Quick Loop

This is a great elevation gain walk from my house. Bertona has a good 8% grade to it and 24th Ave W has maybe a 5% grade up, then 6% down, then Ruffner is 8% down to my alley, then flat to my house and 8% through my yard to 22nd and then down to Ruffner and back up 8% again.

So for a 10 minute walk, it's a pretty tough one.

4: Thirteen Minute Loop

This is a slight extension of the Ten Minute Quick Loop. It includes a trip down 23rd Ave W and then down the length of my block on 22nd Ave W.

Walked On:

9 April 2007

5: A mile to lunch

The walk from my office to Fremont for lunch.

Walked on:

8 May 2007

6: Ten Minute Power Walk

Leave the office, out and back in 10, good coverage. Keeps you honest.

Walked on:

8 May 2007

7: Ten Minute with Stairclimb

This is another 10 minute walk from the office that includes a lot of stairs.

Walked on:

10 May 2007

8: Nearby Loop with Vivian

Slowly inching my way through the neighborhood, tonight grabbing another 10 minute, high elevation gain walk with my wife.

Walked od:

11 May 2007

9: The Ten Minute Starbucks Run

A quick 10 minute walk to get a drink with 8 times the calories than the walk will burn off.

10: Pre Mariners Game Walk with Vivian

Vivian and I walked from our car parked for the Mariners / Yankees game to dinner and then went to window shop for furniture.

The Mariners won 3 to 0. Jarrod Washburn pitched 8 full shutout innings. Nice club level seats with a great view - especially for Vivian.

11: 20 Minute Loop on 23rd and 24th

A nice loop after an active day. If you look at the Hybrid, you'll notice that 24th has a few sections of parallel streets.

This is also a crazy aerobic loop with a lot of elevation gains and losses. On 24th between Dravus and Bertona, there's a 5% down to the middle of the block and a 7% up from there north.

Walked:

12 April 2007

12: 10 minute loop with Vivian

Working with Vivian to get the closer neightborhood cleaned up. This is a mostly flat and rather unattractive walk that we did to get a few more streets in.

Walked:

12 May 2007

13: First walk in the saddle

Vivian and I took a quick walk, mostly flat, about a mile and a half around the center of Magnolia.

13 May 2007

14: Wallingford Loop after Breakfast

Went for Dim Sum at the Taiwanese Rocking Wok.

After had a 15 minute walk through Wallingford

13 May 2007

15: Longer Walk to Starbucks

Foregoing the parking lot loop by Starbucks, this route goes down to the Duck park and back to Starbucks.

Walked on

14 May 2007 with William

16: Walk after Martinis in Colorado Springs

Two smoky martinis and an amazing meal later, I needed a good walk to stretch out and get some serious blood flowing. This is an older neighborhood of Colorado Springs, lots of wonderful turn-of-the-century architecture here. No tourist would ever find their way here accidentally.

17: Big Terrain Changes

This 18 minute walk starts flat down gilman then has a good elevation gain on Elmore and a huge one on 26th, probably an 11% grade. Then 12% down on Thurman and 6% up on 25th. There's a flight of stairs down from the end of 25th, then about a 5% grade down emerson to my house.

Walked 18 may 2007

18: The Walk in Garden of the Gods.

See the parking lot flag for a description.

19: Long walk to Coffee

It's been a year since I started reading one Philip K Dick book a month. I want to write a very long blog post about it. But I needed to get away. So I walked this 20 minute hike to Cafe Apassionato and picked up several new roadway stretches in the process. This was followed by the Longer Walk Back from Coffee.

20: Even Longer Walk Back from Coffee

Holy cow, with my laptop and several Philip K Dick books in my bag. I did this 25 minute walk with 35 pounds on my back. There are several elevation gains and losses on this particular walk. But danged if I didn't pick up a lot of previously uncovered streets.

19 May 2007

21: Another Central Magnolia walk with Vivian.

After a late dinner, at 11 pm, Vivian and I did this ten minute walk around downtown Magnolia. This late night aerobic walk looks great in my walking stats.

22: After dinner with Ken and Vivian

Ken was down from Vancouver and we went for a fairly early dinner at Mondello. As summer approaches Seattle, the sun stays up later and later. We were able to do this circuit at about 9 pm with sun.

23: Quick Morning Walk to get part of Bertona

24: Long walk on the Phone

I had a conference call this morning at 8:30, so I took a nice long walk. Lots of good street picking.

25: Late night walk to Dinner

At 10 pm on a great night, I walked down to meet the Platial crew for dinner. About a 12 minute walk, this was a nice end to the evening.

26: The Butterclam Loop

On the map, this is deceptive. It's actually a 40 minute loop.

Walked on:

26 May 2006

27: The Big Ocean Shores 'Hood

Vivian and I took an hour long walk around our neighborhood in Ocean Shores. Mostly we wanted to look at some new properties on Texmar. It was a great walk.

walked on:

26 May 2007

28: Ocean Shores - Ostego Walk

This is about a 40 minute walk to the end of Ostego, also on the Bell Canals, this street seemed rather lifeless when compared to Cockle or Butterclam.

Walked on

27 May 2007

29: The Other Side of Razor Clam

A nice 30 minute walk to cover most of North Razor Clam and another part of Wynoochie.

30: Painful late night 5000 step walk

Wow, this was a whole lot of walking late at night with crazy huge elevation gain. But I just could not let the night pass without making my 11,000 step goal.

Walked

28 May 2007

31: Slightly longer walk back

David and I took a slightly longer walk back from the pub to get in 10 minutes on an otherwise aerobic-free day.

29 May 2007

John and I walked up to have a nice lunch at Birds and then back to his place.

Ken and I took a nice 40 minute walk down Highway 111 at about 11 pm. It was too hot the rest of the day to venture out.

What do people see in this place?

4 June 2007

Ken and I took a 15 minute walk after dinner, but then had to rush home as dinner didn't seem to work right.

5 June 2007

37: Nice walk around Queen Anne with Vivian

38: Walk down 32nd to Eliott Bay

This is a gorgeous walk through a ravine to Eliott Bay. That part where Howe crosses over, Howe is actually about 100 feet in the air over 32nd.

39: Errands And a Quick Walk

40: Walk to Brewhaha and Back

This was a 15 minute walk up to Brewhaha for coffee and then back again.

42: Longish walk to the bottom bottom of Lake Union

William and I took a mildly long walk to be southern tip of lake Union.

43: Loop while waiting for the pharmacy

They said it'd take 15 minutes. Any walker knows that means 15 minutes to walk!

44: Half Hour with Mosquitoes

this is a pleasant half hour loop that involves many mosquitoes.

45: Walk to Eat

Took a walk and got some nice food

46: Line 46

47: July starts with a looong walk

I ended the workday with about 5,000 steps and needed 5,000 more after the baseball game ended. So I did this longish walk up to the old Smith School and the new park behind it.

48: Morning walk to coffee

I meet one of my consultants for coffee on Tuesday Mornings. Great way to institutionalize a walk

49: 4th of July morning walk

It's pretty hot today, but this was a good walk and a lot of new streets collected.

50: Hike to the Lighthouse with Vivian

There were record low tides, and Vivian wanted to see the tidal pools. This is a wilderness hike with constant elevation gains and losses to get down to the beach. We did this on the 1st of July, which was a great way to get this month started on the right foot.

51: Out picking up stubs

This was a walk meant to clean up some of the little chunks of street I hadn't gathered near the house.

52: Grabbing some new streets

Nice 40 minute sunday morning walk in Ocean Shores

53: picking up more tiny streets

54: Line 54

55: Good long summer walk for 28th

Gathered some street sections and a good long chunk of 28th on the 12th of July

56: A good Saturday Walk on the second hill

A good four and a half mile walk around the other side of the neighborhood.

57: First walk to break past the 28th ave W barrier

I'm having to go farther and farther to get newstreets!

58: A very long walk

It was perfect walking weather when I got to San Diego. So before dinner I took a very long walk covering most of the waterfront twice.

59: Walk to dinner on Queen Anne

25 July 07

60: Fill in street

I grabbed this during a walk in July on streets I've covered so many times it wasn't worth mapping the whole walk.

61: 9,000 stepsin one go!

62: Searching for Dinner

We went wandering in Ballard to first try a new place but the menu didn't appeal, so we went to Ballard Brothers on 15th.

63: A stroll down Ballard Avenue

Vivian wanted to buy some stuff on Market Street but when we got there everything was closed. So we took a walk down Ballard Avenue instead.

64: Pacific Place to Whole Foods

65: Pacific Place to Steelhead Grill

Steelhead has some amazing brunch.

66: long way back to the car after dinner

67: Perkins Lane (mostly)

Perkins Lane is a very expensive and highly unstable area of Magnolia. People who buy houses there have to be comfortable with their extremely expensive insurance. Every few years a few of them fall into Puget Sound.

Walked on a pleasant sunday with Vivian.

68: An hour stroll with Howard

Howard Rheingold, Pearl and I went walking through a valley near his house. He's trying to do an hour a day and this walk neatly fit that bill. Lucky for both of us, it was great weather for walking.

The only problem was: when I left Mountain View it was over 90 degrees. In Mill Valley it was about 65. I drove all over Mill Valley trying to find a sweatshirt. They apparently hate sweatshirts in Mill Valley.

Finally, I borrowed a jacket from Howard.

69: Late night walk with vivian

After dinner on our first night in Monterey, Vivian and I took a long walk on the waterfront.

70: After dinner stroll with Carolyn

After having a nice meal in Benicia, Carolyn Henn and I walked along 1st Street to work off a bit of the sweet stuff.

72: Walk with Vivian

73: Line 73

74: Line 74

75: Monterey to Pacific Grove

A nice long walk from Monterey to Pacific Grove for dinner at Passionfish and then back again.

I believe Monterey / Pacific Grove is the best place I've ever walked.

76: a little fill in line

We walked along here too.

77: Downtown Colo Spgs

William and I did this walk back in June and I forgot to put it in.

78: Garden of the Gods / Scottsman's Trail

I did this walk with William and then again alone the next day. Beautiful walk this is.

79: Walk to APLN

I walked from the office to the APLN meeting at the Seattle Avanade offices for our confab with Sanjiv Augustine.

80: Ocean Shores - Hoko and Queets

81: Sorta our hike

We did a three mile hike through Leadbetter point state park from the bay to the ocean and back again. I don't have the map resolution to even really guess at how this would actually be mapped.

82: Picking up a lot of streets

I had 2,000 steps at the end of the day. I had to go for an 8k odyssey.

83: Walk around Hoan Kiem

84: My Office

The Starting Point of Most Daytime Walks, I'd imagine.

85: Home

Most things start from home.

86: Safeco Field

I'm hoping that I can list more than one baseball game in this map.

11 May 2007 Mariners 3 Yankees 0

87: Blue Star Restaurant

My hotel and work locations in colo spgs are lousy for walking. However, after a great meal at Blue Star (I have been here twice now), we went for a 15 minute walk so I could exercise off my two smoky martinis.

88: Garden of the Gods Lot 1

William and I got up early to take a hike through Garden of the Gods. Even though my pedometer didn't say this was an aerobic walk, I'm sure counting it as one. My pedometer needs to take an oxygen reading, I think.

18 May 2007

89: Cafe Apassionato

90: Red Cottage Inn

I stayed here in Menlo Park.

91: The Sai Oak

Our Vacation Home, plan on seeing quite a few walks from here.

94: Miramonte Resort

Ken Thompson and I stayed here while we attended the 2007 ITS America conference in Palm Springs.

95: Placemark 12

97: Walking at MSP

I did about a half hour walking in the airport here.

The busiest airport also has a great tram system that is optional. If you choose to walk, you'll get a few miles in.

I walked the halls for about 3000 steps to fill out the day after my walk got rained out.
