Hoofing It

Yesterday evening I walked for an hour and a half, Central Square to Powderhouse Square, basically. Tracing it on Yahoo Maps, it says it's only 3.24 miles. I feel sort of ripped off. It felt like 5.

I have a pedometer, but I haven't been able to calibrate it correctly. I wonder if any sporting goods stores sell pedometers and calibrate them for you in-store.

It feels so much farther than that, when you're walking it. I might be adding some distance because of my habit of dodging to wherever the shade is, which sometimes means cutting across Mass Ave multiple times to get to the shady stretches. Also, it's time for me to invest in proper walking shoes.
