Selected this tab this morning and nothing was there except the buttons on the right. Refreshed, logged out and in, clicked the link below the maps - it all ended up with a blank screen.

Yeah, I fixed a bug that someone found yesterday and caused the page to show up whenever someone without any steps (completely new members!) tried to view the page and I fixed that bug.

It had to be a pretty traumatic experience for those newbies! Imagine waking up to that page the first time you visit a website! =)

Anyhow, like I said, I fixed that bug, but unwittingly created a much bigger bug causing the page to show up as blank for everyone else. (Surprisingly, it didn't generate an error message on the site, so it didn't record the error so I never knew it was there. Worked fine on my development machine!)

But it should all be fixed now. =)

I'm a little stunned at the sheer number of new members who've signed up in the past week. I usually get 2 or 3 people (on average) signing up each day, but in just the last 24 hours, there have been 17 (seventeen!) signups!

And for anyone who hasn't created a Walking 4 Fun account yet.... the 3-digit ID numbers are almost full! We're up to member #942 and the last 58 3-digit IDs look to fill up very quickly! Grab yours while you can! =)

It's the same reason gym memberships sky rocket this time of year, New Years Resolutions. There will be all these people walking on the trails and then there will be all these frozen balloons on the trails for people who have stopped recording steps a few weeks down the road.

Okay, the main My Walk page should be working again. I feel like I'm playing a game of wack-a-mole with these bugs! I fix one, but in the process, it breaks something else.....

I'm really enjoying Walking4Fun. Hope 2014 proves to be as much fun as 2013.

I saw you speed past me on the Camino Francais in a flurry of dust some months back. =)

My stats for what they are worth:

Steps: 2,778,451 steps
Distance: 1,244.1 miles
Burned: 125,427 cal (35.8 lbs)
Avg steps: 8,765 steps/day
Avg distance: 3.9 miles/day
Avg calories: 396 cal/day
Days walked: 317
Trails completed: 4
Currently 18th overall

But the one I really like: Distance around earth: 5.001%

I will now drop off the Wonderland Trail where I've pottering along over the holiday period and start the PCT. Can I finish it in a year? I doubt it but I'll give it a good shot.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. Most of you will start seeing this number as part of your "total" counts. Pretty much I was the only person who created an account in 2012, so for the whole of 2013, I saw "yearly" counts and "total" counts, but the distance around the earth only displays for "total" counts--which I don't think you would have seen since the numbers were the same as the yearly counts.

Only people who created accounts in the previous calendar year and have walked at least 250 miles in total will see that statistic.

I'm up to 16.405% around the earth. At this rate, I should walk an earth distance in about six years, give or take. I guess than I'll have to start walking the earth-moon distance! Which I wouldn't be able to do in a lifetime of hiking.... =) (I haven't actually implemented the earth-moon calculation as of yet, though. I figured I could wait for 6 years before that become necessary!)

All of them as follows:
Number 1 is naturally -YOU-
Number 2 is Ladymouse - an AQ member - who I had the pleasure of meeting in very tasty place.
Number 3 is Hyacinth - an AQ member
Number 4 is Bug Food Babe - and AQ member - with a very interesting trailname
Number 5 is John Z - sorry John, never heard of you
Number 6 is Cowboy's Girl - never heard of her either
Number 7 is Rocklun - an AQ member
Number 8 is Betsy - where did she come from? a few days ago I was number 8, all of a sudden there's Betsy - but she only has a couple more miles than I do.

start the PCT

Good luck! I hope to get there in a few weeks as well, hopefully we'll meet at a more leisurely pace on the PCT. But first I am struggling to get in front of Wolf here on the Long Trail. Why oh why do I do this to myself.

Ain't that the truth!

I started out the year pretty weak, but I had an excuse that you wouldn't believe anyway. Now with rain being forecast I'm worrying about the rest of the week.

You do this because she turns around and eggs you on. Its watching her stick her fingers in her ears, cross her eyes and go "neener neener neener" that keeps you going.

Oh, good! I was afraid that was just rude, but I'm glad you find it encouraging! I'll remember that the next time we hike!

Actually, I know how that works since I have sons that do that to me now! I was climbing the GAZILLION steps up Chimney Rock with Vincent (age 14).
He said to me, "All these steps are rather annoying."
I said, "You too? Oh, good! I need another break!"
He responded, "What's annoying is all the panting and whining I keep hearing behind me."
OMG!! I was motivated to get up those steps just to CHOKE him!!! Where the heck did he get that mouth?!! And I soooo would have choked him if I could have caught my breath to catch him!!

Number 1 is naturally -YOU-

I don't think I'll hold the #1 by the end of this year. Right now, I walk a lot which certainly helps keep me ahead, but just as important, I had a good two month head start over my testers before the site became live, and closer to a 6-month head start for over half the members on the website. There are some people from the Fitbit website using it, though, that are absolutely smoking my daily mileage that I except will eventually pass me by. The only reason I'm ahead of them now--and I do mean the only reason I'm ahead is because of my substantial head start!

Check out Diane, for instance. She only signed up in August, but wow! Look at all those wildebeest and even a cheetah! I've never gotten a wildebeest and the only reason I got a cheetah was during a thru-hike. She's not even thru-hiking! If she keeps this up for an entire year, she might darned well pass all of us within a year or two. *nodding*

I checked out Diane. She is currently 20th and I agree she will probably be pushing us all down on the list before long. Very impressive. If I was 20 something again and in shape I could probably keep up with her. *wishing*

I really enjoyed walking along with you before you took a vacation. Looking forward to bumping into you again on the trail.

Now go get Betsy!!

Betsy could be interesting. After checking out her awards she is very much a serious walker. She has a few badges I never even knew existed. But I'll try :-)

Ahhh! Yes! and just the fact that she is Mama Wolf and she is "ahead" of me (as usual). I can't wait to find the registry entry she left for me.
