in Fitness and Exercise
My son has a walk a thon today from 845 to 1130am can't wait but am sure the pace will be slow do you think counting it as 2.5 mph would be accurate to count? Or do you think 2.0 mph? I'm not sure but I want to be as close to accurate as i can be. I'll use my stop watch for actual time and they are first graders if that helps at all.
Thank you!

    record how long it takes you, find out the distance you covered, and then you can work out the speed you walked at...

    Thank you, good idea. I feel like my fitbit doesn't record distance accurately and it's just literally walking around in the neighborhood so I'm not sure anyone will be able to give me a good distance measurement but I'll try my best with my fitbit. Thank you very much.

    If you have a smart phone, you can download an app called Endomondo, which will record your speed and distance.
